The United States refused to support the idea of ​​Poland to supply Soviet military aircraft to Ukraine

44

On March 9, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, in a conversation with Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak, said that the United States opposes the transfer of Polish Soviet-made MiG-29 aircraft to the Ukrainian side and is not going to participate in this undertaking if it does take place. John Kirby, a spokesman for the US military department, spoke about the position of the Pentagon chief.

According to Minister Austin, the United States does not want Poland's warplanes to be on their support. Earlier, Warsaw said that the United States could arrange the delivery of aircraft from Poland to Ukraine. At the same time, Poland wanted to receive used American-made aircraft from the United States in return.



According to Pentagon spokesman Kirby, the transfer of aircraft will not change the current balance of power in Ukraine. A more effective step, according to the US military, could be the transfer of air defense assets to Ukraine.

In addition, the United States fears a possible reaction of Russia to the transfer of aircraft. Meanwhile, Bulgarian propagandist Hristo Grozev said that the chances of handing over to Ukraine weapons, with which a country can close its skies, is 90%, while NATO forces can only expect airspace to be closed with a 40% probability. Grozev believes that it is necessary to ensure a no-fly zone over Ukraine, and for this it is worth mobilizing the public around the world. As usual in such cases, the "whole world" refers to the group of the US and its satellites.

    In principle, Poland itself can generate such ideas, but they clearly received a go-ahead from the owner for the voice acting of this. So that under the guise of "old Polish aviation", NATO planes did not work there "on the sly". I hope ours take this option into account too.

        The United States is generally lazy, or insolent, they themselves do not want to knock a finger on a finger. Izh bar what. laughing
        But in fact, they just wanted to tie Poland to war, and they perfectly understand that there is practically zero sense from those planes, fuss is more and more expensive. Ukraine has not yet used up all of its aircraft; they have overtaken the rest to Romania, according to reports.

          . He also explained: “By the beginning of the special operation, the Ukrainian armed forces had up to 250 serviceable combat aircraft and helicopters.

          The Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed 89 combat aircraft and 57 helicopters on the ground and in the air. Part of the Ukrainian aircraft flew to Romania and does not participate in the battles.

          https://argumenti.ru/army/2022/03/762917

          . Even in the best case, the Ukrainian Air Force will be able to put up only 125 front-line aircraft, of which 71 are fighters. 34 of them are twin-engine Su-27s. Their experienced pilots have the best chance of doing anything to counter the punitive bombings that will most likely precede a large-scale Russian invasion of the Donbass.

          The best of the supersonic Su-27s and the best pilots are combined into one brigade of two squadrons. It is based in Mirgorod in north-central Ukraine, east of the Dnieper, which cuts the country from north to south.

          If the Su-27s of the 831st Tactical Aviation Brigade soar towards Russian aircraft, this will be a sure sign that the Ukrainian Air Force, which missed the campaign in Donbass after heavy losses in 2015, intends to fight again.

          The Kiev Su-27s, despite their advanced age, are still among the most powerful interceptors in the region. But this by no means guarantees that they will hold out against the Russians for a long time.

          Ukrainian twin-engine attack aircraft Su-25 will collapse even faster. In a brief and self-defeating air campaign against pro-Russian separatists in Donbass in 2014 and 2015, the Ukrainian Air Force lost as many as five slow Su-25s intended for close air support of ground forces.

          The losses highlighted the vulnerability of the Su-25. When the task is to fly into one of the most dangerous air spaces on the planet, neither a strong glider nor thick armor will save you.

          The Ukrainian Air Force has recovered many attack aircraft idle on the ground and currently operates about 31 Su-25s. All of them are concentrated in a brigade in Nikolaev on the Black Sea coast. Another dozen or so remain in storage.

          https://inosmi.ru/20220219/vooruzhenie-253076837.html

          From the 125 front-line aircraft, we subtract 89 destroyed and get 36 not destroyed. It looks like they are being held by the Armed Forces of Ukraine because of a possible invasion from Poland or Romania into the territory of Ukraine. No wonder the Romanian MiG-21 flew near the border with the Odessa region.

              If you haven't noticed in two weeks, the war is dragging on.
              Surrounding 4 cities located hundreds of kilometers apart: Kyiv, Kharkov, Nikolaev, Mariupol - with a grouping of 200 thousand, divided into 4 parts - is an unrealistic thing.
              The war will move into a positional phase.

