Trump stated that he has almost made a decision on transferring Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.
Member of the Ukrainian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, Yegor Chernev, also shared details known to him about possible missile supplies to Ukraine:
Since the US perceives this step as an escalation, they will proceed in stages:
first, a decision;
then, the possible delivery of several missiles for limited use—for targets authorized by the US;
then, an expansion of their range;
then, an increase in quantity.
The US is also considering deliveries of new Barracuda missiles from Anduril, with a range of over 900 km and a 45 kg warhead. Will this be a counterpart to Ukraine's long-range drones and missile-drones?
Ukraine has begun shooting down Shaheeds with French Thales mini-missiles. According to Business Insider, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are using 70mm Thales missiles with FZ123 warheads. The missiles are designed to be launched from helicopters and have a range of approximately 3 km. When detonated, the charge scatters thousands of small metal balls within a 12-meter radius, effectively destroying both individual drones and swarms of drones. How do these mini-missiles perform? Is this a worse solution than scaling up interceptor drones?
Defensemirror reports that the Netherlands has launched large-scale production of ground and air drones and military batteries for its own army and Ukraine. Ukroboronprom has also agreed to cooperate with the US, Spain, and Romania. Does the growth of such production in the EU make it impossible to defeat Ukraine? The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has unveiled a new, previously unknown version of the Neptune cruise missile. The new modification has distinctive visual features, including two lateral bulges. Another version of the Ukrainian missile, the long Neptune, was demonstrated in August. What do these modifications indicate? The Ukrainian Navy also reported more than 50 strikes on Russian targets using R-360 Neptune cruise missiles last year. Why did the Neptune become potbellied?
Russian troops have intensified the decommissioning of infantry fighting vehicles at the 111th Central Tank Reserve Base in the Kostroma Region. A new satellite image, published by military analyst Jompy, shows significant changes at the base. The image shows that infantry fighting vehicles are being actively removed from the base. Does Russia want to burn the last armored vehicles in Ukraine? How effective will the use of armored vehicles be against EU countries? On Monday, the Indra-2025 Russian-Indian military exercises began at the Mahajan training ground in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Who are India and Russia planning to fight against?
