Couldn't they get any finer resolution out of their printer?! That looks like it was rendered by an Atari 800.

Indeed. IMO, Ukraine would be better off painting their MiGs in bright high-visibility schemes to prevent friendly fire. SAM and AAM seekers don't care what colour you are, so camo is less necessary. Apparently this high viz is now seeing combat.
Ukraine Paints Refurbished Frontline MiG-29 In High-Visibility Scheme
The flamboyantly painted MiG-29 Fulcrum recently returned to service, likely aided by new spares from Ukraine's NATO supporters.

I am reminded of the movie Final Countdown for some reason.

A fair point. As far as the RAF is concerned the Tranche 1 aircraft are not front line issue and are mainly used as the opposition in training exercises, with a final withdrawal from use of 2025. So if push came to shove I think they could be spared"in the process of retiring" may be a lot of time, even several years
Sweden donates Gripen fighters to Ukraine, but not until 2027
Stockholm could agree to Prague providing 14 JAS 39 fighters to Kyiv free of charge [12 units of the single-seat JAS 39C and two units of the two-seat JAS 39D].bulgarianmilitary.com
Specially if you have to cover your neighbor
BREAKING: Slovakia donates its MiG-29 Fulcrum to Ukraine
Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger announced today that he will donate 12 MiG-29 fighters and 30 T-72 tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. https://twitter.cwww.aviacionline.com
What is cool about HIMARS is that those 6 x 227mm pods can be distributed for temporary storage in different places, right on the ground. According to some videos, they are hidden in bushes and among the trees. The launcher uses the pod, leaves the place, drops it empty somewhere, picks up another one and proceeds to another location for the next launch. No ammo dump is required, in summer weather at least.
That would be something but I suspect it will have to wait. Until then, how about this:

Is anyone having technical problems with this thread? I've tried about a dozen times but the forum locks up on me each time I click on to page 423, post 8454. If I go to any other thread there's no problem. I'm posting this to see if I can get past it.

I seem to be past the problem. Putler really doesn't want me to see that tweet.

Back to my earlier post. UAF has underwater "vehicles". Presumably any Russian vessel at port could be struck.Time for some frogmen and limpet mines I'd say. The Ukrainian navy must have a scuba section, but I don't see it Ukrainian Navy - Wikipedia. They did train with the SEALS, US Navy SEALs are training with Ukrainian special operations forces
What's available for mines?

Ukrainian Navy Special Forces Spearhead Daring Snake Island Mission - Naval News
Snake Island is a strategic rock in the northern Black Sea. Russia captured it in the opening hours of the Ukraine Invasion, but recently retreated after sustained Ukrainian attack. Now the Ukrainian flag is flying there. And the story of how it got there is emerging.