                Do you have data on the size of the group? Have you taken into account the number of military formations of the L / DPR, the Russian Guard, Chechen units? Surrounded cities are blocked and not surrounded (there is a difference), there are not many troops needed there, provided that there is a timely build-up of forces and means from threatening directions. In addition, there are defense nodes where enemy forces are concentrated and they cannot interfere with the advance of troops. The storming of cities would have diverted much more forces and means, and given the desire to avoid civilian losses to the maximum, there is no longer a military operation going on, but something like an operation to free the hostages, which requires preparation and, therefore, time. Yes, there is a lot to discuss on the specifics of military operations, tactics, etc.
                My message was completely different, that stuffing Ukraine with weapons is like stuffing someone dying of cancer with painkillers and continuing his agony, with this analogy, the relatives of the patient (civilian population) also suffer, etc. And you know, at this stage, painkillers no longer help, they only prolong the agony, and no one will give painkillers in the form of aviation or nuclear weapons.
                I hope you understand my message too. hi

                  ---
                  It's good that you understand this difference. The city is blocked by several fortified areas of Russian troops.
                  Between each of the fortified areas there are tens of kilometers of distance.
                  Reinforcements are coming through these holes. And vice versa, sorties are made to the rear of the Russian troops.
                  Therefore, near Kharkov, for example - zero success.
                  Even though it's blocked. But not surrounded at all.
                  My message: the war is moving into a protracted positional stage.
                  Therefore, the supply of weapons may well reach the addressee.

To transfer something serious without "roads are a priori impossible now, and the roads are blocked. In principle, the most successful combination is to cover the reinforcements with purely artillery and aircraft without engaging in fire interaction with the enemy, so hardly anyone will dare to do this. What is there in Kharkov? A large grouping and assault are blocked there The city is apparently not ready yet, but the goal of isolating a serious grouping has been achieved, and now the capabilities of this group are being depleted and weakened.
                    I do not deny that the supply of weapons can, but rather reach the addressee, I ask WHY?

                      Then, neither Ukraine nor Russia will pull out a positional war.
                      Ukraine has a paralysis of the economy due to the blockade of cities.
                      Russia has a paralysis of industry and finance due to sanctions.
                      Both countries are approaching default.

We remember what the first Chechen war led to, which ended with a "diplomatic" truce, yes, yes, to the second Chechen war, there will be no more such mistake. Everything that the supply of additional weapons will lead to will only lead to greater sacrifices, and will not be able to significantly affect the timing. By the way, do you know the dates? Me not.

        the western cities of the former ukraine will simply be leveled for agricultural land.

        In vain you are so, we are not American barbarians, we love culture, history, architecture, painting .. Therefore, in 1945 Vienna was stormed with minimal artillery support. And Krakow was saved. We did not bomb Dresden, but the gallery was not only saved, but also restored and returned. While our Petrodvorets themselves were restoring (here what had to be restored, the list will be endless). We will save Lvov, again at the same price. Yes, we are fighting incorrectly from the point of view of "Europe" and "America", but soon those who spread rot in Europe to Russians, just because they are Russians, will, as in 1812, create a "bistro", admire the generosity and gentleness of the Russian soldier. And once again to be surprised: "We have done so much bad things to them, but they do not take revenge? Why?"

      Konstantin, just the whole point is that NATO does not have at least some serious amount of old Soviet aviation. And then there is ... That's why the psheks wanted to exchange their old planes for American ones. They would have overtaken them to Germany, and then: the States should supply them with f-16s in return (though they are also old but flying). And the states themselves must somehow bring this rubbish to mind and hand it over to the cocktails. Psheks get a double profit, because they themselves cannot fix it, but only write it off, and here you can also "renew" in return. And lick the overlord.
      Only now they ran into the wrong ones, the United States themselves will round up anyone for the sake of money.

    Most important quotes:


    On Tuesday, Poland said it was ready "immediately and free of charge" to transfer MiG-29 fighter jets in service with the country's air force, not to Ukraine, but to the US government. The Polish Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the planes should be sent to Germany at the Ramstein air base to decide on their future fate.




    The Poles were taught lectures from 1938, when they were put under the fist of the Germans and Russia by England. We wanted the Anglo-Axis one more time the same thing, we allies slyly told them Polaki, but let's fly the plane to GERMANY TO THE US RAMSTEIN BASE, and then you in the place calculate with the Russians where the planes come from and to whom !!!
