UKR forces are heroic, but they are a limited human resource and cannot sustain the fight forever. This war needs to be ended as soon as possible and that requires substantial air assets. It’s time the west stops pussyfooting around this. Certainly, considering the wealth and equippage of western air forces, there are available assets that can be provided now to the UKR. There’s no ground force commander within the western armies who would accept inadequate integrated air support, both for defensive and offensive operations. Why do we expect UKR to continue without it? UKR is fighting our battle, and if they fail it will be up to us to fight this evil murderous tyranny.
