Ukraine War Thread Part 2
Because an aircraft hit by a Patriot missile is no longer there to be hit by another?
It made and makes sense. A major i/c a wing [half a battalion] tasked in detail to proceed post-haste from A to B but finding a lightly-guarded river crossing en-route is duty bound to seize it, and thus never arrive at B. His irate lt col is likely to be quickly calmed by the brigadier's praise.
Russian behaviour in combat suggests neglible room for initiative, whereas initiative, within the grand plan, is demanded by circumstances.
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Because it requires US authorization which Biden is refusing to provide….
The United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, and France have announced that they are now prepared to Create a Coalition of Countries that will begin the Training and Transfer of F-16 “Fighting Falcons” to Ukraine, however they have all stated that while they will soon be prepared to Train Ukrainian Pilots they will not yet be able to give their own Inventory of F-16s to Ukraine.
