Ukrainian analyst wondered if the supply of MiG-29 aircraft to the Armed Forces of Ukraine violates the taboo on the transfer of long-range weapons to Kyiv

The reluctance of Western countries to embark on the path of nuclear escalation with Russia leads to numerous taboos on the transfer of long-range weapons to Ukraine. weapons, Including aviation. Ukrainian analyst Bogdan Bernatsky wondered if the supply of MiG-29 aircraft to the Armed Forces of Ukraine violated the taboo on transferring long-range weapons to Kyiv. After all, as long as Kyiv does not have aviation and long-range missiles, it cannot attack objects in the Russian rear.

Bernatsky notes that by escalation, the West may mean, firstly, strikes against Ukrainian nuclear power plants, and secondly, the version of the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Ukraine is not excluded. Of course, in European countries they fear that the Russian leadership may go for a nuclear escalation. However, Bernatsky is trying to convince the Western public that this is not so, and Russia will not use nuclear weapons. Even China, which is Russia's closest ally, opposes such a development of events.

Accordingly, according to Bernatsky, it is necessary to transfer long-range weapons to Ukraine. This will allow for a more successful military strategy, the analyst emphasizes, noting, however, that long-range missiles or additional fighters will not become some kind of “wunderwaffe” in a conflict with Russia.

In addition, he allows for a strike on the Crimean bridge, followed by a panic on the Crimean peninsula. Bernatsky also hints at the possibility of strikes against military airfields in the depths of Russian territory.

The recently announced transfer of MiG-29s by Slovaks (13 fighters) and Poles (4 fighters) opens a new chapter of military assistance to Ukraine, Bernatsky believes. He calls this decision innovative and notes that after the transfer of these fighters, the turn of American F-16 aircraft may also come.

It should be noted that the Russian Federation regularly criticizes the sending of weapons and military equipment by Western countries to Ukraine, emphasizing that such actions only contribute to the escalation of the armed conflict and do not bring its settlement closer.

I agree with the first part of your comment, but I have doubts about the second part. You made one spelling mistake, but the content of the post is very good.

You are right - there are errors in the text! Well at least put a dot at the end.

They can still somehow serve the Soviet legacy of letaks, but with the Western "adjustment" the problem of engineering and equipment. And departures from airfields over the hill - the probability of arrivals, that's what the striped ones think about ...., otherwise they would have put it like that a long time ago.

It has been brought to the West that only Russia will decide who is a party to the conflict and who is not. Unlike the West, our president wants to achieve all the goals indicated at the end of 2021 without unleashing a third world war.

The fact of the matter is that the Russian side only criticizes, nothing more. It does not even impose sanctions on countries transferring Ukraine. The flow of goods is not limited, Trade goes to the maximum, covering it with slogans about taxes and so on. We fight with one hand, trade with the other. All are half measures.

It does not even impose sanctions on countries transferring Ukraine.

The problem is that with our sanctions we will do more harm to ourselves than to them. Therefore, they are not included. The range of our exports is quite narrow, there is practically nothing that cannot be replaced or bought around. We buy almost everything that we have blocked. Why make things difficult for yourself then?

[dementor873]

The problem is that we continue to buy and do not really think about replacing our analogues and developing production. Our oligarchs do not think about the prospect of at least 5 years, but they are waiting for the weather by the sea and then everything will be the same again. Resources go there - finished goods go there, and the difference is for villas in the West.

the West has no taboo, most analysts in the West are sure that the Russian Federation will not use nuclear weapons even in tactical execution
