I guess they better warm up whatever's left of those MiG's and Mirages and get to work.
well if you have 5 miilion you can buy a used Su27 and it is FAA approved for private ownership I guess they could get some too.
Ukraine is so poor due to they bad economy they sold fighters to American civilians but hey for 5 mil that is good a deal on a Gen 4 fighter

This aircraft is the first civilian-operated Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker in the world. Its first post-restoration flight, seen here, took place on 10 December 2009, in Rockford, Illinois, USA. It is registered N131SU.
The outside air temperature for this flight was 7 degrees Farenheit, or minus 14 Celsius. The wind was 250/15. The takeoff roll on Runway 25 was approximately 1,100 feet, and the pilots used a climbout angle of approximately 25-30 degrees to avoid accelerating through their FAA-waivered speed limit in Class D airspace. Flight duration was approximately 45 minutes.
