You may be a coward always fearing “oh what will the bully do”. Obviously that means no one who actually is involved in making defense policies won’t bother about such concerns. That ended with Chamberlain. Because we know that not doing anything is what escalates a bully. It is very clear: Russia is violating the UN charter and the international agreement it has signed and hence are conducting not only an illegal aggression, but are engaged in an illegal annexation of land. The international community, according to international agreements Russia has signed, has the right to aid Ukraine in defending itself. Not only by sending arms, but actually by sending troops too. Some would also argue that the international community also must aid in protecting the UN charter and international law buy providing resources to end Russias crime. Russia as the illegal aggressor is always the one who escalate the situation if the situation escalates. Never the defender.

Is Ukraine taking ground back.. NO they are not. They put up a great fight and are very brave but time to negotiate before it gets worse. If NATO has to jump in expect a nuclear exchange. if Russia violates the peace treaty or cease fire or NATO then it's War .

[@Barlin-d2j]

Currently the war is going much better for Ukraine than Russia. Russia is spending around 40% of its GDP on the war. It lost billions of income thanks to sanctions and has to sell its natural resources for cheap. It had to ask one of the poorest countries in the world for help (North Korea). Russian conscripts are being send to the frontlines with less than a week of training, rusty weapons and no protection. Even wounded soldiers are being send back into battle without the chance to heal. Russia is reusing their 50+ years old tanks and the western tank-depots are mostly depleted. Around one third (?) of the russian fleet got destroyed, even though the Ukraine doesn´t have a navy anymore. Russia bought around 2000+ golf carts from china and is using those, as well as bikes, at the front, leaving their soldiers unprotected. The amount of deserters and people fleeing from conscription is higher than ever before. Russian soldiers at the front refuse to fight and basically begged the Russian government for help - does that sound like winning to you ??? The list goes on and on.... a full occupation of the Ukraine is unlikely and Russia is paying a very high price for following Putins insanity. A price Putin might not be able to afford. Currently Putin wasted already tens- if not hundreds of thousands of russian lifes as well as the military power, economic power, geopolitical power and wealth built up in decades - for what exactly ? He will sacrifice everyone and everything for his dream of ruling a new russian Empire, not stopping at all at murdering his own people when they speak up

[@Nauda999]

@@englishmaninmedellin7294 That is part of the plan, add in the US contractors news are talking about. The biggest problem is if airfields are located in Ukraine how to protect them, and if one in Romania is used to convince Russia not to strike Romania or it would make this whole proxy war pointless since it would go directly full scale war.

[@dan9002]

Adding F-16'S might be first used for air to air while the Migs can be used for air to ground. Basically more aircraft will enhance the Ukrainian Air Force. Real War is not a Video Game. The real difference is that the F-16's radar range and ordnance weight is 3 times that of the Mig-29 not to mention the vast array of ordnance the F-16's can fire. That means a F-16's can see a Mig-29 3 times further than a Mig's radar can and fire on it before the Mig knows anyone is there. That is the real change on an air to air battle. This establishes a wider range for Ukrainians Air Force and a much smaller one for Russia, here by reducing Russians use of combat aircraft in the conflict because of fear of them being lossed.

There is no difference between keeping their existing aircraft safe or F16’s. We don’t hear about Ukrainian Mig29’s being destroyed on the ground. F16 tactics for Ukraine are different than NATO tactics for a reason. Very small battle space. The truth is nobody knows what the effect will be.

Especially when we know and have known since the start that Ukraine is not likely to beat Russia even with the help of the collective west despite them not even being in NATO.

[@linkmarket9080]

Saab griffon is more suitable for operating in Ukraine because Swedish planes are designed to be maintained by conscripts and reservists and designed to be operated with less resources than the F16. Griffon is similar to late model F16 but little smaller. The advantage of F16s are they are given to Ukraine. The griffons will have to be bought new and pilots trained in Sweden and the spare parts supplies less available
