I'm currently absent from here and other social media because I'm finalizing my PhD dissertation, which takes priority amid all the chaos.
So don't be offended if I don't respond to you. I'll be back in full force in the new year 🙂

But it's frustrating, because with even a bit of research, they could have come up with a scenario that was both exciting enough for a movie and realistic. Instead, they went with one that makes no sense at all.

I published a new Missile Matters post, where I assess how badly Ukraine needs Tomahawk.
In my view, they do not represent a critical capability, and alternative options may be advantageous.

In PPP-adjusted terms, that's around 0.81 million USD. That's a good deal, so Russia has done a pretty good job keeping costs low.

This would position Taurus as the standard heavy ALCM in Ukraine’s arsenal, at least until a domestic alternative is developed.
That in itself may be a reason to take a more ambitious approach to reopening the Taurus production line.
A memorandum of understanding has been signed with Ukraine for the sale of up to 150 Gripen fighter jets

This is similar to the 2.1 billion euros reported by Spiegel 11 months ago for 600 missiles. The slight increase may reflect higher material costs or a somewhat larger number of missiles being ordered
