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.

I would be shocked if Russia did, the west has been pretty limited with allowing Ukrainian strikes with western systems on Russia even to this day. Like it or not I don't think they would attempt to strike another country because they are scared of relatiation.

I would be happy to be wrong, because if they do I think the west would join the war or allow Ukraine more Freedom with their systems. Either way the net outcome is Russians still loosing the long game, like they currently are

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 >:(

spoilerSeriously 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.

Recipe for disaster...

Surely this wunderwaffe will be the one to turn the tides of the war, and ensure the success of the Mariupol counteroffensive!
