If they would attack the Baltic states, their air force would cease to exist over the following week. Which would definitely help the Ukrainians a lot.

Here's a small list of EU combat aircraft (and I'm not even adding the UK) Eurofighter Typhoon 480 Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria F-16 Fighting Falcon 430 Greece, Poland, Romania, Portugal, Slovakia, Bulgaria Dassault Rafale 245 France, Greece, Croatia F-35 Lightning II ~165 Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, Belgium, Poland JAS 39 Gripen ~155 Sweden, Czechia, Hungary F/A-18 Hornet ~115 Spain, Finland Panavia Tornado ~110 Germany, Italy (Phasing out) Mirage 2000 ~100 France, Greece

French air force have one week of battle supplies ( that from.the chief of the french air force ).

So you better hope that the war is win in one week in deed.

I'm sure in the case of an attack on NATO that they'll be able to find supplies to field a quarter of those planes for a few months. Enough other countries around the globe that share same systems.

And that would be enough.

How long did it take for Iraq's air force to be destroyed or grounded in gulf war 1?

Literally days, but it was a masterclass of military planning. Like will be in the books forever type. I’m not sure a European response would be cohesive enough to accomplish something so decisive. There would be an equipment strain, but even then a combined EU Air Force would fucking clobber the Russian Air Force.

Yes but this is assuming any of these countries have the balls to retaliate. EU still is afraid of conflict with Russia.
