That’s assuming Ukraine has enough qualified pilots to put the additional Migs to use.

That’s assuming they have the spare parts to keep the aging plane flying.

That’s assuming they have the fuel necessary to keep them flying.

That’s assuming they can evade the Russian Air Defenses.

Did you wonder why Russia has not pummeled Ukraine into submission with their Air Force and why Ukraine has done more damage with their Air Force ??

We had one report after another of the 40-mile long Russian Convoy outside of Kiev, what hasn’t Ukraine attacked it repeatedly ??

Neither side is attacking relentlessly because the Air Defenses on both sides are sufficient enough to discourage a major air campaign.

Ukraine has pilots standing by in Polsnd

These MiGs, and possibly the MiGs (and/or Su-25s) of Slovakia, Hungary, and Bulgaria could be better used against the Russian bombing assaults against Ukraine’s residential structures.

I’m less comfortable with Biden’s Pentagon...

Or, at Townhall.com, “After Afghanistan and calls with Biden whose transcript I’m sure reads like applesauce, we have other nations taking some matters in their own hands. It’s what happens when everyone sees a confused, frail, weak, and stupid president. We’re rudderless. No wonder why there’s a trust deficit emerging.”
