Great that Ukraine is now getting western aircraft to go with their tanks, armoured vehicles, and artillery.

I doubt much will change.

Among all the death and carnage, an Australian Bushmaster has be captured by Russia and it's now on display at Patriot Park in Moscow:

When Ukraine destroyed Russian tanks and put them on display, western media was all over it, but don't expect them to mention Patriot Park, the Leopard tanks or the American IFVs that Russia captured. What could be more ridiculous than saying "we're not a party to the conflict" then months later, some of that gear winds up in Russia :)
