Yesterday, the Polish government announced its agreement to relinquish a number of MiG-29s "immediately and free of charge" to the United States and transfer them in to the Ramstein base in #Germany.

This step was met with fear and anxiety by the #Pentagon in #Washington under the pretext that it does not want the #US or any of the #NATO countries to have a direct role in the ongoing war in #Ukraine.

At the outset, it must be emphasized that the launch of any warplane from any of the #NATO bases in the vicinity of Ukraine and its entry into the Ukrainian airspace will be considered by Moscow as a direct participation in the war, and thus a broader clash and a global war.

The Russian radars will not wait to see if the pilots of these planes are Ukrainians, Poles or Americans. It sees any non-Russian air target as an enemy. Moreover, Russian systems' monitoring ranged allows them to determine where these planes are launched from.

So, is this step not applicable? In my opinion, there is another way that the Ukrainian army can be supplied with these planes without this leading to a world war or a Russian collision with #NATO.

Close to the borders of countries allied to #Ukraine, there are 10 civil and military airports where these planes can be transported to, and when I say transport, I mean that they be transported by land in pieces and reassembled in Ukrainian airports.

These airports are as follows: Rivne, Lutsk, Lviv, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kamianets-Podilskyi, Chernivtsi, Uzhhorod, and Odessa.

Due to the long borders between #Ukraine with #Poland, #Slovakia, #Hungary, #Romania, and #Moldova, and with many land corridors, #Russia's capabilities cannot control all of them. Therefore, it is possible to enter them to Ukrainian territory.

Knowing that since the first day of this invasion, convoys of military support trucks from the West for the Ukrainian army have not stopped, and due to the complexity of the military scene, Moscow has not been able to continue this support and target until now.
9/11

As time goes on in this war, the West began to split into three parts. One part wants to break #Russia militarily, another part wants the war to end as quickly as possible to reduce the economic costs, and another part is just watching.
10/11

The West should realize that this Russian administration is obsessed with extending its influence, so if its waves do not break on the Ukrainian lands today, then it will not stop at the east bank of the Dnieper River.
