Catching 10 ballistic missiles with Patriot interceptors is $60 million while a single HIMARS launch is $1.3 mln, the only barrier is the unreasonable condition on Ukraine's use of provided weapons
Yeah, this is part of there reason Ukraine has been developing their own long-range systems. That ban is only in force for donated weapons, not for ones they make themselves.
Maybe it’s a sort of attempt to avoid escalation, but I’m far from sure that’s a good idea. Russia only takes and gives nothing. Why should we grant them any favors?
“We” as in the West/Allies/NATO/Europe, and of course USA.

@Buffalox @BombOmOm If Russia collapsed, I would not piss on its grave.
Though I hope it does. Sooner than later.
If when Putin dies, it was allowed to visit to piss on his grave as a tourist attraction, I’d consider it. 😆
@Buffalox That’s a nice consideration.
