It's not over yet. We are flying their forces back on our aircraft. My guess is they will offload with a lot of...extra equipment. At least that is my hope.

Probably only carrying their personal weapons. Heavier stuff would require a long, sustained air lift. I doubt we're going to send C-17's & C-5's into MiG infested airspace.

But if we're serious, that is exactly what we would do, escorted by 12 or more Raptors, with tanker and AWACS support, also escorted heavily.

Huge calculated risk, but about the only logistical way we have of showing the Russians we are deadly serious about them not gobbling up the whole of Georgia.
