Wars are just not fought that way, and to think that somehow ukraine has the ability to create a safe maintenance infrastructure in mid war is ridiculous. They can't even do that with leopard tanks. They have to haul this stuff back to germany/poland for repair.

So you recomend not to help? Or what else could we do?

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

Didn't say that. I think it's reasonable to assume that the military with the most experience in these weapons systems know what they're doing. They don't even have capable runways for F16s yet

I think what you're suggesting is that we should go to WAR WITH RUSSIA so that it's a lot easier to repair F16s with more direct NATO equipment and infrastructure

Hauling back to Poland or Germany is simply more convenient : Russia can't bomb those countries, and they already have the people to fix the tanks there.

It's not for now, it's for later.

Ukraine has to start swirling over to NATO weapons platforms, so they have to start somewhere.
