over the years and listening to Putin speak I always thought he was a smart guy.
The invasion of Ukraine and the piss poor planning that has gone into the special military operation has turned Putin's world FUBAR as Sweden and Finland are now becoming part of NATO. His two weeks to install a puppet in Kiev was a major misstep by his planners and military establishment.
I was also told that Ukraine will indeed be getting F-16s from several NATO countries as they purchase F-35s.. The F-16 radar and missiles can lock on and kill a target at some 125 miles whereby most of the Russian air assets can do the same only at 75 miles.
Air dominance has been a key to winning later day wars.... I have been surprised Ukraine has done as well as they have with what little they have airwise. Now the question becomes how soon can the training be completed and the F-16s delivered. I hope the F-16s are not hanger queens and junk hand me downs. I have heard all kinda numbers from a few F-16s to upwards of 200 planned deliveries ?

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
Silence those who disagree and you will never realize you are wrong.
No one rules if no one obeys
