An interesting development. Makes it easy for Ukraine to field those, since they already operate that type. Hope they are able to disperse and hide them well from Russian attack. It will be interesting to see how well they are maintained, since during the Balkans conflict the jets opposing NATO were frequently launched without many systems being fully operational, e.g. radars, etc. |

Yes, they can be in the air with crews who are already trained and experienced in very short amount of time … Of course, the maintenance crews will have to a complete inspection of all systems. Before they take to the skies. That is always a given with any weapon system. |
