***American fighter jets for UKR are beginning to come “ on the table”.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Apparently, they want to give them some of our A-10 Warthogs... this would also give the Air Force brass a way out as they have been trying to get rid of the A-10 for years (it wasn’t shiny enough or fast enough).

The word, as you said, was US
off loading the obsolete.
UKR want and asked for F15’s.
I say, just send them Kamala and Biden. 😊
See Pelosi do Taiwan and Newsom looking comfy strolling outside the Oval Office, appearing as if unescorted.
What’s the message on these two? Kamala is finally getting attention.
So how is a low flying jet with a big heat signature match up against the S-400 Missile System.....(not too well...Titanium bath tub notwithstanding)
The S-400 is designed to engage aircraft, UAV’s, cruise missiles and includes terminal ballistic missile defense capabilities.
The S-400 supports four different missiles: the very long range 40N6E-series (400 km), the long range 48N6 (250 km), the 9M96e2 (120 km) and the short range 9m96e (40 km)
The 9M96E2 flies at Mach 15 (around 5,000 meters per second or 18,500 kph) and can engage targets as low as five meters off the ground.
It can also pull up to 20 Gs (for perspective, a human can withstand no more than 9 Gs with special pressure suits and helmets and for only a few seconds).
It is designed to knock out penetrating aircraft and missiles flying “off thedeck” or just above ground and neutralize cruise missiles
