If you’re Putin, you’re a little bit uncomfortable.”

One big issue is the launcher doing "Shoot-n-Scoot". Fire a barrage, pack up, be gone before counter-fire can arrive.. @a64whatever is also right, though, A2A missiles are VERY different from AtG or GtG in most cases. Looking into the sky is a whole different set of problems than looking at the ground. Plenty of problems in both directions, but very different in ways you can solve those problems. Though, we as America are part of the problem because we wouldn't let them use long-range stuff to fire into Russia until just lately. Plus, air-to-air missiles often fire 'shotgun blasts' of metal hexagons to 'toss a cloud into the path of their target', impinging on turbines or clipping wires/hydraulic hoses and so on. You may as well throw pebbles at a tank as use one of those against it. Even APC's would likely shrug off some of the most devastating of air missiles.

@@Talkingcrimestories2024 Writing all in capitals looks like shouting and appears inpolite. A friendly advice: KZbin has other ways to let text stand out (though always use it in moderation). Use " * " or " _ " or " - " at both ends of the word or sentence. No spaces, it must touch the end of your text. _ for _italised_ text. - for -outlined- text. * for *bold* text. You can combine two or more in the same text. If so, best result is if you use this order _, -, * on the left side and *, -, _ on the right side.

[@gerryhouska2859]

I believe it provides 40%.

@@gerryhouska2859 that's about right. According to ifw the aid pie is roughly devided ike this: USA: 36% Other regions: 7.5% Geographic Europe: 60.5%

[@davidwright5094]

Language is imprecise. What is included in "support"? How is it measured? (E.g. when a family outside Ukraine hosts a couple of Ukrainian refugees, how is that element of "support" quantified?) -- Not to suggest that these questions have not been given answers; just that numbers don't mean a great deal to audience here without pointers to where we can discover whichever answers are intended.

[@The_Stef]

@@davidwright5094 If you want to be thorough, the topic is indeed complex. Are we measuring real aid or the raw dollar value? Starting at pure military aid in terms of dollor value, the aid split is about 50% US /45% geographic Europe. Adding financial assistance, you land at numbers I stated previously. If you add refuge costs, the aid burdon becomes lopsided towards Europe as this is a huge cost factor.

[@silverbird425]

its worse than that. A minority was able to hold up the entire process for 6 months. On a simple up or down vote, there is 60+% support for Ukraine. In essence, old equipment and ammunition is being sent over for disposal in Ukraine rather than disposal in the USA. There are so many 'battle trucks' that they were given free to police department. The US has a superabundance of many military wares sitting around that could be reclaimed, remade, and sent to Ukraine. I mean not 20 or 30 percent more but 2, 3, 4, or 5 times as much. The US could easily equip the 11 brigades of troops that AFU raised, though the logistics would take a year. That would be Bradley IFV level equipment vs 'Russians on roller skates'.

Trump will do whatever his boss Putin tells him to do

[@yurik383]

I’m not so sure, in the end military spending is an electoral boost to every president and party financing. There isn’t even one good reason for Trump to stop feeding the industrial military complex, increasing blue-collar unemployment and helping Europe to become strategic independent. That’s the strategic direction of every administration since America was Great. And remember, he wants it Great Again, not miserable as it was before that. Neither it’s voters. They believe everything he tells him. Just remember, Trump was one of the most vocals deniers of covid threat, in the end he just passed the most generous paycheck bill in America’s history, it set the standard for the rest of the developing world to follow, and in the end blamed democrats on inflation. So, politics aside, republicans wouldn’t allow that to happen.

[@Jens-Viper-Nobel]

Mostly true. However. Trump could demand that Europe should lay off all aid as much and as long as he will. Europe is not inclined to ever accept his words on any subject. He has already in his first period alienated himself from Europe way too much for that.

The 73% of aid being from US was in the first year of the war. EU has stepped up massively since. As of right now (correct me if I got the wrong figures), EU has committed about $155 billion and US about $175 billion. Add in non-EU European countries like the UK, Norway, etc, and the aid split will come close to about 50-50.

[@NathanDean79]

The US navy has a surface to air missile that is even better than Patriot. It’s part of the Aegis system and the missile is called the SA-6. It can shoot down literally anything including hypersonic weapons. The Patriot can and has shot down hypersonic weapons. I’m not talking about just the Russian Kinzal, which isn’t a hypersonic weapon, but Russias actual hypersonic missile i forgot The name of it the Patriot shot one down about 30 Days ago. So everything Russia does is sub par compared to western technology. Our ATACMs missiles destroy their surface to air Systems the S-300 and S-400 practicly every day lol.

[@DarrelJones-fh2wx]

There was plans at one time to make a land based Aegis system.

[@mrjerzheel]

No evidence has been provided that Ukraine has shot down a single Kinzhal missile or any hypersonic. If Atacms are so great Russia wouldnt have any air defence at all, but they clearly do

[@gregoryadair3223]

Every president since Truman has pointed out that Europe should pay more for its own security. I'm American and I assure you that Trump's (rather rude) comment about this during his presidency was entirely unoriginal. Obama was blunt a couple of times saying the same thing. Trump just repeated a common belief of the American electorate when he said "they" are "ripping us off". At some level most Americans agree. And depending on which European country we mean, it is more or less true. I had an argument with a friend in Italy last year who began complaining about American hegemony, control of their security, blah blah blah... I had heard it before. I recommended he vote for the Italian party which urges quitting NATO and providing entirely for their own national defense. (There is no such party). He was quiet after that.

[@SuperRede4u]

Ironically though the only time that NATO came to a nations defence (under the treaty) was during 911 when EU countries answered the call to help the USA. Not saying that everyone can't do more. When you look at some of the smallest EU / NATO countries like Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania they are (by GDP) providing the most support to Ukraine. It's a fools folly when you get into silly arguments over who's doing the most or x country is the biggest supporter. As long as each nation is contributing to the effort I'm fine with that. There's so many incalculable things that go into the day by day events that unfold in the Ukrainians lives many of which are by unselfish people who wish to be anonymous but are trying their best to make a difference. FWIW.

[@yurik383]

You mean, that Europe should stop buying Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon hardware and use the money on their own military complex? Well, the F-35 program would be even more expensive than it was, there wouldn’t be such a demand for M1 Abrams which in turn would narrow GM profits and decrease factory employment. I totally agree with you, but the Europeans wouldn’t spending so much in their military anyway, so not only we would be in a better industrial shape also US economy would pay a toll on decreased demand. Also, UK, Sweden, France, Germany and Italy would love. Our Next-Gen program is only waiting for the funding to be drew away from F-35

[@carthagonova4132]

II think it's less about the army and more about nuclear weapons. Without the USA all EU countries would start needing them,and that's not only a cost but also a risk.
