1. “Give Ukraine what it takes” , is much better than “with you for as long as it takes”.

   Let’s get the long range missiles coming. Even better, permission to hit military targets in Russia. And more automated mine clearing equipment.

2. Great Britain and poland have really spurred the rest of the west to get its shit somewhat together

3. Royal Air Force:

   1. BAE Hawk T1/2 – ~60
   2. Beechcraft T-6C Texan II – 14

   Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet:

   1. France: 99; being phased out
   2. Germany: German Air Force – 93 (Alpha Jet A: Attack version)
   3. Portugal: 50 (Alpha Jet A, former Luftwaffe aircraft) acquired 1993. Retired 13 January 2018.

   Potentially, Ukraine could do a lot of interesting things with few of this trainer aircraft.
