  1. Just think of how many would not be relocating, were it not for the White House’s abject terror of “escalation”

  2. >With 90% of the planes out of reach, striking deep inside Russia with ATACMS makes little strategic sense, the official claimed.

    “We saw no reason to permit you to strike then and we see even less reason now, now that russia managed to finally evac their planes as we gave it the time to”

    God I loathe escalation management.

  3. This was the goal and what Ukraine was trying to achieve. Pulling these planes (and helicopters) further back increases their response time. Thus giving Ukraine a lot more time to conduct activities and then skedaddle.

  4. > 90% of [Russian] planes out of reach, out of ATACMS range …..

    Interesting coincidence.
    Ukraine announced developing ballistic missiles.

    Russian airfields will be within attack reach.
    These are Ukrainian built missiles. NO restrictions on use.

    Costly to build, ~ $1M each, but worth it.
    Ballistic missiles are VERY hard to intercept, can carry a large warhead, and do great damage when they come down.

    Go get ’em!

  5. Oh Boy, now that we waited long enough for the aggressor to demolish half the country, terrorizing the civilians, issue a bunch of war crimes casually and moved the planes out of range, finally the ATACMS are incoming soon. I’d say 2 weeks…. It’s like toddlers with nukes, we are doomed

  6. Meanwhile certain administration is still “open” to this “considering” that “mulling” “deliberating”
