Eh, USSR had to do the same shit. They even traded some subs and ships for Pepsi back in 1990.

I fail to see the problem here. It seems like a good deal to me.

Sorry, but what's the problem here?

also barter deals it's not something really special

EU does so for the Ukrainian thing. You have amnesia or something?
Yeah nah, pretty normal for the Russians. About 10-15 years ago they offered a whole fleet of brand new BMPs to New Zealand in exchange for milk powder, but the anti-military Labour party was in power so it never happened.

EU sanctions is about Ukraine.
Most of the EU countries, except Poland and Baltics, is extremely against elections sanctions, because they can cut them off from cheap russian gas.

IIRC Thailand paid or wanted to pay part of their Gripen purchase in chicken.
One type of bird for another, makes sense, no?
Will not help with the inevitable war against Australia

Only 11? Its not even a squadron. What do they want to do with it.
>>34796679
They did this with China for winter coats and they never got them, never again??

trading chickens for turkeys. Bad deal.
Did their neighbors scale up air forces? Or is this because of China? Don't think the Aussies are going to bomb anyone anytime soon with their F35s.
Feels more like a political move to curry favor with Russia.
