Delivery from sea will need Turkish approval; that's uncertain.
Whose airplanes would do the airdrops in your scenario? Do the Ukrainians have the lift-capacity?

It's the poor chaps surrounded and besieged in in Mariupol that need weapons and reinforcements. Some sort of parachute drop or delivery from the sea?
Ukrainian troops in Mariupol are taking ammo off Russian soldiers and smuggling in weapons to hold out against the assault
There has been "continuous heavy shelling" in the port city since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.news.yahoo.com
According to Artical 19 of the Montreaux Convention, non-warring (neutral nation) ships are allowed passage.Delivery from sea will need Turkish approval; that's uncertain.

That's actually just a rerelease of the Bismark 1942 kit. Some of these companies are getting lazy.View attachment 664794
Revell already issued update for their kit
That could be very handy.According to Artical 19 of the Montreaux Convention, non-warring (neutral nation) ships are allowed passage.
So any ship (including warship), that does not belong to a warring nation in the region, is allowed passage.

The fine print on these treaties/conventions can make a person's eyes glaze over!Doing a bit more reading on it, thanks for the kick in the ass.

That is interesting. A US nuclear carrier and it's attendant ships could then go to a Ukrainian port to offer humanitarian aid in the form
of electricity generation, water supply (desalination), and emergency medical / airlift services without contravening any international
laws. One way to get in there without a no fly zone.
Nope, a British Frigate, Japanese Carrier or U.S. destroyer can transit the straights without issue.I'm pretty sure the Convention bars such warships as large.
And the Bosphorus.Article 19 of the Montreaux Convention regulates the passage of the Dardanelles straits, how is this supposed to help the beleaguered Ukrainian troops in Mariupol?

It's not what Turkey deems, as the convention defines who/what can pass.That's probably correct but it depends on what Turkey sees as reasonable too. Not that I think it would happen as the US navy wouldn't be keen
on the idea.
I didn't know about the clause being there though as I thought it just meant that Turkey was denying access either way to all shipping. This certainly
leaves room for at least food and medical aid to get to Ukraine in larger amounts.
I know, that is also what I said - but how is this supposed to help those beleaguered Ukrainians in Mariupol?And the Bosphorus.
The conversation is about Artical 19 and who can come and go.
