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.

 
"in the process of retiring" may be a lot of time, even several years


Specially if you have to cover your neighbor

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
 
I agree. I doubt the Ukrainians and their well informed US/NATO advisors would consolidate their advanced weaponry into known locations.
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.
 
I am reading that the British and German air forces are in the process of retiring their tranch 1 Typhoons. I am confident that the Ukraine would welcome these with open arms and whilst they are not as capable as the tranch 2 and 3 aircraft, I would back them against any Mig 29 or Su30.
I think the total is about 70 aircraft which would make quite a difference
That would be something but I suspect it will have to wait. Until then, how about this:

like the The Nebelwerfers did
 
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?

Mines of the United States of America - NavWeaps
Back to my earlier post. UAF has underwater "vehicles". Presumably any Russian vessel at port could be struck.
