As the political West pledges more support for the Neo-Nazi junta, it’s making it increasingly difficult (if possible at all) to come to a peace settlement with Moscow. This undermines the emergence of a new security architecture in Europe.
Written by Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst
Air dominance is one of the key aspects of modern warfare, particularly for the political West and its numerous vassals and satellite states. At present, the Kiev regime is still not very reliant on such a doctrine as its dwindling stock of Soviet-era aircraft allows for very limited use of jets, particularly as Russian platforms, vastly superior in both numbers and capabilities, dominate the skies. Thus, the Neo-Nazi junta troops are forced to make do with what they have. The former USSR’s massive long-range ground-based air defenses somewhat offset this, as the Kiev regime inherited an enormous quantity of SAM (surface-to-air missile) systems, but this too is fading away as Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) hunt down the remaining air defenses.
In order to prevent this, NATO is moving toward fighter jet deliveries to Kiev as the very last step in conventional weapons supplies. The main issue with this has been the training of Ukrainian pilots to be able to fly NATO platforms, as the process normally takes years. Another important segment is that the pilots themselves are not too keen on transitioning to Western aircraft such as the F-16, for instance, which is much lighter and less capable than the Soviet-era Su-27 jets the Kiev regime forces have been flying. However, the chronic lack of spare parts and munitions for these jets is certainly making them less viable, even with the integration of Western weapons such as the AGM-88 HARM (High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile) and JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) bombs.
The issue could be partially sidestepped in the coming days and weeks as Slovakia and Poland are moving to send their legacy MiG-29 fighter jets. Warsaw seems to be closer to completing this than Bratislava, as its much larger defense sector already has plans to replace the Warsaw Pact-era aircraft with the F-35A and South Korean FA-50. On the other hand, Slovakia hopes to make a barter deal with the US, aiming to get F-16s for the delivery of its MiG-29s to Kiev. It remains to be seen how the Biden administration will respond to these requests. Poland is the likelier candidate for immediate deliveries, in part due to its larger fleet of MiG-29 jets, as well as the fact that most of these are still operational, unlike the Slovakian ones (officially retired in 2022).
On March 16, Polish President Andrzej Duda confirmed that at least four jets will be handed over to the Kiev regime “within the next few days”, which would mean that Polish deliveries have been greatly accelerated. Duda stressed that “the rest are being prepared, serviced”. CNN claims that the total number of MiG-29s to be transferred is between 11 and 19. As Poland officially operates up to 30 of these jets, it can be assumed that no more than 19 are in good enough condition to be delivered to the Neo-Nazi junta. Various reports indicate that the FA-50 light jets are due to be delivered to Poland from South Korea this summer, which would explain Warsaw’s readiness to accelerate the plan.
In addition, there’s a growing bipartisan initiative among the Washington DC warhawks, particularly Republican neoconservatives and Democrat neoliberals, to directly send F-16s to the Neo-Nazi junta. A recent report by Politico claims that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is “under increased pressure to send the jets”. The senators are adamant that “the F-16s are badly needed at this critical juncture to give the Ukrainians the edge they need”. The initiative, led by an Arizona Democrat, Senator Mark Kelly, is also supported by seven other senators from both parties. However, others, such as Republicans Tom Cotton and the infamous Lindsey Graham are insisting on “doing more”, with Cotton recently slamming the White House for “half measures” and calling for the delivery of cluster munitions.
The escalating rhetoric, as well as the resulting weapons shipments to Kiev are certainly making things worse. And while the Neo-Nazi junta cannot hope to achieve any meaningful results against Russian forces even with the delivery of MiG-29s, which can be integrated with relative ease considering that it still operates them, sending F-16s and other Western aircraft will require significant changes. It’s not only the issue of the Kiev regime running out of time for this, but also the fact that NATO will need to mobilize much of its resources to maintain an entirely Western-made fleet of aircraft in Ukraine, a monumental effort even in peacetime, let alone in the middle of a conflict with a military superpower defending its borders.
Another major point of contention is the supply of armor, particularly Western-style heavy tanks. Despite pompous announcements of “imminent deliveries” back in January, nothing came of it in the last two months. With only one whole battalion expected to be operational by the end of March, the Kiev regime will get no more than 60 tanks, a meager sum considering the fact that it’s losing hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles on a monthly basis. Several NATO and EU members are delaying their deliveries, while others are withdrawing from the plan, including the Netherlands, Denmark and Finland, citing bureaucratic procedures and their own defense needs, with Sweden waiting for its NATO membership bid to be approved by Turkey and Hungary.
