It's a Polish ruse!
They are not going to get involved. Think about not countries, but NATO. Start there.
Not the way it works. If this works as Poland says, the Migs are going to Ramstein AFB in Germany.
It is my understanding that Russia has declared that any NATO country that assist in providing air assets to the Ukraine will trigger kinetic retaliation, specifically airfield and runways. And in essence declaring that NATO, or any other nation is from there on involved in the conflict.
Do you think for a second that Germany is going to agree to that!!??
Our government has lost it. WE are to blame for what’s going on out there. There is such a thing as diplomacy. I guess that not the purpose anymore of the US Department of State…
Smells to high heaven of Hillary involved. She knows all the players in the USDofST intimately.
I just checked. The Poles are playing Brandon, et al.
The maximum range of a Mig 29 with external tanks is 1300 miles. That is a one way trip with external tanks in “ferry” configuration (no armament – lightest possible aircraft).
The distance from Ramstein AFB to Kiev is about 950 miles so it is a one way trip, with no afterburner defensive maneuvers at optimum fuel conservation altitude, etc.
They will be inside Ukraine Russian controlled airspace for hundreds of miles and will not survive. Even if some made it, there would be no runways left in the Ukraine.
The Poles took Brandon to the woodshed. Checkmate!
