It would be useful to split Iran from Russia, and if a new nuclear deal could be arranged, that would be wonderful. The problem is that any deal made by this US administration would likely be abrogated if a different party wins in 2024. Rather obviously, this would make the US seem to be unreliable and untrustworthy.
I read a brief article that said the Czech Air Force will be flying protective missions for Slovakia. This is due to a delay in Slovakia receiving new aircraft (F-16s?. I forgot). Mention was made of Slovakia's MiG-29s going to Ukraine. Does anyone any further information on this?
If the MiGs are going to Ukraine, will they be complete aircraft or "parts" in kit form? If Ukraine is getting these planes in kit form, what color should they paint them?
Well, FWIW, the Russians agree with you.I read a brief article that said the Czech Air Force will be flying protective missions for Slovakia.

Canada announced at the NATO summit 39 brand new LAVs bound for Ukraine. See post 8302I wish Canada would act with Australia's alacrity. General Dynamics Canada produces the LAV 6, but so far we've sent none to Ukraine.
Nothing unites people more than a common enemy.The fact that we have one nation's air force flying cover for another country, each having split apart 30 years ago, says a lot about how Putin's misadventure has pulled NATO together. His threat is uniting nations even as he'd aimed to divide the alliance.
How's that working out for you?
Good, thanks. I wish we'd get moving though. At this rate the LAVs won't arrive in Poland until end of July by air or late August by sea, followed by some training, meaning they won't be deployed to the front in Ukraine until late September or early October. We should have sent existing CAF LAVs in April with plans to replenish CAF stocks from new production this summer.Canada announced at the NATO summit 39 brand new LAVs bound for Ukraine.

How about that. What I first read didn't have "military operation" in it. That, I would have remembered. RT might have been the source of the story, though. Wasn't RT an information source for Mr. Sprey's condemnation of the F-35?Well, FWIW, the Russians agree with you.
EU country cleared to donate MiG-29s to Ukraine
Slovakia can donate its Soviet-era MiG-29 warplanes to Ukraine after the Czech Republic agreed to cover its air defense needswww.rt.com
RT (Russian Times) is a great source for bullshit, so it's possible.Wasn't RT an information source for Mr. Sprey's condemnation of the F-35?
Nothing I say can add to this account:

WW2 German Puma
Ah, yes I agree.
Like to see some source for that, as the PzKfw 234's turret was originally intended for the VK16.02 Leopard - which was yet another name in the feline series.Not a Puma, an Sd.Kfz. 234/2. Puma was an imagination of some fancy postwar authors.
