Well fair enough it was a simplification. But two and a half years on they are yet to receive a single western jet. ATACMS were only supplied very grudgingly with instructions not to hit the Russian bases that are daily bombing and firing missiles at Ukraine as they are in Russia and doing that might upset the Russians. And were given partly because some of the ATACMS were scheduled to be destroyed due to old age and it would have looked embarrassing in America to be doin that while the Ukrainians were dying fighting. The Crimea bridge could have been taken down by Taurus but that might have annoyed Russia etc.
