Give Warthogs to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

* They are a huge ground support capable of sending missiles on a very long range, have a very efficient instruments to do surveillance and with guns designed for destroying heavy armor
* UAF pilots will be able to learn how to fly it very quickly as it's controls are somewhat similar to what they already have
* It should be able to defend itself in the current battlefield conditions in Ukraine with worst case scenario it being supported by the current fleet.
* They are purposefully designed to be very resource efficient to repair with parts that NATO already has infrastructure to mitigate any logistics issues
* The training problem is with using the electronics such as targeting computer and damage control which can be mitigated by:
** adjusting them for the ukraine's conditions (they don't need all the functions that warthog has) which could make the training last only 1 week on average
** The damage control is in general quick to learn
* They are a very ancient in terms of technology (from 1972) so them falling in RUF hands won't be as much of an issue especially if they are adapted for ukraine's conditions to not have sensitive tech on them
