Loading ...Ukraine Confirms Receipt Of Longer-Range Missiles It’s Long Sought From US
Earlier requests for longer range systems were rebuffed, but things have changed…
Zelensky thanked the U.S. for the system as well as the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems it’s received, but added that his troops “absolutely need the United States to show leadership and give Ukraine” additional air defense systems it has requested.
The Biden administration approved the shipment of six of the missile systems late last month as part of a nearly $3 billion lethal aid package to bolster Kyiv as it battles the Kremlin invasion.
The NASAMS are considered “medium-range” systems, but are considered an improvement over prior missiles sent to Ukraine, which typically had a max range of 30 to 50 miles. The NASAMS are capable of defending against aircraft, cruise missiles, as well as drones and were designed by the US and Norway.
This won’t change anything in the war, but it could make Russia angry if they attack Russian areas, including the four new Russian oblasts. What reckless fools the western leaders are.
If one of these things lands in Russian Territory…The Russians will be obliged to NUKE Ukraine into the stone age unfortunately
The Russians will only use nukes if they are hit by one. They can escalate beyond that which Nato can deal with without resorting to nukes. The threat of nuclear war lies in the imminent defeat of the west.
As hard as it is to accept, we are the threat to world peace. We are the modern day nazis. Our leaders speak constantly of racism and cultural appropriation, but they want to impose their will on every population in the world – including ours!
