Mig transfer is dead until further notice.
Looks like the US doesn't want to take the risk themselves.
Only if the Polish and the other Mig users do it.
Shocking and unexpected, I know.

Malyshev Plant in Kharkov, home of the T-80 is destroyed.
Wow, it is pretty undeniable that they were really hoping Poland would be canon fodder (too) ...
The WW3's version of 'Pass the Hot Potato'.
Now that's what I call de-escalation! I don't know why all this is being played out on twitter and not behind closed doorsI'm getting so much second hand embarrassment from it. In the cold war the Americans knew it was a bad idea to do your laundry in pubic. Still, its fun watching the drama unfold live and not from a book about it in 20 years.
I wonder if the Americans threatened Poland with expulsion from NATO and all current and future US military programmes if they try pulling off another stunt like this? From the wording of that statement I suspect they did.
As I wrote, nothing in here contradicts Finnish NATO membership.
NATO is a defense pact (on paper at least) and not in armed aggression against Russia.
And the treaty would for sure have been brought up already if either the finns or the russians thought it'd matter.
But we are discussing semantics now...and very off-topic.
I provided links to two matter-of-fact articles, just read them.
Putin is not suicidal.
Its the west that's suicidal by moving nearer and nearer to the bears den. He is just protecting his baby bears.
Why can't usa just stay home? Nobody can threaten them. The moment cuba have missile, usa act so why not Russia.
Downed UAV and amoured train.
Wrekage of Soviet era UAV. Looks like someone was about to take a piece home. A windfall.
Russia sent amoured train to escort the civilian train evacuating civilian by railway from Kherson to Armiansk in Crimea.

Later confirmed by TASS and Zvezda:

See, you write this excellent, hard-hitting sentence and then immediately undermine it with the next sentence. Don't pull your punches.
Russia bombed another... let me consult my NYT manual here...
Finland's potential NATO membership contradicts everything in the 1992 Treaty on Finland's obligation to Russia and vice versa.
Since we're on the legality of the matter, and yes it's getting OT unless you want to argue Russo-Finnish relations are related to the war, which it actually is, those pieces you've linked to are nothing more than commentaries and rhetoric that has no legal bearing on the actual legality that governs Finnish and Russian relations at the state level, which is to be expected since these are written by political commentators at best, journalists at worst, certainly not by legal experts.
Finland isn't treaty-bound by the TEU to participate in mutual defence due to her neutral status. If she chooses to forsake her neutrality and join NATO it will be a political and practical decision, not a legal one no matter how the politicians would have you believe.
And by joining NATO Finland risks running afoul of the 1992 Treaty with Russia as Finland is indeed treaty-bound to remain neutral vis-a-vis Russia, and as such it gives grounds for Russia to treat her legal and political relationship with Finland as defined by the Treaty as void.
It therefore provides ammo for Russia to have a legitimate ground to cease being neutral to Finland, as Finland is no longer neutral to Russia.
