And we could have sent F-16's ourselves but we didn't.

The MiG-29's made more sense early on because that's what they already had pilots experienced in. Now with better options like F-16's and Mirage 2000's it's less helpful.

We are in agreement.

Europe continues to step up: Poland confirms plans to transfer the remainder of its MIG 29s to Ukraine.

Translation:

Poland will now buy F-35s

But, seriously I wouldn't doubt this is part of their calculation.

Good
They need to do more. This is their problem to deal with.

The US should sell arms to those EU countries who support the US. Like Poland.

Lend-Lease program?

Poland is part of the F-35 program and has already received some jets.

Heh...Ft Smith and area is actually a beautiful area and a very nice town. Much nicer than a lot of the places we train our guys in.

Looks like Ukraine has suddenly come up waaaaay short on air defense in recent weeks. Wonder how that might have happened.

The pro-Russian flop happens for the next week talking about how Zelenskyy doesn't want peace and Russia has been at the negotiating table this whole time/

And when Witikoff leaves, Russia will launch another 500 missiles and drones at civilian apartment buildings and power plants. We have seen this movie before.

Russia continues to hammer Ukraine's power infrastructure.

"Russia's heavy missile barrage directed against Ukraine on the night of January 20 appears to have involved the use of several new or unusual weapons. Various sources, unofficial and official, point to the possible use of a new version of the Iskander short-range ballistic missile (SRBM), as well as the rarely employed Zircon hypersonic cruise missile. Wreckage recovered in Ukraine also confirms, for the first time, Russia's use of repurposed missile targets for air defenses in a land-attack role."

I think I read reports that Ukraine fired over 40 patriot interceptors last night. We only produced 600 interceptors last year so that is a really big salvo.

Excellent article on patriot interceptors stockpiles:

Moving to produce 2000 a year, starting with a recent $9.8B deal.

Europe following US lead.

"The French Navy, aided by British intelligence, boarded the Comoros-flagged tanker "Grinch" today. The vessel had originated its voyage from Russia. The move comes amid a growing US and allied effort to use military force for interdictions of the so-called 'shadow fleet,' a network of ships with links to Russia that transport its oil, in breach of sanctions and price caps."

The new goal is to inflict 50,000 Russian casualties a month and keep pounding Russian oil and gas. And Trump keeps negotiating with Putin and Zelensky. Meanwhile the lines don't move much at all.

A Russian military blogger, Z-patriot, and veteran, Sviatoslav Golikov, speaking in an interview with Maksim Kalashnikov, expressed deep concern as he was forced to address Russian losses and Ukraine's growing success in the "drone war":

"Unfortunately, the adversary has managed to reach casualty levels among our manpower that are highly favorable for them. The enemy's planfocused on the destruction of our personnel within a defensive strategyis working effectively."

"Through our strategic offensive operations, we are effectively assisting the enemy in carrying out their plans. They barely need to do anythingsit safely in fortified shelters and eliminate advancing forces with drones as they come to their deaths."

"The enemy's stated objective of pushing our manpower losses to 50,000 per month may, regrettably, indeed be achieved

So they are setting up a defensive wall with drones. They see something move then swarm.

Why can't they just continue this wall forward and use them on an attack? fill an area with drones. Kill anything that moves, move the defense wall of drones forward? Constant wave oof pressure similar to what Russia does with people.

I see this as the next move.

Because there are practical limitations to how far the wall of drones can move from their operators and remain responsive to enemy movements and also jamming by Russians can degrade their effectiveness. The Russians also have drones and can employ a similar strategy to block any Ukranian advances.

They are doing that in some areas making small gains.
