  1. The countries providing Ukraine with the most support will be the main targets when they start dropping nukes… this is literally the main reason nobody wants to go first with air support.

    Oh and bare in mind those nukes will be launched from submarines a few miles of your countries coast, not from Russia like the dummas mainstream media tells u. They land in well under 5minutes.

  2. Those planes MIG-29s are not 40 years old. …Slovaks do not want to cause harm to Ukrainian pilots…the planes are safe to fly!!!!!! They were modernised between years 2005-2008. For Ukrainians .. It is better to receive these than to have NOTHING. Your News should be based on facts not guessing. If any other country can help Ukrainians with other planes …bring it on…Slovakia to transfer 13 MiG-29s to Ukraine, after Poland gives four….. with more aircraft to be delivered in the future.

  3. Military analysis already said, even US supports Ukraine with a squadron of F-16, it won't bring much change to the current situation. both sides have very good air defense (SAM) system that makes close air support costly

  4. The planes were going to be taken out of service to make way for new fighter planes. Is it really a help and a sacrifice giving away something that was heading for the scrap heap?

  5. What everyone needs to remember is that Ukraine needs a platform to use JDAMS and similar stand off weapons. These Migs are really significant because they have already been modified for NATO equipment AND Ukrainian pilots already know how to fly them.
    They don't need to go into dogfights – they need to be able to deliver JDAMS onto Crimea and occupied territory from a safe distance which they will.

  6. As a Slovak, i am ashamed we support fascist bandera ukraine state. Fortunatelly it is not nation only pupet government who suppports it. In addition, the us controlled pupet government, which historically has a record distrust of 80-90%, is dismissed, nobody wants it, its ministers have gone to a party that nobody voted for, which did not pass the elections, the dismissed prime minister is also the minister of finance and health since former ministers resigned. Also Dismissed government does not have right to send this planes abroad because our constitution does not allow this since they are dismissed and drag Slovakia into the conflict on the side of Ukraine, with which Slovakia has nothing to do, and in this way will cause immeasurable damage in the future, be it diplomatic, economic, political, military economic, we can only guess and why all this??? Because they are only American white horses, foreign agents controlled by a foreign power, who act against the interests of the Slovak Republic with the support of oligarchic and foreign media that censor and undermine democracy in Slovakia!Unfortunately, after joining the EU,we lost our sovereignty and became just a banana colony. this illegitimate government could b planning to introduce a state of war in this way cancel elections

  7. Don’t give them much of an advantage atall one these planes are old as hell they are the air version of russias old Cold War tanks the technology they have is poor 2 they are just going up against the same planes and better ones with pilots and training much better and consistent than there’s 3 they will never get the numbers they need to sustain a prolonged attack or defence

  8. Fighter Jets on both sides are playing a rather insignificant role in this conflict because of the S300 & S400 air defence systems which can smoke planes the second they leave the runway.

  9. It will make little to no difference, Russia has far too much air support, anti aircraft missiles and radar. They will unfortunately just be sent into the air to die.

  10. So what is this edge? What's the aim?.
    Russia wants to secure the donbas and Crimea….if the Americans respect this and assist the peace process then it's all over……but no… we have the continual destruction of Ukraine as the the wall between the U.S aggression in its (proxy)war and Russia

    Reply
  11. Yes they will. The importance of leading with example is far more significant than a few Mig29s. …and unbelievble, the Bakhmut meat grinder doesn't seem to get stuck, no matter how much meat is thrown at it.

  12. The west knows the power of Russian army, and prefers sacrificing Ukraine, by sending few weapons. This is an evil intention missed by the comedian. The 2 losers in this conflict are Ukraine, then Europe. Not US, nor Russia.

  13. Is the Ukraine paying for these jets???
    Why doesn't sky news report the truth about what's going on in the Ukraine. sky news only reports Ukraineian and globalist propaganda!
    Everyone take note there are no reporters on the ground all news comes directly from kyev
