Such great news and if the numbers are correct, a decent number of jets.

It's a great start though from checking Wikipedia earlier it looks like Ukraine will still be heavily outnumbered so hopefully more keep coming. At a minimum it's going to significantly contribute to leveling the playing field.

Air superiority would be fantastic and I hope it's what they get in the medium term.
