Enjoying the Ukranian spring.
Rasputitsa
Rasputitsa is a Russian term for two seasons of the year, spring and autumn, when travel on unpaved roads or across country becomes difficult, owing to muddy conditions from rain or melting snow.

There are rumors that the USAF is considering retiring 3 squadrons of A-10 Warthogs and turning them over to the Ukrainians.

Might be a better bet to send them to Poland and have Poland send its Legacy Su25's to Ukraine, the way Poland is sending its MiG 29s to Ukraine.
