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.

From the article: "Should Western jets eventually make their way to Ukraine, it would mark the latest instance where Ukraine has asked the US and allies for weapons and, after some time, got what it requested. This pattern has been seen with rocket artillery, high-profile air defense systems, armored fighting vehicles, and, most recently, tanks."

It will never stop until US combat troops are on the ground and we are directly engaged warfare in Ukraine.

Modern equipment and planes without experienced well trained crews and pilots are a waste, IMHO.

And who is going to maintain them - and the M-1 tanks? These are high-strung machines and need hours of maintenance for every hour of operation.

Are we going to put boots on the ground in Ukraine?

At least they’re not hiding the fact it’s NATO versus Russia now.

I was told that Ukraine was kicking booty and Putin was on his death-bed.

Might as well give Ukraine the Pentagon while we're at it.

Might be an honest opinion..but it the absolute correct opinion.

They put these amateurs in those things without at least a years training in real time battle scenario’s, and they'll end up dead real quick and you and I and everyone else gets to pay for it.

“it’s time to zero in the nukes (if you’re Russia).”

I’ve said it before, any nuclear armed country who is about to lose a war on their own soil will use their nukes, tactical at a minimum. Hopefully this will stay mostly on the Ukraine side.

We know Zalensky will get them when he announces the next big LBGTQWTF “right.” He knows how to play the modern west LGBTQWTF obsessed leaders.

"And who is going to fly these fighter jets?"

Some of the number of servicemen who have gone AWOL the last couple of years? It's almost like the whole damned thing has been planned...
