Mr Starmer, cutting off dodgy foreign aid is one thing, but the *existing* UK and European defence budgets would go FAR further if we invested in vast numbers of drones (aerial, ground, naval) and got the Baltic Defence Line built ASAP.

One of my biggest fears with a trade war against China, other than the economic impact in our country is the international show of support China will receive if they're perceived as a victim—and I think that's likely.

That will not help us if we end up in a hot war defending Taiwan. It's very bad!

Ukraine needs at least another 10 Patriot systems to cover all of Ukraine and to shoot down Russian ballistic missiles. AIUI it's the only system able to shoot down these missiles.

Mr Starmer, please give Ukraine loads of these to take out Russian jamming equipment:

Taking out Russian GPS jammers and drone datalink jammers would help Ukraine enormously.

Europe needs to give Ukraine long-range missiles to hit targets deep inside Russia. Missiles such as:

and the LCM missile:

Why does Ukraine, after 3 years of war, still not have drones to take out Russian jamming equipment??????

Ukraine could do with thousands of these drones - they would make a HUGE difference:

Why does Ukraine still not have any drones to autonomously take out Russian air defence radars and jamming equipment? Such tech already exists. Why doesn't Ukraine have it 3 years into the war???

The Drone Coalition needs to flood Ukraine with millions of drones to take out a wide range of targets: Russian tanks & other armoured vehicles, gun artillery, rocket artillery, air defence systems and jamming equipment.

With enough drones Ukraine could win the land war.

As the famous saying goes, prevention is better than cure.

Therefore it makes sense for the Baltic Defence Line & the Polish East Shield to be built as fast as possible, ideally in months.

A decade is utterly ridiculous considering the risks:

Ukraine would greatly benefit from capability that would enable it to destroy Russian jamming equipment.

For example:

Ukrainian F-16s need stand-off missiles to hit ground targets. Missiles such as:
- JASSM
- JASSM-ER
- SLAM-ER (which Turkish F-16s carry)
- Storm Shadow
- SCALP-EG
- And ideally Taurus if a new German Chancellor is in favour of providing it

Ukrainian F-16s need to be fitted with BriteCloud decoys, which is an easy upgrade since they can fit in standard chaff dispensers. This would make the F-16s much more survivable when carrying out SEAD/DEAD missions using HARM missiles.

Ukraine needs the ability to take out the following but with a man in the loop:
- Air defence systems (SAM & SHORAD systems)
- Jamming equipment (GPS jammers & datalink jammers)
- Aircraft on the ground
- Iskander launchers
- Shahed launchers
- Recon drone launchers
- Subs & ships in port

If Trump continues with this Greenland thing, I expect Denmark will stop buying American gear. Its frigates use SM-2, ESSM, Harpoon and MH-60R helicopters. I expect Denmark will stop buying this stuff and start buying European equivalents.
January 26, 2025 at 6:16 PM
This whole Greenland thing is very scary. Seems to me that Denmark needs to quickly put some land-launched anti-ship missiles on the island. If it doesn't already have any, it needs to get hold of some ASAP. Brimstone missiles could also be used against landing craft.
January 26, 2025 at 6:09 PM
What do you think Ukraine most needs to end the war as quickly as possible?
January 16, 2025 at 7:57 PM
The Drone Coalition needs to help Ukraine with *huge* numbers of long-range drones to hit targets deep inside Russia. The aid could be in the form of money, technical assistance, manufacturing capacity (including 3D printing), jam-immune navigation, etc, etc.
January 16, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Why, almost three years into the war, does Ukraine still not have anti-radiation loitering munitions or home-on-jam loitering munitions?

The former could autonomously take out Russian air defence systems and the latter could autonomously take out Russian jamming equipment.
January 16, 2025 at 4:16 PM
The west needs to employ Growlers and Super Hornets with AARGM-ER against Russian S-300/S-400 systems.

The west needs to fly Eurofighters, Rafales and Gripens (all with Meteor missiles) in Ukrainian airspace to either shoot down Russian aircraft (especially MiG-31s and Su-35s) or to deter them from flying in the first place.

Biden, give Ukraine land-launched Tomahawks to hit targets deep inside Russia. Give them PrSM missiles to launch from HIMARS launchers. Give them JASSM missiles to launch from F-16s (and MALD decoys). Give them SLAM-ER missiles (Turkish F-16s use SLAM-ER).

And get some damn anti-radiation & home-on-jam drones into service dammit. 3 years into the war and no such capability???? Ludicrous.
