People do not understand the implications of 55 "NATO surplus" Mig-29's arriving in Ukraine immediately mean.
The UAF cannot assimilate & use those Mig-29's that quickly without pilots and ground crew to go with them.
Unless this is NATO's version of Chennault's Flying Tigers.

Pres. Zelensky already has a program for immediately inducting any foreign soldier who wishes to fight for Ukraine.
You might have serving Polish, Slovakian and Bulgarian MiG drivers in the mix along with their ground crew.

These MIG-29's have link 16 to listen to NATO E-3D.
Any Russian or Belarus aircraft over 50 meters altitude w/in 300 km of NATO borders is now a target.

Assuming NATO pulls out the Lk 16, it can set up an analogue radio relay in Ukraine for voice & data.
Then you could seat a Ukrainian radar air intercept officer in the AWACS with a NATO instructor & drive intercepts from the E-3D
The Russians have picked the wrong fight

PPS.
The UK is publicly endorsing it's citizens going to fight in Ukraine under Pres. Zelensky's Foreign Legion.
I expect this will be other NATO nation's policy as well...including for NATO pilots.
NATO Flying Tigers was not on my bingo card for 2022.
