While I think that’s dope it does feel like it gives Russia valid cause to strike them in host countries and kind of feels like a deliberate provocation to do so?

Russia doesn’t actually want NATO get involved so they wouldn’t strike the host nation.

Still waiting for the "F-16s delivered to Ukraine" headline instead of these useless stall articles showing off the mistake of not sending them 2 years ago >:(

Seriously they're guarding base block F-16s, but a whole fleet of F-15s for Israel is fine because money.

It's all about training. Pilots are one matter. Repair and maintenance crews are another. It's going to take time unfortunately. Money and logistics aren't the issue here though.
