Fears Of Disaster Brewing For Ukraine As U.S. Halts Weapons Shipments Over Stockpile Concerns. Air defense interceptors are atop the list of items being curtailed as Russia’s ability to pummel Ukraine from afar is growing.

1. By a total coincidence, this halt happens right before a Russian offensive.

   Remember how Trump paused aid when Russia pushed into Kursk?

2. This is treason from the Trump Administration. Russian assets, all of them. Utterly disgusting.

3. Britain and France should just start flying combat air patrols over Western Ukraine to shoot down any missiles or drones attacking civilian targets.

   The defeat of Ukraine will 100% mean that a NATO country is next in line. If worse comes to worst. Better to fight Russia in Ukraine than in Romania. But Russia will be unlikely to do much about it – especially if the Western pilots slap some yellow and blue tape on the flight helmets and call themselves tourists.

4. Something like this isn’t really surprising unfortunately.

   Production rate for PAC3 missiles is only 650 per annum, and was at 500 last year.

   We know that between 40 and 70 were launched by Qatar & US forces intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles. So somewhere around 2 months worth of production.

   Given the push to send more patriots to Taiwan, as well as LOTS of international orders, it’s not suprising there are major supply constraints.

   These supply constraints aren’t something that will be a shock to Kiev. They will have already been factoring in a lack of new interceptors and would have been rationing them for months.
