    Why do you believe they won’t do combat missions this year? I have no perspective on this so truly a genuine question. I know there has been training for a bit now, so I figured that would make pilots combat ready and I assumed they’re already have been planning for the arrival to be ready.

      I think it would be wise to wait until they have the initiative again so they can combine all efforts with greater effect and safety. Ukraine’s last offensive was a wash because of the fortified line and mines which slowed them down enough to be easy pickings for Russian air attacks.
