France will grant Ukraine licenses to manufacture Aster 30 anti-aircraft missiles for the SAMP/T air defense system, AASM Hammer air-to-ground bombs, and SCALP cruise missiles.French President Emmanuel Macron announced this […]
The foremost need of Ukraine, currently, is financial backing, a steady stream of equipment and safe places to manufacture equipment. They haven’t asked for foreign soldiers to do their fighting. In fact, they are increasingly switching over to remote-operated warfare to reduce needs for manpower.
What Ukraine urgently needs at the moment is either some kind of defense against Russian ballistic missiles (since Trump wasted US missile defense on fighting with Iran and can’t sell to Ukraine even if he wanted, not to speak of donating)… or a way to knock out production of at least “Iskander” (9K720, also known as SS-26 Stone).
I my humble opinion, knocking out production would be smarter. This translates into other countries giving money, elements of tech and research so that Ukraine can piece together a very effective long-range strike program and hammer Russian factories until Iskander becomes a rarity item.
Which is probably happening as we speak, but sadly at the same time, Russia in hitting Ukraininan facilities with ballistic missiles almost unobstructed because missile defense is very, very exhausted. Fortunately many of those facilities are either deep underground or in secret locations but power stations and fuel storage sites aren’t exactly a secret.
Also, both sides are currently deploying AI-enabled drones, with Ukraine a bit ahead in reach (and a bit smarter with keeping a human in the loop) and Russia a bit ahead on autonomy (their latest don’t have a human in the loop, but don’t fly as far).
I would characterize: in this stage of the conflict, Russia has lost initiative and Ukraine has gained it, but both sides are destroying each other’s infrastructure at an uneasy pace. It would be good if peace could be achieved before winter, because a winter with broken infrastructure is a disaster waiting to happen.
Good points, but that’s the goal of my proposal; to end the war now. In my proposal, France and the UK will enter the war if Putin rejects peace. This would probably end the war quickly.
Actually, not really.
