1. Ukraine needs more air power if it is to recover its coast line
I hope the issue of MiG-29s will be revisited.

4. An interesting article the other day from the Daily KOS about MIG-29's

The official explanation is that western allies sent “spare parts” to repair MiGs destroyed during Russia’s initial bombardment of Ukrainian airfields wink-wink. Between Poland, Bulgaria, and Slovakia, there were 55 potential MiG-29s for Ukraine, though many of those were reportedly not in airworthy condition. Would be nothing to disassemble them into “spare parts” to reassemble back in Ukraine. In fact, I’d bet on it. " "One last bit of circumstantial evidence—when was the last time Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or anyone else begged the West for MiG-29s? In fact, the last few weeks have all been about MLRS, MLRS, MLRS. Odds are good allies have emptied their stocks of Soviet-era aircraft for Ukraine, so it can now focus on other needs." |

7. Except that ones that could reach into Russia
Could also be based far from the Donbas and strike targets inside Ukraine.
Meanwhile, some of the armaments sent could already strike into Russia if placed close to the border. |
