Ukrainian pilots are reportedly in Poland picking up MiG-29 fighters and Su-25 ground-attack aircraft; a total of 70 planes. The Su-25 (NATO reporting name "Frogfoot") is broadly equivalent to the A-10 in its role, close in air support and anti-armor ("tank busting").

This is a major step past Javelins and Stingers. The report comes from Politico, who was informed by Ukrainian diplomatic sources, so take that as you will.

@formica Thank you!! Thank Render, too. I was looking to see when aircraft would get into action.

The Ukrainian Air Force has been keeping Russia from controlling the skies for almost a week now.

You didn't imagine they were doing that without any aircraft, did you?

@mcfate @formica 🧐. Somehow, I did! D’oh. That’s why I was getting so worried about the convoys of tanks and other weapons. Thankful for the pilots and ground crews.

That convoy's running out of gas and food.

Maybe they can DRAG some tanks another 25 klicks.
