The F-14 was really a Backfire killer before they could get in range of the carrier, as you note, with the very long range AIM54.

I read one fiction book where B-1s were equipped with AMRAAMs to take out a Backfire raid.  Anyway, the thought of a zone of Ukraine that is perhaps 20 miles by 20 miles area sanctuary might be explored.

neutron bomb | nuclear weapon | Britannica

The bomb might have a yield, or explosive strength, of only one kiloton, a fraction of the 15-kiloton explosion that devastated Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945. Its blast and heat effects would be confined to an area of only a few hundred metres in radius, but within a somewhat larger radius of 1,000–2,000 metres the fusion reaction would throw off a powerful wave of neutron and gamma radiation. High-energy neutrons, though short-lived, could penetrate armour or several metres of earth and would be extremely destructive to living tissue. Because of its short-range destructiveness and the absence of long-range effects, the neutron bomb might be highly effective against tank and infantry formations on the battlefield but might not endanger nearby cities or other population centres. It could be launched on a short-range missile, fired by an artillery piece, or possibly delivered by a small aircraft.

seriously, f**k Estonia, and f**k NATO. Estonia officially "demands" a no-fly-zone. F**K YOU ESTONIA. You're in no position to demand shit. You should be thankful you were even welcomed into the club. Now sit the f**k down and shut the f**k up and let the big boys handle it.



This dude absolutely nails it...







"Isn't it great to be in a sprawling military alliance with tiny countries who demand insane actions they could never do themselves."

Poland demanding NATO missions in Ukraine...boots on the ground. Jesus Christ. F**K Poland too. These shitbag insignificant nothing countries are not worth a single penny of American treasure nor one drop of American blood let alone potentially starting f**king World War III and nuclear holocaust. Who the f**k are they to demand anything?

US needs to tell leaders of these nothing countries to shut the f**k up or they're going to get kicked out of NATO. Have to love the skinny little 5 foot 2 twerp who flaps his gums because his sister is dating the biggest, baddest motherf**ker on the block.

Zelenskyy speaking in front of Congress today pleading for a No Fly Zone. Poland demanding boots on the ground. Estonia demanding a No Fly Zone. I'm actually starting to get scared that World War III is actually going to happen.

Here's everything the US is sending to Ukraine's military | TheHill

That is a fair bit of stuff, in trained hands, or semitrained.

I idly wonder how the gear is getting to the battle field, and why Russia is not moving to cut supply lines.

Russia has it's hands full just resupplying and reinforcing their positions.  I doubt they have the ability to patrol any of the Ukraine-Poland, Croatia, Hungary, and Romanian borders.

Yeah, possibly, and that's a question as to why they can't for me.  A primary strategy is to cut supply lines.
