Chechens could act as a platform for inviting international fighters.
Seasoned fighters from regional conflicts already excel in urban warfare.
Transfer of asymmetrical expertise to Ukrainians would be great.
We should consider sending it from our own inventory to speed it up including for Poland.
Potentially establishing task force in Poland to assist Ukrainian drone operations.
Poland should provide loitering munitions to Ukraine. Turkey should donate small UAVs.

Recent conflict has again showed that Russian Air Force is not in par with western.
To go straight to the point, it also showed that is not in par with TurAF
I am not talking about platforms but tactics.

They failed to effectively perform SEAD/DEAD against Ukrainian Air Force ...
According to source, airbase stored old, mostly likely non operational Mig 29s.
But they could at least put them apart, it looks like all of them was destroyed by one missile.
Potential shortcomings in air to ground capabilities?
Multiroles like Migs 29 are not ground attack aircraft, would require exposing the aircraft to engage ground targets as seen in Syria and Libya.
Su-24, 25 are lower risk considering the air superiority is not fully achieved.
Russia does...
Ukraine's increased successful resistance could change western stance. Potentially using it as a whipping stick against Russia in an international stage
