In reply to the discussion: Please help me understand something. WHY aren't we bombing that convoy? [View all]usonian
(9,803 posts)I read that the vehicles in the convoy are there mostly because they can't navigate the mud.
Ukraine pilots know how to fly Mig fighters, so the donations of such fighters are helping.
A B-52 or A-10 would be literally foreign to them.
If anyone is interested, there was a B-52 flyby in 2020.

A-10's (low altitude fighters) would have to deal with radar and possible SAM missiles (surface to air)
I trust that President Biden is doing everything possible, even though it seems frustrating to us.
The U.S. is sharing intelligence with Ukraine

And the economic sanctions against Russian oligarchs may have interesting ripple effects in the U.S. Watch certain campaign warchests collapse.