As the political West pledges more support for the Neo-Nazi junta, it’s making it increasingly difficult (if possible at all) to come to a peace settlement with Moscow. This undermines the emergence of a new security architecture in Europe and by sending fighter jets, the US and NATO are raising the stakes even higher, making it virtually impossible to disengage, as Russia is bound to mobilize much (if not most) of its massive resources to ensure the success of the counteroffensive against NATO aggression in Europe. Political elites in Washington DC (and Brussels) are desperate to win somewhere after several consecutive defeats (particularly after Afghanistan), especially as the political West is running out of cohesion factors, with factionalism and unrest on the rise in both the EU and the US.
Every single weapon delivery to Kyiv is a step towards victory against the evil russian Nazis and war criminal Putin 👍
And a step toward annihilation, bankruptcy and depletiong of losses while the victories you achieve remain in fiction. The facts still remain that Russia hasn’t contributed significantly to this War as much as the west has been. Financially the west is in trouble. Militarily their stocks are drained. Their people are tired most EU nations are experiencing unrest now and eventually the US will too if the banks keep failing as they are. The West dug a hole and got stuck in it. Try to cope better
And there are several European national elections due this year, and the EU has elections next year.
Stfu Bozo 🤡
Symbolism ! a token gesture whilst 1000s die in futile conflict. Only way is via negotiation to end needless death and suffering. Ukraine needs to change direction. The ICC is a symbolism nothing else but to allow western powers to berate others, whilst not applying the rules to themselves. Feel free to wallow in your symbolism.🤡
These mad demons ordered to their lackeys in Haague to arrest Putin. Ha, what a morons! This is the point of no return, now we have no options except cleaning all nazist cocaine addicted filth and create common border with Poland. Or Germany. Or even France, if only it will survive, who knows. I won’t feel sorrow, if not. And then to flatten Haague with tanks.
Just nuke entire EU ,completely get rid of the faggots in one hit
EU fags out and US fags in. Bad idea. You must come up with another proposal.
United States is primed for another civil war, in 30 years the United States will no longer be an international military power.
Russia is proving you don’t need to have military bases in every country of the world to put up a fight to defend your nation.
Sorry, not all Europeans are faggots… only 90% of them (sarcasm)… However, God saved the righteous from Sodom and Gomorrah
You make a relevant observation re Sodom and Gomorrah, but I’d counter with the question – exactly how many made it out of Sodom and Gomorrah alive?
I’d suggest – way less than 10%. A literal handful, to be precise – you could count them on the fingers of one hand.
To be fair to you, IMO the idea that Western civilisation is the modern-day analog of Sodom and Gomorrah is on the money.
Your blood is hallal too.^ bozzo tha clowner.^🤡
Yeah I read that today, that’s the final act of desperation, that’s basically europe and NATO slamming the door on any further dialogue and pretending they have moral superiority when they haven’t.
Well, I really didn’t want war to happen, but it seems like these insane retards who are running the EU and the UK and the United States are desperate for it to start.
I do genuinely hope that such a stupid move sparks a civil war in the United States, that will put the brakes on any major war real fast.
American men need to respond to draft summons with bullets at politicians and officers.
And for what “crime”? Because he is trying to save children! Of all his ‘crimes’ this is the worst – according to NATO worms from this so called ‘court’: bombing Donetsk and killing children for 8 years by Maidanterrorists is *not* a crime, but saving children from Maidanterrorist bombs is a crime!
Washington degenerates and their puny EUnuch vassals: incredible idiocy mixed with incredible insanity but above all – incredible evil.
