Not technically but in practice yes. Worse than the Cold War for sure.We are at war.
By ‘technically’ I assume you mean by applying a 20th Century yardstick.Not technically but in practice yes. Worse than the Cold War for sure.
Well the Falklands war wasn't technically a war either.By ‘technically’ I assume you mean by applying a 20th Century yardstick.
A cobination of things I think.
1. Swedish AWACS properly integrated into Ukrainian Air defence.
2. New German Iris-T shipments have arrived and have been deployed
3. UK LMM GtoA missisile launchers covering a lot more of Ukraine's cities as well as front line assets.
4. Patriot missile stocks have increased from the US. Very late but they have arrived. Nowt to do with Trump (except the delay of course) - part of last years approved shipments.
5. Ukraine’s anti-drone drones starting to be delivered in larger quantities.
Great news.Looks like the Swedish AWACS was the reason the F16 did well the other day too.
Ukraine unexpectedly wins air battle, F-16 shoots down Russian Su-35, — BILD
The battle took place over northeastern Ukraine. Ukrainian Air Force sent a fighter jet to attack Russian positions in the Kursk region. In response, the Russians raised an Su-35.
However, the Russian pilot was ambushed because a Swedish Saab 340 AWACS aircraft took off with the F-16, find Russian aircraft 300 km from the border, transmitted the coordinates to the F-16 pilot.
The American fighter fired an AIM-120 missile, and the Su-35 was shot down 16 km from the border near Korenevoye in the Kursk region.
Indeed, the Swedish AWACS system, which can detect Russian aircraft hundreds of kilometers away, neutralized the advantage that the radars on the Russian Su had in terms of range.
