  1. I do not think the US has been sending Ukraine aircraft but what they have been sending is probably drones, missiles, MANPADS, radar systems, targeting systems and so on. Who is to say that a consignment of food is not a consignment of targeting systems. Maybe mobile phones are really GPS systems, Radio systems, timing mechanisms and so on.

  2. The US do not use warplanes on their own. They are part of a wider force infrastructure. When the US goes up against air defence systems they will be using signal jamming and decoy systems. The US could send in a series of cheap missiles that makes it appear like several squadrons are attacking. They can also fly stealth aircraft in that mix so that they cannot tell what is real and what is not. I suspect that Ukraine has learned how to do this.

  3.  @greghall4836  Syria is not a comparable to going up against air defence systems spread out across a country. When the US invaded Iraq in the first Gulf war in 1990 there was hundreds and thousands of anti air batteries spread out across the region. That means an attacking force must have the inventory of parts, fitters, technicians and manufacturing industries to keep a force supplied for months on end. The US has hundreds of thousands of missiles in various classes.

  4. Either Russian inventory is not as deep as presented or they are holding it back. I suspect they are holding it back on purpose because they have larger plans but those plans now maybe going out the window as things start to crumble.

  5.  @DanHym  The US would not have Mig parts other countries in the region might have.

  6.  @gabbyprincip1575  The US killed 2.5 million Vietcong in Vietnam and never lost a major battle of any type. The facts run counter to all the opinions that people.

  7. We will need to wait to see if this is the case. It looks like it but people need to exercise caution.

  8.  @ferrous3262  The US killed over 2.5 million Vietcong and clearly won the Vietnam war and got the Vietcong to surrender only for the US to pull an afghanistan. The US is very unpredictable which many countries should heed and be aware that they could just come and squash them like a bug if they get out of hand.
