any MiGs they may get could make much of a difference - I tend to agree. Because Russia is mainly pounding them on the ground more than the air. Which is also why any NFZ wouldn't help them much either.

The conventional Russian forces are just so overwhelming and superior to anything Ukraine has. However, what the Ukrainians have is a national pride and burning hatred for Putin/Russia - which will cause them to fight back over time (with the help of the West feeding them weapons and intelligence).
