Hmm?

Other countries are also sending Leopards, but most will need at least a few more weeks before they are ready for transfer. Poland were the first to actually deliver (some of) theirs to Ukraine

The reporters could follow lobbyists around, maybe hang out at fundraisers. Prolly some real news there.

Lithuania has been punching so far above their weight class it’s insane. If you look at who supports Ukraine the hardest, it’s countries who used to live under Russian/soviet boots. They know exactly what’s at stake

Least braindead Putin dickrider

Agreed. Russia will stab India in the back as soon as it sees advantage.

I admit that I don’t stay on top of Indian news, but I do pay attention.

I understand the short term desire for cheap oil & gas and cheap Russian arms. This thinking is short sighted. India is doing lasting damage to its relationships with western democracies.

When push comes to shove, which countries might actually come to India’s defense. It’s the west.

Modi’s government takes the relations with the west for granted.

Many in the west are paying attention and aren’t happy with Indian selfishness.

Is this an accomplishment? I mean it’s not super far.

Reference: ICBM’s have been around since the 50’s. North Korea fires them into the ocean like dolphins are going to attack tomorrow.

Yea as if west was giving them all and they rejected it.

Correct. Russia does not.

Yeah, we agree. So then why shouldn’t Israel be the first to act out this obvious understanding?

Where’s the adult in the room? I don’t see one yet.

> emm, ballistic missile means it’s exo-atmospheric….no?)

Not necessarily. Ballistic can fly within the atmosphere, but at longer distances they probably won’t because it’s not practical. Arrow 3 would intercept like above Iraq, whereas Arrow 2 would intercept at much closer distances to Israel.

> Though I’m pretty sure arrow 2 could be used against paveh, no? 1650 KMs shouldn’t be considered a long-range missile?

The problem is more related to the fact that Arrow 2 is designed to intercept in the upper atmosphere, whereas cruise missiles fly much lower. David’s Sling and Patriot have targeting systems and maneuvering that are more suitable for that.

The name of the game when it comes to Israeli (and American) missile defenses is to just have many different systems with different targets they are focused on.

Thanks, yeah. I read about the Iranian missiles beforehand on Telegram and he talked too about an exo-atmospheric ballistic missile (emm, ballistic missile means it's exo-atmospheric....no?) That they still didn't show but claim to have. So I was talking about Arrow 3 because of it.

Though I'm pretty sure arrow 2 could be used against paveh, no? 1650 KMs shouldn't be considered a long-range missile?

Maybe don't support terrorists and people will behave less like assholes. No negotiations should be needed not to kill civilians.

Just for the sake of completeness, Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 would be used against long-range ballistic missiles. In particular, Arrow 3 was designed for exo-atmospheric interceptions, which would never involve a cruise missile.

More likely that David’s Sling and/or Patriot would be deployed against cruise missiles.

The problem is that by explicitly increasing their purchases of russian weapons and oil etc they are not neutral, they are actively increasing the amount of money they send to Russia.

Canada has tanks?
