They will also be gathering more valuable Intel on operational S-300/400 systems. Each time they go airborn the Russian systems will come up and be recorded.

If 0bama had any balls, he would have ordered a REFORGER, asked where the carriers were, and went to DEFCON 4 (or whatever they call it now). Ivan understands that language.

I don’t think so. Poland doesn’t have much militarily.

Poland has been using F-16s for years. This is nothing more than appeasement by Obama....kinda like a pretend missile shield.
To: Sacajaweau
But they’d have home field advantage. Russian troops for the most part, especially the conscripts are not high quality.
Plus Poles have had experience in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Germans have already sent aircraft and ground crews to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia; they are also sending ships to the Baltic.

They're short n aircraft, but have about 1000 tanks, including about 200 Leopards with the rest being T72's refitted with NATO 105mm guns, laser sights, etc.. And a few thousand APC's (also refitted).
They're weak on air forces and navy.

What if the President had placed the U.S. on an elevated defense level, and sent troops and planes to the Ukraine at the first hint of Soviet designs? That’s what Reagan would have done.
