Well, they have been training Ukrainian pilots for months.
Lots of them.
They will be young and inexperienced, but there will probably a lot of them. You figure 600-1000 combat ready fighters.
More dead, draws out the killing and more everyday people die. Who is really going to win this war, death?
I call BS on this. The war for the Ukes has now been severely limited with their poor offensive. Idiotic but I don’t know the intelligence they had. They may have been better off staying on defense or try to sucker Russia into an offensive move then cutting it off. I really don’t care but our economy is getting ready to take a hit, the European economy is in recession, and none of us can be expected to provide 500 billion (or more) to keeping Ukraine fighting another year. Assuming they don’t run out of men. The west will not like the videos of the coming draft gangs grabbing women off the street but it may come to that.
I really have a bad feeling about terrorism hitting the USA homeland soon. Just have that feeling due to wide open boarder and too many people would like to make us pay for the years of bullying/destruction we have inflicted across the globe.
