    Political play, Israel hasn’t went all in on Ukraine. This could be part of an agreement for weapon share, experience share, intel share, etc etc. Diplomacy is a fucked up thing.

      That’s actually interesting. It could be beneficial if it resulted in greater support for Ukraine from Israel.

      I’m mostly focusing on Israel supporting Ukraine because Ukraine has far fewer resources and a way greater enemy to face.

        I mean Zelensky internationally is very popular. It draws attention, Currys sympathy and overall legitimizes the war declaration more. On top of thar the most experiences soldiers in the world are Ukrainians and or Russians at the moment. The Russians have been siding with Iran, so Israel probably a tad pissed. If Ukraine sends 10 instructors maybe Israel sends 10 AA missle launchers with rounds to Ukraine.

          Isreal soldiers have been doing a fair amount of fighting over the years too, including the last decade. Maybe each soldier on average isn’t the hardened vet the average Ukranian soldier is now, but the amount of instituional knowledge IDF has is not to be sneered at.

          It definitely is a political play, like you said. More support from Israel for Ukraine, and maybe less support to Russia. I believe Israel is maintaining some nominal relation to Russia due to their histories.

            Oh for sure don’t get me wrong Israelis defiantly are top notch fighters and have experience. That being said the last full scale war they had against the Arab league didn’t have drones. Which Ukraine and Russia are tbe only two armies getting real practice and experience.
