One thing about what is happening within the last day: Ukraine needs a bigger air force and more anti-aircraft SAMs.
On the former, it took us and the Dutch a year to train 12 pilots, the ground crew to support 12 aircraft, and one of those aircraft was already shot down. Russia has about 200 aircraft. See the problem?
There are also supply constraints and funding issues getting more surface to air missiles for HIMAR and Patriot systems.
The US has already greenlighted using ATACMS to target any facility used to attack Ukraine, including airfields.
Zelensky's complaint is if they use ATACMS to fire on an airfield that attacks them only, then Russia will just move the rest of their aircraft to airfields further away and out of range.
@Lulz4l1f3 They also need permission to use foreign supplied arms on any target in Russia.
