U.S. lawmakers worry want Ukrainian pilots learn to fly the F-16. Romania offers a case study for how that could go.

Thing is, Romanian MiG-21's went through several modernizations with western equipment, weapons and had been using them for a while. The most UAF planes got since they were built by the USSR was a new coat of paint, outside of the single Su-27UP2M prototype

In the article the Romanian pilot admits that it has taken a decade and they are still struggling 8 years after receiving the F-16s :oops:

Zelensky dispensed with the propaganda.
As of today, the order of the Ukrainian command came into force in Ukraine that prohibits any work of civilian reporters with military units, wrote Ukrainian journalist Ruslan Smeshchuk.

Sorry!!!

They have to do something, anything really. Here in the west alot of people have gone from unconditional support of Ukraine, to quickly growing number of people becoming weary of dumping unlimited billions into the corrupt cesspool while our own problems burn out of control.

Winter is just around the corner. Static defensive positions are ok when you have tree cover to shield you from detection. Those forests are going to become bare in a few short weeks providing nearly zero camouflage.

The RuAF is going to have a field day once the leaves fall.

I think at this stage kamikaze attacks is the only card left to play because this winter is going to be rough for Ukraine. What else can they do?
The rasputitsa (

) will hamper both sides, making the offensive and logistics very difficult and this played a significant role in the Russians' big problems at the beginning of the war. But even then it plays a static front less. On the other hand, with bad weather, aviation sees its capabilities reduced which gives the Ukrainians an advantage, it also reduces the capabilities of drones in general.
