This heavily supports the notion that, in fact, Russia’s missile stockpile have faced shortage issues if they’re this desperate for North Korea and Iranian missiles (do not believe the Iran missile agreement has happened yet).
But, South Korea will have to get more involved, as well as Japan. North Korea will not only get data from how their missiles are working on real defenses outside test zones, but NK will also be getting *something* in return for these missiles, and that should be on Japan and South Korea’s radar.
I wonder how both will respond. Hopefully, with even more aid.
UN needs to step their game up, too.
Lets fucking Gooooo!
Send the long range ATACMS
A better headline than the other angle that people were very quick to judge meant funds were stopping in 2024.
Similarly to the other article, if people didn’t jump to conclusions on the crap headline…the detail in the quotes clearly states that right now Ukraine need all the money being asked for, however as soon as it’s possible the plan is to move Ukraine forward to be self sustaining militarily. That they can produce enough of their own weapons, to counter Russian threat, that’s the long term goal and they Ukraine won’t need as much funding.
Absolutely does not mean any funding will stop right away, and very much recognition that in 2024 Ukraine is not there yet – they still need all the large investment being asked for.
