    There’s definitely versions of the mig-29 with air to ground capability.

    feel like Ukraine’s biggest problem soon is going to be qualified pilots to fly them

    like the Japanese late in ww2

    They’re coming from Poland and Bulgaria who are phasing them out, so hopefully they are gassed and set up for what they need the most right now

    Feels like the worst thing Russia could do right now is a heavy bombing campaign on civilian areas like Syria. NATO could make ukraine a no fly zone in a day.

    Definitely not encouraging for the people of Kyiv. Think IV is right and this means the Russians are gonna start indiscriminately bombing the fuck out of the city. Then send in the columns to take care of what’s left.

    Funny how vulnerable these Russian super yachts in Europe are now. Can’t imagine there’s much repercussion for this. Icing on the cake would be if the insurance companies could renege.

    I'm being overly optimistic but here's to hoping that they got intel they were marching that column into a trap and stopped to re-assess.

    The most important part of this act is they are hopefully aircraft that the Ukrainian pilots are familiar with. Learning to fly a new aircraft takes 100s of hours so if they are already familiar with its capability and how to beat use it, that’s when it becomes the most effective.

    did a bit of digging and there was about 7% deflation during the great depression, i.e. stuff got cheaper cuz everybody was cash strapped, which was more or less a global thing.

    Was with respect to the first part of your question. The ruble is gonna lose about 50% of value compared to usd and euro (the big hit to the rub is with trading tomorrow), you need a comparison base to ask that question for a currency

    I am wondering if Ukraine could give control of their TB2 drones to US pilots covertly to allow us to operate them with intel from Airborne early warning aircraft in the region. I mean technically it’s a drone and how could Russia tell that we were piloting them? I figure that would free up some Ukrainian people to focus on other things and allow us to leverage our intelligence platforms to do serious damage to Russians armor.
