I am for giving them planes, drones, anti aircraft equipment, all of it. Wingus Dingus Mar 2022 #7

We need to give them some advanced surface to air missiles Calculating Mar 2022 #8

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
