Re: India buying Russian oil for $35/barrel. If I'm not mistaken, Russia can't produce much oil at all, especially now without the western oil company techs, correct?
While certainly not ideal, it seems like India buying their oil might not be totally a bad thing, provided Russia isn't able to replace what they're selling. Kind of like when the meth head sells a nice propane grill for $15.00. She's going to blow that $15.00 which isn't going to come anywhere near solving her problems anyway, plus now she doesn't have a grill either. She comes out poorer at the end. Selling oil for $35/barrel is an act of desperation. That money isn't anywhere near enough to buy them anything except maybe a tiny amount of time, and running out of fuel quicker may cancel that out. My guess is some oligarchs are pocketing that money and Russian .gov will see very little benefit from that sale. |

We should stop support operations for the (11) C-17's, (12) C-130's, (22) AH-64's, (15) Ch-47's, and (12) P-8's. They have more American aircraft, but stopping support for that alone would put a hurting on them. View Quote |

I'm all about selling shit and we do LMCO enough favors, but what the Poles were asking was *not* extortion; it was asking not to be left butt ass naked and to flapping in the wind if the US got weak kneed about their security guarantees. Which seems to be happening with disappointing regularity these days. |

No way one of those migs are worth a single F-16 Yes but Poland backed out because they couldn't get the deal they wanted which was fresh F-16's from USA for each MIG-29 to Ukraine. They defined fresh as low hours and newer versions. One needed to go to Polish media and translate to get that definition. US press didn't report on that specific that I've seen. State department said no. Then Poland tried to salvage the deal demanding that USA take direct delivery from them for free, but with the expectation that USA would provide the F-16s later. That fell through, and Poland kept the MIGs. They could have easily told Ukraine to send over pilots and fly them out. The USA originally approved the transfer this way. Probably because there was US tech installed and Poland needed permission. |

New post from the War Zone:
TWZ speaks practical realities, once again ETA: think about this. Training Ukrainian pilots now is "controversial" and "escalatory" (like everything else with the Russians). Ok, so what do we call it if, in a few months, the Ukrainians have lost complete control of their airspace and the only answer is to send NATO aircraft and pilots? Think that's escalatory?! I wish our political leadership could think more than a week ahead. 🤦🏻♂️ |

Edited:
responding to 6SJ7GT: I'm, uhh, well aware. ADS-B is the current thing that I, and I expect most of ARF, can see now. NATO and the rest of the world does the on and off drill also. The fact that Russia sent an important asset like that into that air corridor does mean something. And having the beacon on meant something also. But I don't know the answer. And while I am sure that US assets know when that platform launched and how much fuel it has consumed, I am not sure that the US knows for sure what the purpose and intended and hidden meaning of the flight was. |
