Another single-digit poster here with another flawed analogy. Back in the time, the 50s through 80s, proxy wars were somewhat of a trend. The US and it's people never seemed to be standing against supplying all there is to anyone if it was used against a-then-opposing-force just to make sure the aforementioned force looses as much assets as possible. Just like the opposing force itself was sending their equipment and personnel anywhere from South-East Asia to South and Central America. Yes, the world was somewhat tense about the potential nuclear breakout, and yet, the assets were lost by both sides, dogfights took place with confirmed nationals of the both countries as participants, yet somehow, no one has ever made such big of a deal out of it as if it could have triggered the WW3. But wait a minute, that then-opposing-force appears to be the same problem once again. How is it different from what it used to be back in the day? The only difference is that back in the day the USSR, indeed, had something to oppose to the US, whereas nowadays the so-called Russia, nominally having all those soviet nukes, in fact, after 30 years of all-around corruption, has lost a better part of all the golden age progress. I myself am a humble witness to this, having seen those ICBMs submerged in their silos around Vnukovo back in the early 2000s. The other day it was the 1000-th day of a 72-hour operation in Ukraine, how much more proof do you people want? BTW, not so much of a single-digit poster, just couldn't recover my account from 2007, old folk can remember me as a Russian trying to get in the Air Force. Spoiler - never got in, flying civilian.

As medieval as it gets, you guys think mothballed Hueys could help Ukraine in any way?
