A no fry zone.

hopefully true

Erm, war??

 

[devogue]

Erm, war??

Can't imagine Russia will be happy but its not like they will be able to attack a German airbase.

I am slightly confused though because I thought Russia said anyone who supplies planes will be considered a member of the conflict. US is clearly calling their bluff.

 

[Glasshalffull]

Funny?

Tragic??

God bloody knows!

 

[tsubaki]

hopefully true

these are MIG-29As and nearly 30 years old, so how much of a help they are going to be is a question

 

[PhilM]

hopefully true

I'm sure the US have over 1,000 F-16s in their inventory, so it's not as if they'll miss twenty-odd planes. If it's true, it could be a huge positive for the Ukraine.

They (MiG-29s) may not be the best standard, but they'll do a job.

I mean they are the ones that the Ukrainians were flying anyway. I think jet planes have a long shelf life anyway right ? the F-16 was designed in the 70s

Yep. Looks like they are calling his bluff. Poland are giving their whole MIG-29 fleet to US and asking other Nato members to do the same. Not sure how many other countries have soviet jets.

All of the Eastern Bloc, us included - predominantly Russian/Soviet jets.
