As awesome as the Mig29s are if they actually get into Ukraine, I don't think it is the game changer that some think it will be. There is anti aircraft shit EVERYWHERE there now for both sides. Them pilots will be on suicide missions. If those Migs are operated any different than the models Ukraine flies (I think they are), I hope those remaining Ukrainian pilots were already training in Poland during this delay.  I hope they can make a couple of runs and take out the highest value targets they can find.  I just don't see how they will be able to survive long considering the amount of Russian SAM sites peppered all over, and the amount of friendly fire they are going to encounter.  

It's also going to be hard to find somewhere to base them, fuel them, maintenance them, and rearm them.

Many more drones would be more beneficial in my opinion.

My understanding is Ukraine wants Mig-29’s because they’re already trained on them. Besides Poland, what other NATO countries have operational Mig-29’s and are pro-Ukraine?

I'm with you on this being it's a contested airspace with so many different types of MANPADS. Armed drones would do a lot too. If we really wanted to protect the airspace we'd need to get our F35's and F-22's in the game and club some baby harp seals. If not anything on the deck is going to be targeted by EVERYONE'S MANPADS/AA systems.

Some NATO countries were pressured by some other NATO countries not to provide combat aircraft.  Hat pressure seems to have been removed.

MANPADS have a ceiling of between 10,000 and 15,000 feet, and they lose effectiveness the higher the plane is. Anything flying above that needs to either be targeted by air defenses that use non-man portable anti-aircraft missiles, aircraft or radar guided flak.

We've seen captured SA-22s in Ukraine.  They can't fly high enough to avoid those.  IF they know where all the big guns are, that would change things. Poland should have smart munitions that will allow them to stay out of range if they know where everything is.

That's a very narrow view of the situation... sanctions cause the people to look at their government critically and  ask then if they are making good choices. If they are, great. If not, maybe the people will want a new government that isn't killing civilians and being the aggressor.

The bigger takeaway is, they planned on being done in 3 days. What makes you think they can sustain for 4 months? I don't see 6 weeks.

I thought that Russia was stockpiling blood before the invasion because they expected so many casualties. Which is it? This is like all the commentators saying that the Russian airforce isn't a threat, but also screaming for NATO to come with air defense.

I'm seeing Tet Offensive-tier media manipulation on every aspect of this conflict, but the reality is that despite eight years of NATO money and training, NATO providing intelligence on Russian movements, and most likely NATO commanders serving as "advisors"...by day three of the invasion the Ukrainian president was talking about civilians throwing themselves at tanks.

A battery is 6 guns. The camera dude didn't focus on them enough but it looks like there's 10-12 guns there. There's 18 guns in a battalion. There's a battalion attached to some motor rifle regiments and some tank regiments. What that could be is the majority, or the entirety if it was short, of artillery support for a regiment.
