Now that Ukraine is finally getting the tanks it wants, it's already looking for the next big thing — fighter jets

Ukraine is finally getting the Western-made tanks that it wants, but there's still a few big items on its wishlist. Kyiv says the next thing it wants is fighter jets.

"We have new tasks ahead: Western-type fighter jets, sanctions, Peace Formula implementation," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said after Germany announced on Wednesday it would send Leopard 2 main battle tanks, a decision that followed weeks of mounting pressure by European countries.

Yuriy Sak, an advisor to the Ukrainian defense minister, concurred, telling Reuters that "the next big hurdle will now be the fighter jets." Some others, however, have pointed to long-range missiles.

I sense anger.

I didnt accuse you specifically of anything.

But if the shoe fits, wear it.

This is true, but I really do not think most people have a clue what war is. They think it's a video game

No idea of the horrors

No idea of the causes

No idea that they are being suckers for believing the lies they are being fed

“I AM anti-Bidens war”

War started in 2014 when Putin sent Ghirken and the little green men into Ukraine.

Russia has fought this war in a very limited fashion so far.

Trump’s new statement about it means he knows escalation is coming and he’s positioning himself for the media/Euro/Canada wailing that will come with that escalation.

Trump has been proving the collusion accusers correctly as he seems to be Putins b*tch by refusing to call on Russia to withdraw.

Even Carter stood up to the Russia better than Trump.

Glad Reagan isnt around to see this.

I will take that as a retraction and apology

thank you

you are making progress without even seeing your fellow soldier blown to bits in front of you and have the bone fragments enter your body like shrapnel, no smoldering burnt bodies, no fields of stinking rotten corpses, no leveled cities and no children with missing parts laying in a pile

its all just a 5 second shot of a pile of rubble on Fox News and a reception for Zelenski with Biden, your "HEROES"

Yes War is hell.

But there are things worse than War.

Ukrainians know this. We seemed to have forgotten it.

“Right, because you are irrelevant”

And so are the Putler kneepadders predictions of imminent Russian victory and Ukrainian collapse.

The hysterica are coming from those who day in and day out
proclaim Ukraines defeat is just around the corner:

“the gloves are coming off! (until it got too cold)

“Winter Offensive: 500K troops! by Dec 19!”

“The long awaited offensive has begun!” (yesterdays hysterics)

Look for Z two leave in two weeks!

Ukrainians and europeans are going to freeze!

Ukrainians and europeans are going to starve!

Ukrainians in a caldron!

Bahkmut has fallen!

its over!

“Khereson will never fall”!

don’t these things require maintenance and training?

Nope. With Uke pilots, they'll only be used once. Take offs and landings hit hardest.

Right, and changed back with no big ramp up in financing.

I will say, there might be some initial expenditures to get
things under control initially, but not anywhere near what
we are helping the Ukraine with.

The nice thing about the Ukraine, is that we have supplied
the weapons, and it’s their sons dying defending their own
nation. We are not losing our citizens over it.

Preferable to a WWIII level operations? Ah yeah.

Thanks for the nice reply.
