#UkrainianTransition
Thanks for sharing, @randahl.

“This transition to Western equipment and Western standards has taken place all over the Ukrainian armed forces.”

Thanks for yet another very informative video, @anderspuck.

➡️ Slovakia handed over all 13 promised MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine, the country's Ministry of Defense reported - United24Media

⭕ Repainting them will be completed October 2024 - my sarcasm 😶

#Ukraine #War #Fighters #AirDefense #AirSuperiority #Airforce

Stunned that the #West is going let its own tanks be destroyed on #Ukrainian #battlefield field without #airsuperiority. Ukrainian air force is nearly depleted. It will be carnage on the ground. And, thinking selfishly, we’ll have depleted our stocks for nothing, especially the UK, barely a tier-2 fighting force because of Tory underinvestment (equipment, not personnel). Give #Ukraine air power. We have acted spectacularly late on this. Too late. #Ukraine 🇺🇦

If 🇺🇦 suffer land reversals they’ll seek for more conventional #warfighting kit for a land war. That’ll involve providing for #airsuperiority, AS. The West has ALREADY wilted. This would mean that the West’s MBTs due to arrive in Spring, given (mutually) ideal terrain, gain offensive/retake near immediately. But without AS the tank crews will be hard pushed. Inevitably, the deal is now about saving the West’s #MBTs. A land battle defeat would be UNTHINKABLE. Rethink #F16s!

Look closely. See the similarities? Top is #Ukraine, bottom is WWI/WWII. This is the cost of no #AirSuperiority. Owning the air (1) enables precision munition employment, (2) safer friendly force movement, and (3) punishing close air support of the #enemy. @MriyaReport@twitter.com
