Ezen nem is vitázom de ettől még ezen a téren is hatalmas "ugrás"a jelenleg Ukránok álltal használt Mig29,Su 27-esekhez képest(27-esről nagyon nem is osztanak meg mostanában semmit).Ezt a rekord meg nem lett megerősítve ettöl még valós lehet.

ugyanazt éri el, a pilcsik életének kockáztatása nélkül. És nem egy tucat demotivált arab ellen.
Azért nem teljesen.Ha így lenne nem lenne most semmilyen Ukrán offenzíva ha hasonló "pusztítást" vinne véghez az Ukrán szárazföldi haderőben mint a Koalíciós légierő sivatagi viharban az Iraki haderőben.
Még mindig nem demotivált arabok az ellenfél, és még mindig semmi relevanciája nincs, hogy a papucsosok ellen ki és mit ért el.
Jelenleg egy létszámában harmad akkora orosz haderő játszi könnyedséggel mészárolja le a támadó ukránokat.
És erős a gyanúm, hogy tavaly is ugyan ez volt a szitu, csak akkor az 5-szörös élőerőny fölény miatt, még éppen sikerült behúzni Harkovot.
Csak idén a leopardot meg a bradlyt már nem lehet eladni orosz veszteségként, így jobban látszik.
és persze lehet jönni azzal, hogy de az orosz erre képes, csak nem kéne elfelejteni, az orosz nem áll háborúban, nem rendelt el mozgósítást, és nem szerelt fel milliós hadsereget. Pedig képes lenne rá.
Azok a "lenézett" irakiak a közel kelet egyik legerősebb ha nem a legerősebb légvédelmével és szárazföldi haderejével rendelkeztek Kuvait lerohanásakor közel 10 év háborús tapasztalattal.Nem véletlen hogy közel fél évig tartott a felkészülés,tervezés a sivatagi viharra(2 repülőgép hordozó,1000+ harci gép stb).Véleményem szerint hasonló felkészüléssel,megfelelő erőkoncentrációval hamar lerendezhették volna az Ukránokat az Oroszok is.Hogy miért nem így törtðnt soha nem fogjuk megtudni.Ezt a játszi "könnyedséggel" való Ukránok lemészárlásat meg hasonlóan fentartásokkal kezelem mint az Ukránok álltal közölt Orosz veszteségeket.

Kuwait – F-18 Follow-On Technical Support
The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Kuwait to buy continuation of contractor engineering technical services and contractor maintenance services for an estimated cost of $1.8 billion. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.

This proposed sale will provide follow-on sustainment support to Kuwait’s F/A-18C/D/E/F aircraft. The estimated cost is $1.8 billion.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by helping to improve the security of a Major Non-NATO ally that has been an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
