And we could have sent F-16's ourselves but we didn't.

The MiG-29's made more sense early on because that's what they already had pilots experienced in. Now with better options like F-16's and Mirage 2000's it's less helpful.

We are in agreement.

Translation:

Poland will now buy F-35s

But, seriously I wouldn't doubt this is part of their calculation.

Good
They need to do more. This is their problem to deal with.

The US should sell arms to those EU countries who support the US. Like Poland.

Lend-Lease program?

Poland is already training with F35s at Ebbing ANB IN Ft Smith AR. Been there almost a year now. To be followed by the Germans, Singapore and several others

Good news! You're going to fly F-35's! You're headed to the United States for training! Where? Fort Smith Arkansas.

Heh...Ft Smith and area is actually a beautiful area and a very nice town. Much nicer than a lot of the places we train our guys in.

Better than Del Rio?

Looks like Ukraine has suddenly come up waaaaay short on air defense in recent weeks. Wonder how that might have happened.

BREAKING:

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff said he plans to meet with Putin tomorrow, January 22.

In an interview with CNBC, he said there has been “significant progress in negotiations with Russia on Ukraine.” pic.twitter.com/6PbD7rKcE1

The pro-Russian flop happens for the next week talking about how Zelenskyy doesn't want peace and Russia has been at the negotiating table this whole time/


Witkoff gonna get dog walked by the dude who specifically chose him to be the envoy to the US.

And when Witikoff leaves, Russia will launch another 500 missiles and drones at civilian apartment buildings and power plants. We have seen this movie before.

Whats the casualty count up to now for Ukraine? How many a month are killed on average?

I think I saw 1,000 civilians in December and 16,000 military in December.

Russia continues to hammer Ukraine's power infrastructure.

"Russia's heavy missile barrage directed against Ukraine on the night of January 20 appears to have involved the use of several new or unusual weapons. Various sources, unofficial and official, point to the possible use of a new version of the Iskander short-range ballistic missile (SRBM), as well as the rarely employed Zircon hypersonic cruise missile. Wreckage recovered in Ukraine also confirms, for the first time, Russia's use of repurposed missile targets for air defenses in a land-attack role."

I think I read reports that Ukraine fired over 40 patriot interceptors last night. We only produced 600 interceptors last year so that is a really big salvo.
