Seeing the interception rate by Israel against hundreds of drones and missiles (ballistic and cruise)...I'm not sad that they managed to intercept so many, I'm just a bit annoyed to witness Israel's incredible AD during a period where Ukraine is hugely struggling, fighting for its life, struggling with each missile attack, vital energy infrastructures being blown up, cities being bombed regularly...
I know Israel had help from UK, France, America and Jordan and Ukraine is massively, massively, bigger than Israel but still...We can do a lot more for Ukraine, we have the equipment, we have the technology, Israel has such an incredible AD thanks in part to the West helping them, I just don't feel the same enthusiasm from the West when it comes to Ukraine, just a few ADs here and there.
If the US, France & the UK put their air forces in harm’s way to defend Israeli civilians against Iranian drone & missile attacks, when Israel already has the world’s best anti-aircraft & anti-missile defences, shouldn’t they do the same for Ukraine, which really needs the help?
