Also part of the 12 aircraft will be weapons package including Meteor.

Meteor is arguably the best long-range A2A missile for Ukraine’s specific scenario: a low-flying shooter engaging a higher-altitude Russian aircraft. Unlike AMRAAM, which rely on a single-pulse rocket motor and then coast, Meteor’s throttleable ramjet provides sustained thrust deep into the engagement. That means it retains far more energy during an uphill shot. Meteor also has greater range than early AMRAAM C variants under optimal launch conditions.

>you banks, will now write off 140k debt from every zigga and his wife (280k)

>And yeah, guys, by the way, you’ll need your own Air Defence

This is substantively accurate, even if the exact year fluctuates slightly depending on which specific statistical model is used. Some project the change earlier

All good then, shit happens. To be fair, what can you do. Even if the drone was launched deliberately into Romania, it will always be justified this way– therefore Russia can confidently launch one or two into Romania and Baltics here and there, from time to time, with no repercussions
