In a move likely aimed at increasing pressure on Europe to act, the Ukrainian parliament on Monday tweeted that Europe was sending 70 fighter planes to Ukraine, including 28 MiG-29s from Poland, 12 from Slovakia and 16 from Bulgaria, along with 14 Su-25s from Bulgaria.

They were coming from different countries. They were going to be delivered thru Poland.

Just to keep up and all.

THEY ARE NOT USING NATO EQUIPTMENT. They use Russian planes. Tommymac Mar 2022 #10

Exactly correct 32571 Mar 2022 #15

Incorrect. Poland has offered Russian planes. lagomorph777 Mar 2022 #33

They need to be trained on the Polish updated Mig 29s. Long and Short RU AA would be 10 times more uponit7771 Mar 2022 #59

No, but it makes it very easy to ignore things. Tommymac Mar 2022 #31

then what good is NATO in a emergency & have a contract dispute ? monkeyman1 Mar 2022 #48

They have pilots trained on Warthogs according to a former NATO commander ColinC Mar 2022 #51

True, they're not EFFICIENT at using them and Short and long range RU AA would do UKR way more uponit7771 Mar 2022 #60

And migs. Migs would be great. ColinC Mar 2022 #62

UKR doesn't need more migs, they need the drones and Turkey is airlifting them as we type uponit7771 Mar 2022 #67

Agree. Give them the planes they can fly now, ie radius777 Mar 2022 #34

Ukraine must receive those MIGs via land or sea; NATO cannot be seen as providing air cover. BlueWavePsych Mar 2022 #37
