On paper, 100 or 150 jets sounded tok kong. In reality  

Problems, Saab current production with backlog, Sweden, Brazil n other countries are willing to delay delivery, Ukraine might receive a few jets soon. Next will be training of pilots, maintenance & support, interop with current military equipment, etc. 

100-150 jets, Ukraine is looking to fight the war beyond another 5 yrs. 

Actually... 50 jets is probably more than enough to turn the aerial tide decisively considering they are already holding back the Russian air force very well now with the small force they have.  150 is looking at long term force planning. 

But yeah... saab production capacity will be stretched thin.

But Trump will always go soft with Putin when they have a call or meetup.

Haiz no choice. 

Putin has a video tape of Trump golden showers. 

Not sure if he is doing the showering or he is being showered.

So much for drone technology. Actually it does not take much to bring one down. No need for pricey sophisticated counter-drone tech. Just confetti or a roll of toilet paper

A couple of days ago, the Russia propaganda was celebrating the elimination of 11 specials forces of the Ukrainian GUR intelligence when they landed by Blackhawk helicopters.. The Gur were silent for a few days (maybe Opsec) and finally they are saying something. The operation are on going with footages of GUR operating inside Russian controlled territories of Pokorvst. So from Ukraine POV, the landing were successful, but operation is ongoing but whether operation will be a success, no one knows yet.

The experts are so nice to tell us. Pokrovsk is not military significant. They need to tell us what cities are indeed important beforehand, so we could know. But I guess the answer would be Washington.

Ukraine to get 100 Rafale aircraft, after the Gripens.

The war has gone exactly as planned. Defense contractors and politicians got their money. The goal was always to weaken Russia and enrich the international oligarchs.
The media forgot to mention: France sold jets to Ukraine but the rest of NATO has to fund the purchase, as France is bankrupt. It is a deal which still has to be financed. This “purchase” by Ukraine of 100 French fighter jets with the final delivery of same being in 2035. 

Sadly the Ukrainians will realise that this war was meant to destroy them and cripple Russia , they were never meant to win , they were betrayed by the West ( from day 1 ) .