Indeed. I could add that hohols do the same with people of occupied Donbas, but in perverted form. Locals don’t want to leave their homes, and nazis take their kids for sending to western parts of the Ukraine under excuse of saving them from Russia. Parents won’t let their children go alone and moving “by own will”. Their homes become barracks or gun points of nazis. Previously they just threw people off their flats and put them in basements and attics as human shield while Russia gives money certificates for buying new home to all people of Cherson which left their homes + small sum of cash (~1500 in dollars). It’s not enough to buy a flat or a house in big city, but enough for smaller cities. Inhabitants of ruined building in Mariupol’ and other cities have new homes for free. 40 thousand workers are restoring Mariupol’ now.
and yet neither Ukraine nor NATO can provide Russia a list of names of these “Stolen” children. if they did the narrative could be eradicated in ten seconds with video statements by the Russian Children saved from ukrop attempts at genocide. The ICC proposes the equivalent handing the Tutsi in the UN compound back to the Hutu waiting to murder them.
Same like in Bucha – no names at all, because there will be minor part of locals and bigger part of dead people from Kiev’s morgues. No names, no Scripals…
The idea is to drain both Russia and Europe to weakness, whereafter US rob both like in WWII. One way or another US will make Europe a heavy burden on Russia.
The United States is teetering on civil war, and that’s why they’re pushing this whole conflict so hard, they are completely desperate to motivate their men to go to war because they know those same men could just as easily (and in fact will) turn their guns on the American Government instead because of the immense betrayal that the United States government has committed against straight white men during the last 15-25 years.
American men in droves are openly refusing to fight for woke tranny bullshit, most american men who aren’t leftists know who the real enemy is.
Giving F-16s to Ukraine is going to be a total disaster in so far as their pilots are not going to have enough experience, there’s nowhere for the UAF to fly their planes without them being shot down, it’s an expensive mess and a waste of lives.
War is a waste of lives !

The hopelessness and hellishness felt by soldiers in the trenches is depicted well there . So sad
If Senator Cotton is so keen on “doing more”, he should get his sorry ass over to Bakhmut and join the cannon fodder Zelensky is sacrificing so his US and Nazi[1] masters can spin the lie of Ukrainian victory a little longer.
[1] Is there really any difference? Did a single American politician demure when Azov cofounder Kuparashvili, declared “now, all of you are Azov [Nazis]”?
The New World Order lead by George Bush Jr. will stop at nothing to stop the New Silk Road and Belt.
None here in west will stop those chinese initiatives. Those transport links exist today but are too small and not advanced.
Some here forget those are both an many ways. USSR almost did nothing to devllop the Southern parts of Sibiria. So meone has. Of course there will be a fight about markets, politics a.s.o. too.
USA-NATO laughs at Little Vlad’s “red lines”!!!
Heheheh!!!
Exactly hehehehe
You do realize one of the symptoms of ‘schizophrenia’ (That word you cannot spell Jens) is continued talking to oneself in the third person. IE constantly answering your own fake account and discoursing with it.
MQ-9 would not agree with you… And what will Murica and Geyurope do in return? Will they draw a rainbow line!?
Can Russia not declare a no-fly-zone over Ukraine and just shoot everything down that is not Russian?
No. Russia would have done it long ago if was possible. But since it’s only a paper tiger 😆😆😆
Oh yes. Russia declare anything they wish. They even think they have their own patents and invented everything and we stoled it too.
why bother, already shooting down everything over 16 feet.
Russia’s track record thus far would strongly argue against equipping zelensky’s failarmy with any more expensive western equipment pretty much a waste
Have you ever watched a NBA Championship get thrown? FISHY!
Russia could make a huge propaganda move by giving Southfront exclusive UNCENSORED live feed of Western weapons destruction as the hands of Russian Army Because at first the media will claim it’s fake but then EVERYONE will come to this site to verify the news
Its a real timewaster and infected with a lot a pathetic almost funny lies too.
It seemes the author of this pamplet is very much delayed in information. Feed Your pigions bettter or something.
The US needs to feel some pain , they are asking for it . I would not blame the Russians one little bit .
amerikan and weak NATO colonies are exposed to be impotent as Macgregor notes ar zero hedge; will Russia absorb all uraine or only half? I suspect that a symbolic occupation of Odessa or kiev will occur and the UFA will depose Zelensky accept all Russian conditions in exchange for return of Black Sea port and/or Kiev. ukraine now has no options
good stuff, there is Poland and Slovakia emptied of aircraft. This self bankrupting of the west is very amusing to watch. no arty shells, no planes. no tanks. It’s nice to feel secure.
The point of no return was when all the arrows (of the kuffar) pointed towards Al-Qaeda, like when judas juden and romans fredoed Jesus.
