Given it first flew a quarter of a century ago is the F-22 still the world's best air superiority fighter?
Sending the F35 makes way more sense than the F22.
IndeedAt this moment and time…
Was I the only one who heard ominous music?At this moment and time…
Where are the F-22s?
But now they are, where's the Russian army's heavier response?The Ukrainians weren't supposed to fight back. Plan meets reality.
Real or photoshop?!!! Ukraine's Interior ministry asked residents to take down street signs in order to confuse oncoming Russian troops. The state road-signs agency went one step further. (Roughly: all directions are to "go fuck yourselves")

Honestly, why is it taking the Russians to long to roll over the small Ukrainian army? This was supposed to be the army we'd fear would roll over Europe. I have to think that a full on invasion was never part of the plan.
Maybe good to point out that there is a difference between the current Russian army and the Soviet army of the 1980's.But now they are, where's the Russian army's heavier response?
if nothing else, this conflict is clearly shattering many of the myths that have been built about Russian military advantage. At every level, the Russians have punched well beneath their weight so to speak. Their strategic assumptions (Ukraine won't fight, Europe won't react) have been utterly dispelled.
