At a secret airfield in Eastern Europe, a multinational effort to send weapons to Ukraine proceeds at high speed
While at the airfield, Milley met with troops and personnel and examined the shipment activity, the official said Friday. The site has become a beehive of activity in recent days, going from a handful of flights each day to as many as 17, the field's maximum capacity.
The airport's location remains a secret to protect the shipments of weapons, including anti-armor missiles, into Ukraine. The Russian military has not targeted these shipments once they enter Ukraine, the official said, but there is some concern Russia could begin targeting the deliveries as its assault advances.

If they are returning to the same airfield, landings take time too.

(14,516 posts)the Ukrainians whose lives have been horribly upended by the attack. The sooner we can force Putin to relent, the better.
In a very real sense he is testing the West, just as Hitler did 75 years ago. We need to oppose Putin every step of the way. Strongly.

(9,880 posts)It truly is time for the world to say enough. Either Russians get rid of this man or watch their economy continue to decline while the rest of the world isolates them and refuses to do business with them. Once the market for Russian oil dries up in most of Europe, Russia will be relying on China as their major purchaser, and that will not be enough to sustain their economy.
