Poland gives all its MIG-29 planes to the US at Ramstein. Now we'll send them to Ukraine.

The authorities of the Republic of Poland, after consultations between the President and the Goverment, are ready to deploy – immediately and free of charge – all their MIG-29 jets to the Rammstein Air Base and place them at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America.

At the same time, Poland requests the United States to provide us with used aircraft with corresponding operational capabilities. Poland is ready to immediately establish the conditions of purchase of the planes.

The Polish Government also requests other NATO Allies – owners of MIG-29 jets – to act in the same vein.

3. That's a start

Now we have to transport them and it seems over or through Poland is not an option.

7. And looks like it's a problem

Germans basically saying WTF and US saying they can’t be moved to Ukraine from there.

Let’s try Moldova. They are neutral and actually have unwanted Russian contractors in their territory who fired missiles into Ukraine.

5. Maybe lease a strip of land along the border of Ukraine to takeoff and land and ...

warn Putin that an attack on Polish lands will be an act of war.

Just a fantasy. Please don't incinerate me.

6. Woohoo. This will help stop the bombing. The Biden admin...

is getting things done.

8. Germany and US may not be cool to this.

Instead of transferring the planes directly to Ukraine, the Poles are suggesting they be transferred to the US at a base located in Germany.

9. Not happening, apparently.

10. And the Pentagon has declined the offer . . .

. . . which I find utterly unconscionable!
