Six US fighter jets arrive in Estonia amid Ukraine tensions

US European Command says fighters to remain in the region until the end of next week
By Brooke Singman | Fox News

Six U.S. fighter jets have arrived in Estonia, as part of the United States' broader effort with NATO allies to support the Baltic Air Policing Mission as Russia continues to threaten invasion in Ukraine, United States European Command said Wednesday.

The F-15E fighters belong to the 48th Fighter Wing of the U.S. Air Force and arrived to Estonia from their permanent home base in United Kingdom Lakenheath Air Force Base. EUCOM said the fighters would remain in the region until the end of next week.

"Baltic and enhanced Air Policing are enduring NATO missions that deliver constant vigilance of Allied airspace and contribute to the Alliance's collective defence posture," Major General Jöerg Lebert, Chief of Staff, Headquarters Allied Air Command said. "The additional aircraft will work closely with the current detachments to increase our readiness, build crucial interoperability and underline the robust solidarity across the Alliance." ....

300 reasons for Putin to think twice about invading Ukraine: US sends Kiev a plane-load of lethal Javelin anti-tank weapons - each with Vlad's name on them

• US has shipped 300 Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, latest part of a $200million military aid package
• Javelins are infrared guided missiles, designed to fly high into the air before slamming down on their targets -making them especially deadly against tanks because armour is thinnest on the top
• Ukraine has also been sent American Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and British-made NLAW anti-tank weapons
• Weapons are designed to inflict punishing losses on Putin's forces so he thinks twice about plans to invade

They better send more than six.

Why? Its not like they'll be flying in Ukranian airspace

Six? And F-15s??

Putin: [to his generals]: "Postpone Operation Zhukov until next week until those F-15s go home per the announcement of the Biden Administration. Oh hell screw it, what are 6 planes going to do? Launch at will."

Agreed. I am not a military expert so take anything I say with huge amounts of salt.

If(big if) Russia invades Ukraine, these 6 jets and a few more will be flying missions over NATO countries well within their borders. Then President Biden will declare, see, we helped prevent the invasion of NATO countries.

Once you lose control, allowing the natural gas pipeline and easing sanctions it become a deadly game of who flinches first.

China is watching.

Rumor has it that Cougar is leading the squadron. Until he has a panic attack and resigns that is.

Seems fitting for this administration.

Didn't someone around here caution last week to wait to see what President SHP actually sent over in support? Seems like fighter jets are sorta important stuff.

well that does mean there are 6 less F15s to use against American citizens now

Wow. A whopping 6 F-15s. I'm sure Putin in shaking in his boots.

That's an easy fix, mandate he get a COVID vaccine and doesn't put pictures of his family in the cockpit.

Send just enough to cause a media distraction from the crapshow here at home.

Thanks.
Noticed the Brits? send them NLAWS(unknown number) and we sent them Javellins (300)
i guess it's a desperate situation so they'll take what they can get.
Tactically they have two different uses?

I agree with you. We had a concerned moderate downplaying the support saying it could be any number of things and this looks like it was typical dementia gibberish that is getting implemented.

Is Putin invading Estonia now? Zero chance Estonia has permission to use the jets in defense of Ukraine.

If Russia backs down now, a Nobel Peace prize is certainly in order for Brandon.

Was this even a little in doubt in your mind?

Not at all, but many posts in the thread are assuming that's what they're for.
