Der „klassische“ und recht barbarische Beschuss mit ballistischen Raketen. Die erste Welle kurz vor 22 Uhr, die zweite dann etwa um 3:30. Wie gesagt, ziemlich typisch für die Lage in Kyjiw zuletzt. Die Aufteilung dieser Angriffe auf vereinzelte Wellen dient auch der psychologischen Kriegsführung.

A look at where MBDA's missile programmes for long-range strike and air defence currently stand, based in large part on their press conference held during the EURONAVAL press trip.

corporalfrisk.comEuropean Missiles for Today’s (and Tomorrow’s) BattlefieldSince the Ukraine conflict escalated in 2022, demand for long-range strikes and air defenses has surged, positioning MBDA as a key supplier. The evolving missile portfolio includes the Deluge, NCM/LCM MK2, and STRATUS for collaborative strike, as well as Aster and HYDIS for addressing air defence needs, but production at scale remains challenging.

Serbien, Brasilien, Israel (maybe), USA: Es steht nicht geschrieben, dass der Marsch in den Autoritarismus immer weitergehen muss. Die Selbstzerstörung der Demokratie ist ein umkehrbarer Trend. Es gibt keinen permanenten "vibe shift". Der Ausgang des Kampf gegen den IIliberalismus ist offen.

This is important. Over the last few years, Putin had established 'unilateral deterrence': NATO was afraid to do things that might provoke him to use nukes, but he wasn't afraid of NATO's nukes. This is a step towards re-establishing the credibility of UK & FR nukes, regardless of what Trump does.
