Russian invasion of Ukraine



The new speaker is generally in support of Ukraine aid. just seems to want to get some audit trails.

Speaker Announcement
We cannot allow Putin to prevail in Ukraine, because I don't believe it would stop there. And it would probably empower and encourage China to prehaps make a move on Taiwan.

Its a risk but Ukraine need to get some decent anti air into Kherson. one of the main things that are causing damage are Russian Gliding bombs. the big ones get dropped from 25 miles away ( smaller at 35/45 miles apparently )

If the Ukrainans could get a patriot system into Kherson it would be able to take out planes dropping the big bombs. the smaller bombs are at the max range of Patriot so its boarder line they could stop those being dropped.

Edit. if they have PAC-2 then its more like 99 miles for coverage, if they have that, and want to take the risk of getting it to Kherson they could provide a lot of cover from bombers. but its at risk currently from Artilary etc.

This should be interesting Ukrainian drones are swarming everywhere on that front.
