Bulgaria backs out.

So maybe Poland and Slovakia donating jets.

Where in Ukraine will these planes be able to land and refuel?

Does anyone know the Home Base these aircraft will operate out of? I’m assuming that will not be in Ukraine.

Ukraine is still operation planes today. So same location for new planes.

That’s good news indeed. Hope they’re fast learners. I understand NATO members have installed significant upgrades.

Sounds like they took a road trip. Kyiv to Warsaw is about a 9 hr drive. It’s a long border to slip through.

The pilots don’t know that is required. You better get an urgent message to them.

Bulgaria’s MiGs might not be combat capable. They’ve had maintenance problems for much of the past decade.

Another issue is that Bulgaria has F-16s on order but they don’t have anything to replace their MiGs with.

Russia occupies very little of Ukraine. There are plenty of places for take-offs and landings. Map of Russian positions in red:

The 5 mile long convoy approaching Kiev. I’m surprised it hasn’t been stopped. Single column. Just blow up a couple of trucks and the road underneath.

I posted yesterday that the pilots would go to the planes. Multiple people tried to say that was nuts.

The MiG-29 is capable of rough field operation - it can literally launch and land on a highway, and not a big one. Fields and pastures too.

Ukraine has been in Afghanistan with our guys for years. I would imagine they came in green as grass but left fairly competent
