Well, Ukraine is, by necessity, the leader in defending against drone attacks.

Ukraine wants more Patriot air defense missiles in exchange. A reasonable deal.

Certainly one which could have occurred to America prior to a few thousand of them flying over Ukraine.

Patroits are not for shahed interceptions, that's a losing financial equation. They are used for the iskanders and hypersonic like missiles

You have to shoot back with what you've got that's in the right place.

Not always, both Ukraine and Israel make judgement calls in practice.

The point is it takes an enormous fucking ball sack to refuse help to Ukraine in their hour of need while Iranian drones are raining down on their citizens and then when we need some help to ask them for their expertise

Just history-textbook level gall.

Oh shoot, sorry! Well. As always, "Russian warship, go fuck yourself"

my bad too :]

This is too cool. Thanks for supporting them.

What is history-textbook gall is denying your benefactor a modicum of assistance. We have given them more than enough aid to get whatever help we asked for (which was probably negligible anyway).

Useless if there isn't any amo left for them.
