I don't see Bulgaria giving up their MiG-29s, as these are their only front line fighters until they receive F-16s.

omg guys, this is pure gold!!
A Russian Navy ship is requesting fuel from a Georgian Navy refueler and the Georgians aren't giving it up!
* there is some cuss words, so beware *
** By the way, at the end of the video, the First Officer's comments didn't get captioned. **
What he said, was:
Glory to the heroes!
Glory to Ukraine!

I haves questions.
So the only Fulcrums are Slovak, Polish and Bulgarian. Not Serb obviously.
The Poles can give up their Fulcrums but Slovakia and Bulgaria don't have any other fighter. Plus Bulgaria has Frogfoots but from what I've read Bulgaria are not playing.
So the question is what has happened to the Ukrainian fighters? Is any operational? Does Ukraine have the pilots? Where are these new Fulcrums going and is it worth it against the latest Flankers? I have no idea.
If the Slovaks give up their fighters I would have to assume they are getting back something. Maybe NATO fighters based there until F-16 became operational.

That's a neat "greatest hits" compilation.

Hey...to lighten the mood a little, I just realized that I have the same number of "Liked" reactions as posts on the forum.
Does that make me an "influencer"?
Anybody want to see what I had for breakfast?
Or I could don a mankini and video myself doing yoga. Yoga seems to works for the Rybka twins so why not me?

Perfectly in accord with the linked article earlier about targeting Russian logistics given their limitations.

Good advertising for Turkey's Bayraktar TB2 UAVs. Wonder if they'll see an increase in orders?

My guess is these aircraft have already integrated a NATO IFF system or they would have one that is compatible with one already being operated by the UAF. J P C would know.

Bulgaria joined NATO in 2004. No way the Russians strike there. Might as well bomb Manhattan.

Tu-160s could pull it off, I bet, but it would be a pinprick without nukes. And I bet they're sitting on nuke alert per Putin's recent order.

Slovakia is surrounded by NATO nations that will provide mutual aid and protection, Bulgaria is in a key front location and while they welcome NATO assistance, they are adamant about maintaining their own security foremost.
Even if the U.S. bumped up the F-16 delivery timetable, there is still training and work up time.
The Bulgarian Air Force, in their MiG-29s, have an advantage of familiarity, so best let them remain there, where they can do the most good.

I hope to wake up tomorrow and find Kyiv still standing, and the Russian horde was again repelled. I'm very concerned though. That convoy should have been hit before reaching the city.
My thoughts are with everyone there. The world stands with you!

For sure it can be done, but it won't be. Once Putin hits a NATO member we're all in.

They've got a Ju390 on hot pad status.
And likely all out too…
