There is no logical military stance for this so there is no explanation.

Even IF Russia gets pushed back beyond the border, they'll just spend the next 50 years lobbing missiles at Ukraine, thus ensuring that Ukraine is never accepted into NATO because there's still an active conflict.

It's also more cost effective to use a missile on the jets that fire the missiles rather than the missiles themselves but doesn't seem nobody cares about that either, it is way more expensive to only be shooting down the missiles.

Wars cannot be won through defence only, the best defence is a good offence, kill the archer than the arrow.

Biden/Scholz/Macron/Keir don't understand basic military knowledge or don't care.

The problem is that journalists also never ask the needed questions in interviews or just swallow answers which are often about something different and instead of saying "you still didn't give an answer to the question" they just accept it in interviews. Politicians often answer to question with a lot of words which in the end didn't really answer the initial question and I almost never see journalist simply not accepting that answer and insisting to get something which really is a true answer (good or not).

But I guess journalists also fear that they will never be able to talk to that politician again if they would really push them in an interview but this shit is exactly the reason why politicians talk crap the whole day and nobody does something against it. 

Just fucking ask "Mr Scholz, how is Ukraine supposed to win the war just with defending against incoming missiles but without destroying the machines which shoot them" and as long as he doesn't answer this properly then ask him again and let him look stupid when he will just end the interview lol. 

I definitely agree with you two however I also wish that a workable middle ground could be achieved so that ukraine would have use of these weapons to a greater degree. Perhaps a EU panel consisting of several nations could be set up to ensure that commonly accepted military ethics were being followed.
