... statistics issue. Keep in mind, just for understanding what is going on--UK produces the best AD missile Europe managed to develop, Aster-30, at a rate of ... one per month. France and Germany do not fare much better.
PARIS, July 13 (Reuters) - Ukraine and key Western allies on Monday announced an air-defence coalition that would include jointly developing a new anti-ballistic missile system as an alternative and cheaper solution to the U.S. Patriot system. With Ukraine increasingly exposed to Russian ballistic missiles, leaders gathered in Paris for a summit, where 10 countries, along with about a dozen firms from the defence sector, met to press on with what they called the Integrated Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition.
Considering a very low professional level of European militaries and R&D sector, apart from economic woes, it is difficult to explain that wholesale damage to NATO stooge in 404 is produced by what is called combined (комбинированные) strikes which include in themselves (in fact--majority) such means as drones, cruise missiles (including hypersonic 3M22 Zircon and supersonic P-800 Oniks) AND what amounts to quasi-ballistic maneuvering Iskanders.
Europe has neither technology nor capability to do anything about it and so the whole "plan" here is for Europe to drown herself in debt and then start buying crappy American systems such as Patriot PAC3. SAMP-Ts, this euro AD complex was produced in "massive" numbers such as ... ahem ... 15 (fifteen) in total. So, well ... this is called defeat and Russians, contrary to Mearsheimer's amateurish concepts of "quick victory", will continue steam-roll NATO's arsenal while choking any attempt, however delusional, on narrowing the gap. Zugzwang.
