I thought that everyone was saying that the training would take many months?

It was probably presold to one of Putin's mates
 
It looks like Ukraine needs to have paratroops to make a decisive hit behind the lines but unfortunately with modern antiaircraft systems that would probably be impossible

First send in the AGM-45 Shrike-armed Fulcrams, Flankers and Fencers, combined with hundreds of drones to detect, distract and destroy the Russian SAMs and air defence sensors. Then send in the Paras, ideally in several smaller aircraft along with decoys, rather than small numbers of larger aircraft.

Can the Frogfoot carry the AGM-45? What about assault gliders, like the Ilyushin Il-32? If made of wood, can they be detected? Of course the towing aircraft would be.
