Russia can not do an offensive on different parts of the front and certainly no bewegungskrieg does not have enough drones to dominate the air, it is not all doom for Ukraine.

It seems to me that the West is never short of endless complicating worries by which it can prevent itself from actually doing anything effective.
Russia has stolen some hundred airliners of Western carriers at the beginning of the war, btw. |
You have never flown in Russia my advice don't it was always bad very bad even with hundreds airliners of Western origin. There are days they do not drop off the air, but those are rare days. Russian airlines have been flying aircraft with no supply of spare parts from the manufacturers for almost 3 years. You can manage for a while with spare parts that were still in stock or taken from other aircraft. But sooner or later they run out, and have to be bought through parallel imports, where control is much less strict. Until before the war, Russian companies leased the bulk of their fleet from mostly Irish firms, which were also controlled by European authorities. But after the invasion, the Kremlin nationalised the aircraft, suddenly requiring the Russian aviation agency to check almost 500 extra planes impossible work.
The Netherlands will send its last F-16 to Ukraine on Monday. Defence minister Ruben Brekelmans announced this on Sunday. This brings the total number of fighter aircraft supplied by the Netherlands to 24. In addition to supplying 24 F-16s to Ukraine, the Netherlands has also made 18 such fighter planes available for a training centre in Romania. At Fetesti airbase, Ukrainian pilots will be trained to fly F-16s in addition to NATO pilots. The Netherlands took the lead with Denmark and the United States for that training centre and is also helping with training at the base. The Dutch air force is currently flying the newer F-35s and therefore no longer needed the F-16s supplied to Ukraine.
