My guess is they'll initially sortie from Romania, maintaining IFF silence for plausible deniability, while a coordinated strike with man-and-vehicle portable SAMs retakes enough airspace in the western part of the country to support further operations.


> plausible deniability

You're proposing military aircraft owned by an EU member state should launch from their airfields in EU, sneak over the border and land in Ukraine, refuel and (re-)arm - and perhaps get a quick paint job too and have the aviation equivalent of their serial numbers filed off - then start attacking Russian forces in Ukraine, and our plan would be basically to hope that the enemy with apparently complete air superiority plus satellite capability might not notice?

I'm firmly anti-war; that plan sounds like a great way to drag the EU and/or NATO straight into this one.


On the other hand, we're already supplying Ukraine with many types of weapons. Airplanes are just one more type.


That would definitely drag NATO into the war, so no.


That explains a lot.
