Russia invades Ukraine Feb 2022

[JPGJOHNNYG]

According to the news Poland have a load of them. They want them replaced with new Jets from the US and then give Ukraine the Migs so that the Ukranian pilots are good to go as they know the planes and dont need further training

Should send them some trebuchets when they're at it .

Just googled trebuchets,  very good

If they can get those Polish MIGs then they may finally sort out that massive sitting duck convoy

Ah, I dunno if they'll make anything like the impact the Ukranians hope for - I think their impact will be vastly underwhelming compared to their resources consumed. They might think it a morale winner - but when they are mostly smoking holes in the ground within a couple of days - then it may have the opposite effect.

I'd think it more useful if Poland's order for >20 TB2 drones was directed Ukraine's direction instead. Turkey themselves have over 100 and are a NATO member - why are they not being tapped up for sending a rake more over.

Austrian company Schiebel make the Camcopter - perfect for ambushing vehicles in the Ukrainian terrain. Can NATO not gather together a few dozen of these? 'Course they can. The Belgians have them, the French have them, the Italians have them and so do the Yanks.

Even old Predators from the US would do a fine job.


Best of it is, how are the Russians going to know if a Predator is being piloted by a Ukrainian 10 miles away, or a trained operator sitting 400 miles away in Poland taking cues from on ground Ukrainian forces? They (Russians) sure as hell wouldn't have enough proof to push any further.

A covid expert and a war expert. Some boy for one boy.

Are you talking MIGs as in the Soviet era planes that Poland had when they were in the Warsaw pact, sometime in the middle of the last century?

I don't think Poland has many of them still flying given that they are now in NATO and have been for 20+ years.

Poland have some, as do Slovakia and Bulgaria. The point is that they will have probably be replaced in the new few years and you might as well scrap them in dogfight against the Russians.

But the earlier comments about drones are also relevant.

You joke but literally anything would obliterate that massive convoy which is just asking for it so puzzled why it hasnt

I have heard a few military experts on the news saying the same.

Craic was, Poland were gonna get F-35s in 2024
Craic now is, the Yanks might give them the next brand spanking new ones off the production line if they hand over their Fulcrums to the Ukrainians.

But there would need to be NATO sensitive equipment removed first.
and its not clear how much capability they have for precision air to ground.
or even what air to air munitions they run on.

Not straightforward.

A lot of fertiliser is produced in Ukraine.
But then, perhaps they have placed a culvert bomb further down the road and when the convoy gets there they will blow up the first couple of yokes and emerge with anti tank missiles to get the rest.

have the West no truck mounted missiles that could be donated to fire at static convoys and the like?

Poland to give the MiGs to the Yanks, who will then give them to the Ukrainians.

Brit government deny accusations that it has been making it difficult for Ukrainians to apply for visas. Those Ukrainians who were in France were told to apply at Calais, when they got to Calais there was no reception centre, instead they received the news that they had to apply at the British embassy Paris and take advantage of a walk-in appointment period on Thursday afternoons between 2 pm - 3pm.

Apparently they are "concerned" because we will be taking in lots of the poor devils.

Priti Stupid is on the case.

Nothing but flat out lies again and again and again from that party. Disgusting and without an ounce of humanity between them.
