Україна Ukraine

It is difficult to watch Ukraine support Israel, given their battle against occupation. Historically though, nations facing their destruction often have to go to bed with the devil. See the allies being cozy with Stalin.

Ngl probably for the best they didn't get iron dome; It isn't that effective against ballistic missiles (Which Russia has used extensively in Ukraine). The former was proven last week when Iran bypassed the iron dome with some of their older missiles.

Against Scuds and other dumb artillery it's fine but those munitions are much cheaper than an iron dome missile, so ROI is poor when your adversary has an economic advantage already.

The Iranian attack cost Iran $35million when Israel alone spent over a billion in missiles to fail at defending the primary target of Ramon airbase. Not only that, but the static nature of Iron dome meant that Hezbollah has now effectively shut down air defence in Israel's North.

It works well for Israel's case where Iron Dome is a propaganda tool (and thus the cost of interceptions isn't an issue) and effectively nullifies the threat of cheap improvised munitions against a relatively static enemy, but Russia's arsenal and doctrine is far from improvised nor static.
