  1. Why... why would Russia go into Poland when it does not even want all of Ukraine?

  2. b/c these are old. They are from the 80s production line. Their number of flight hours is so high they are at their retirement age - planes do not last forever. They also have not been upgraded in over 20 years.

  3. There are still some Ukies alive.

  5. Leaked documents are a joke. They feel like fakes - most info is from ... public domain. It all feels like a document to throw Russians off but Russia does not bite.

  6. The F-16 is predicted to be sent sometime next year if Ukraine lasts that long. It will not make a difference. S-400 system has very PK against 4th gen fighter. So any F-16s trying to dodge S-400 missiles is a suicide - they will be flying low.

  7. Well, more like 75 according to more reliable sources. Sending all Polish and Slovakian MiGs would replenish their losses in fighter aviation.

  8. MiG-21 is an interceptor, MiG-29 clearly not. However, older versions of MiG-29 are not at all multi role as their ground attack capabilities are very limited. More modern MiG-29, sure, mutirole. However, that being said, neither MiG-29 nor F-16 are well suited for a lot of missions within Ukraine with weapons supplied. Most of Russian attacks against UA with multi role stuff is with JADAM style weapons, while most bombers drop cruise missiles etc. Ground attack aircraft take out assets close by.

  9.  @artmcteagle  maybe, Russia have been using HARM so far a lot, as well as JDAM daily. Russian HARM is far more potent as it is a supersonic missile. Similar to new version US is getting now.
