“To Get Ukraine Air Support Quickly – Try the Boneyard”/Wall Street Journal
I wonder if this alternative has been discussed at the numerous Ramstein meetings or raised by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, in his numerous conversations with his Ukrainian counterpart, Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhny. Somehow, I doubt it and, if not why not?
The WSJ has a difficult paywall. For those who are unable to get around the paywall, here are a few excerpts:
· “For decades the U.S. has kept retired airframes—a mix of jets, turboprop aircraft and helicopters—at the ready to either be brought back into service or used for parts. This inventory offers a simple way to give Ukraine the means to defend itself in the near term without escalating the conflict.”
· “Ukraine’s military challenge is tailor-made for a boneyard air force made up of out-of-use U.S. aircraft. America has on hand the mix of electronic attack and ground-interdiction aircraft Ukraine needs to support its counteroffensive. For example, the U.S. boneyard has 36 EA-6B prowler aircraft that specialize in jamming radars and communication systems. These systems were retired over the past decade and can be used to suppress enemy air defenses.”
· “There are more than 50 MQ-1Bs predators and 40 C-12 Hurons, a multirole turboprop aircraft, that can collect intelligence as well as jam enemy radars. This combination would make it difficult for Russian radar to find Ukrainian aircraft sent to attack ground formations.”
· “There are more than 100 decommissioned A-10 “Warthogs” ready to go and 281 in service that the U.S. Air Force has requested Congress retire. These could move on to the boneyard themselves by the end of this fiscal year. While A-10s couldn’t survive a contested air environment on their own, combining them with specialty radar-jamming aircraft like the EA-6B would change the equation.”
· “The boneyard also has more than 140 AH-1 attack helicopter variants and 70 UH-1 utility helicopter variants, many of which are brand new, owing to the recent Marine Corps modernization. Combined with the MQ-1 drone variants currently sitting idle, the Ukrainians could replicate proven manned-unmanned teaming tactics used by the U.S. Army. Drones and attack helicopters could hunt Russian tanks and artillery together along the front line, using long-range sensors and jamming to increase their survivability.” NOTE: When I was visiting S. Vietnam in 1972, I went on a combat mission in a UH-1, called the “Huey.” It was the most extraordinary piece of machinery that has ever been my pleasure to travel in.
· “A mix of unmanned systems like the MQ-1 drones and converted aircraft would use jamming and long-range missile strikes at higher altitudes, while swarming drones and remotely piloted helicopters would create chaos along the front line.”
· “Even the threat of A-10 sorties and attack helicopters would create opportunities for more Ukrainian surface-to-air attacks against Russian jets. Each Russian jet that has to patrol closer to the front line to hunt for Ukrainian airframes risks taking a Ukrainian surface-to-air missile. Each additional surface-to-air missile platform Russia pushes forward to shoot down Ukraine’s boneyard air forces becomes another target for long-range strike assets like Himars and ground-launched small-diameter bombs.”
· “Regardless of the package, the boneyard airframes are much cheaper to send than new aircraft. Washington and its partners would still need to train Ukrainian pilots and advise on creative combinations of air assets, but these costs would be manageable and in line with our current efforts.”
The boneyard aircraft would seem to be ideal for financing through the Ukraine Lend-Lease Program enacted last year but, as far as I’m aware, never been used to get equipment to Ukraine quickly, at a minimal cost.
News From the Battlefield
“Reporting From Ukraine” posted today that he’s feeling better and that he hopes to resume his daily updates by the end of this week.
I am considering changing my referrals to Denys Davidov’s reporting from “The Latest Denys,” to “The Latest KaBoom,” because of the obvious pleasure he gets from reporting these almost daily events, in both Russia and temporarily occupied Ukraine.
· At 7:10 into his video he reports on Russian advances against Kupiansk, in Luhansk Oblast. Ukraine has ordered evacuations of some tows around Kupiansk, and possibly Kupiansk itself.
· At 9:55 into his video he reports that the damaged Russian amphibious ship has been moved into a floating drydock (see photo). It is likely that repairs will take at least several months, possibly longer.
