I know that EU mouthpiece went off script and then they had to backtrack but have they found a way to get it done? I think a lot of it had to do with what deal the Poles got for replacements and the US were likely the only player able to make that happen. Yeah something like that and yeah they did a "news just in" thing on the itv news 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From what I saw it said Poland will hand all their Migs to USA for them to hand to Ukraine??? How does that work? False news? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicepix 5,650 Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 The proposed deal is that Poland hands their MiGs to Ukraine and the Yanks replace them with their F16 planes. Except the Yanks haven't got any new ones in stock or being produced and Poland is nervous about the whole thing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure we all know they are all c**ts, Putin firmly included... The hope is that we change our outcomes The reality is we won’t Still, wanting it to be better surely is a noble thing for all of us isn’t it mate and we can only do that if we are dealing in reality……the reality of knowing who’s who and what’s what Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 20,575 Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 I think the deal is Poland gives all its Migs to America in return for F16s. Then America gives the Migs to Ukraine. I'd guess the Ukrainian pilots are far more familiar with the Migs than F16's. Also gives Poland deniability that it's helping Ukraine Poland already has F16's in its Airforce so should be familiar with flying and servicing them. Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,645 Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Interesting! There are new upgraded F-16 variants still in development for tender so it's possible a deal could be struck for a new Polish batch of these, perhaps even with some manufacturing in Poland to sweeten it even more. Normally in such deals second hand stuff would be offered to fill the gap. I'm sure the yanks could find a couple squadrons of used F-16s to hand over, even the national guard have them!
