[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Ukraine has about 45, so 98 is a huge addition.[/quote]

Wow, that's a huge infusion at the same time Russia is transporting in plumbing repair vans for reinforcement.[/quote]
It’s about two squadrons worth of MiGs (9.12 and a couple of UBs) that were due to be replaced anyway with F-16V.  It’s a great gesture for sure and I love how the Poles are leading NATOs response but let’s keep things in perspective.[/quote]

Poland put Biden in a tough spot.  Poland basically is saying step up America and do the deal out of Germany so we are all in this together.[/quote]

OK. So conduct the transfer in Moldova.

But get this done extremely quickly.  The Migs are desperately needed today![/quote]

The Poles are scared to do this and they have NATO backing.  Moldova would be nuts to agree to this.

I really don't understand the reluctance for NATO countries though.  They are opening providing billions in weapons to Ukraine.  I don't see how fighter jets crosses some line that they haven't already crossed.  I suspect the issue is more about whether the US can really replace the Polish MiGs in any timely fashion.  I doubt the US has a couple dozen F-16s just sitting around ready to send to Poland.[/quote]

It’s a PR stunt. If they were serious there would not be a press release. The planes would just magically show up in the Ukraine. Poland would fuel and arm the planes fly them to an abandoned airfield close to the border where the Ukraine pilots would take them. The Russians would never know. [/quote]
