Unfortunately, I think everyone saw this coming. NATO tactics require air superiority.

Expect F-16 and F-18’s in large numbers at Ukraine next, and Abrams tanks.

It gets more dangerous for the region by the day.

Who's going to fly them? Ukraine doesn't have any trained pilots left. They've all been killed, including the Ghost of Kiev. And a US air force pilot will refuse to fly missions in a combat environment without air superiority, even if Victoria Nuland threatens them with treason.

The Russian Lancet drone is worth it's weight in gold. I watched one take out the best Leopard tank in Ukraine. It destroyed a Leopard 2A6 in a matter of seconds. It hit the tank on the side between the turret and body. Surprisingly the Lancet only carried a 1 kilogram warhead. The war has changed when a $15,000 drone can take out a multi million dollar tank from over 5 miles away. Russia should thank Joe Biden for turning it into a bigger and better military force. They are also learning how to defeat our high tech weapons. They are jamming our guided Himars, jdams and now our man-pad shoulder fired anti aircraft weapons. Way to go Joe.
