Are they? Last I heard Sweden has drawn up requirements, and allocated exactly 0 budget nor timeline for them.

Saab has been drawing their own plans but without a budget and a project, it's all very theoretical.

Le mica peut intercepter un missile, c’est donc un missile anti-missile, l’aster peut l’intercepter, c’est en conséquence un missile anti-missile anti-missile

To be fair, the real argument is budget more than skillset.

Maintaining a nuclear arsenal and the vectors for a credible nuclear deterence is VERY expensive, and Ukraine also received a lot of foreign aid in exchange for that deal.

Doesn't absolve anything though. Security guarantees were trash.

Ukraine should be the ones to decide when and how they want to negociate. What right do we have to decide for them.

Azerbaijan are assholes but at least they're not vatnik assholes.

And hopefully they'll remain too worried about Russia to fuck around with Armenia again in the forseeable future.

« Le fascisme ne se lève pas comme la tempête en une nuit. Il est d’abord rampant, dissimulé, ordinaire. Il progresse par les voix de la haine, avivée par les difficultés économiques. Il s’empare des cœurs avant de pervertir les esprits puis de prendre le pouvoir. »
À méditer☝️.

Après ça aiderait si la France était équipée en pods roquettes 70mm pour ça, plutôt que le Galaxy Brained 68mm qu'on a de partout...

Also most militaries don't really like to mess around with the physical shape of a missile. Then you have to change all your missile tubes and/or your fighter hardpoints and clearance.

Ukraine is mostly rail-launching those so less of an issue.

European manufacturer Thales has developed a compact mini-missile to help counter Shahed-type attack drones — FZ123 warhead for the 70 mm missile is filled with thousands of tiny steel pellets and nearly one-kilogram charge. New system is already being deployed in Ukraine.

I wonder if the Ukrainians will get that one Greek Mirage 2000 that is the only aircraft to shoot down an F-16.

Good by Sweden's Minister of Finance, who battle propaganda about Russian economy.
Main points:
* RU inflation about 20%
* Liquid part of RU welfare fund not enough for deficit
* Intl inst (IMF et al) and media should not use data from RU
* All RU data likely false.

Your gentle reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14 and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it.

Là, c'est une autre affaire, mais un point très juste malgré tout.

Dans beaucoup de domaines, il y a moyen de rentrer dans les standards OTAN sans pour autant utiliser la techno US, mais la question des IP aime bien se glisser là dessous...
