Poland to send fighter jets to Ukraine. Hopefully this will encourage other former WP members to release their Soviet era inventories to Ukraine. Better late than never.

Interesting yet perverted. His argument and logic have more holes than a brick of Swiss cheese.

Anything that gives the Russians more to worry about is good.

However, more planes may not do much good, with both sides having effective ground threats to them.

wrote on 16 Mar 2023, 19:12 last edited by RenaudaI get that it is a recognized dilemma in this war. Nevertheless at least by sending Ukraine the Soviet era aircraft the NATO states close to Ukraine and Russia can modernise their air forces. As well, by supplying Ukraine with more air capability, Russia will continue to be held back from gaining any meaningful air superiority over a wide area in Ukraine.
Besides this war is not about to end any time soon. We either support Ukraine to the hilt or not.

Agreed. We have to stand fast here, regardless of duration. Otherwise we leave it that states can advance through military means.

Old argument. Back in the day, I made the argument that the U.S. should buy some Frogfoots from the Russians, plonk some new avionics in them and give them refueling capability.
They are a very capable airframe that can operate off of truly horrendous runways.

Good. Now, I wonder how the U.S. program is progressing that allows NATO weapons to be used on Soviet and Russian aircraft?

Putin was indicted before Trump! Who would have guessed that? It doesn't mean a whole lot, but it does put a little more pressure on him by further harming his international stature.

It's been said that the configuration of one's ears as unique as a fingerprint. Look at #1 and #2. They are the same person, based on the shape of the ear. I can't tell about #3. But, are they Putin? I dunno.
ETA: AHA!
