Sobering math. Guess this is why supporting Ukrainian strikes on Russian defense factories that make components for Iskanders and Kinzhals would be the most effective European investment in its own missile defense.
Following public demand, I sat down and ran the numbers for Patriot and SAMP/T interceptor production in the United States and Europe, both for 2025 and looking ahead. The picture is clear: the math ain't mathing when it comes to Europe’s denial-based missile defense strategy.

Compounding this chaos is the fact that Russia now routinely disables mobile internet to interfere with Ukrainian drone navigation — which means that stranded travelers can’t use their phones to get online.
Chaos in Russian airports as hundreds of flights are delayed or canceled because of Ukrainian drones. As Ukrainians see it, no reason why Russian civil aviation should function as long as Ukrainians can’t fly. (The last commercial flight in Ukraine was on Feb. 23, 2022.)

RT @LucasFoxNews: I asked President Trump if he plans to send Patriot missiles to Ukraine. “We might. We're looking at it,” he replied.

“We spoke about opportunities in air defense and agreed that we will work together to strengthen protection of our skies. We have also agreed to a meeting between our teams.” .🔴 Seems like it went well. But let’s see what happens next🚀.
I had a very important and fruitful conversation with @POTUS. I congratulated President Trump and the entire American people on the US Independence Day. We - in Ukraine - are grateful for all the support provided. It helps us protect lives, safeguard our freedom and

Dude never heard of Chopin, Apollinaire and Marie Curie clearly….
“What do we the French have in common with Poland? Do they even have potatoes in Poland?” The French far left (this is a prominent lawmaker) is really vaunting its ignorance as a virtue. Global trend sadly.

Putin hung up with Trump, pondered traditional values in cinema, and ordered one of the war’s biggest barrages targeting Kyiv civilians.
Putin and Trump had a call, again. Per Russian readout, Trump called for a ceasefire, Putin said Russia first needs to achieve the goals of the “special military operation,” Trump didn’t object and then they talked about cooperation in promoting “traditional values” in movies.
