I heard that Ukraine pilots are trained in certain jets but not others-- viva la Mar 2022 #1

I heard that, too. That's why they would like the jets from Poland, they know how to fly them. Rhiannon12866 Mar 2022 #3

They don't need the fighters as much as they need the stingers missles, javelin weapons, and air defense systems. Where, and how long are they going to be able to park another 30 fighters?

Come on America....I think it might be time to listen to the "educated" and the bright minds that we have leading the Pentagon and the other informed heads.
