Idea is to virtue signal help to Ukraine not actually get involved. Also US is very cheap with their help - they should replace all 23 machines with nice somewhat newish F-16s but there seem to be friction in doing that. All 23 MiG-29As are more or less similar to F-16A/B except maybe older. I.e. they are disintegrating right now & were scheduled for scrapping once F-35s were to be delivered in few years.

Excellent idea - Poland should also offer all of their old Su-22M4s - they are similar to Su-25s but export variant. All to be replaced by F-16s in almost new condition. Soon this war will cost US more then Russia ;)

@tcos918 Its called an upgrade and great virtue signaling. Junk that was to be trashed will become brand new or slightly used F-16. Actual help to Ukraine will be minimal but in case Zielinski complains once can easily tell him - you got planes - be happy.

@milesinnz Putin is easily winning this and will win. The game is to hurt Putin using blood from Ukraine.

@milesinnz LOL, Putin is winning and no wars are not instant - it took US 3 weeks to get to Baghdad and Iraq was just after huge war, with heavy sanctions and not helped by billions in aid. LOL Ukraine winning? LOL. Show me this "victory" on the map. Captured Russian plan calls for 15 days. We are still few days from Odesa but not yet on day 15. So they are like on the money or a day / two behind. When Poland was communist its economy as measured by US was somewhere in the middle of Africa. There is a video of people escaping from Dnipro - heavy traffic. What is interesting that a country with 1/3 of income of Russia has ... multiple Porsche Cayenne stuck in traffic. Back to Poland in the 80s, when my mother went to UK in the 80s they could not believe that her clothes were her own... as she was better dressed then locals ... and that was in ... London. You know, capital of UK. They thought she had... rental clothing LOL. Again, you don't have a clue of what exactly you are talking about.

@milesinnz you ever visited your family in another country? Why so obsessed with a stock market. There was none in Soviet times yet people were fine.

@milesinnz My God, communist countries did not have any economy! Who knew.

@milesinnz Most western countries are moving towards some form of socialism which is what Soviet block used to have. Sure, they went on a new offensive between Kharkiv and Donbass - captured around 2000 square km and multiple small towns. Maybe you did not get a memo - even shown on wikipedia thus rather Ukraine centric. I am sure they move even more in the next two days. What the heck is trebant - I bet you mean trabant - east German car, which was called vacuum cleaner as it had rather revolutionary feature, it had a lot of plastic body panels.

Send them in crates after removing NATO equipment. By the time they are combat ready & we are talking about 40 year old planes, MiG-29As This way they would not aggravate Russians but virtue signal help for Ukraine. Win - Win.

@alfaromeo6985 LOL nope. If this was another dictator they would just make a deal or fight a proxy war. Wait... they sort of are doing this.
