Western Air Defense Arrives in Ukraine: Too Little, Too Late

Nov 8, 2022

Ukraine's deteriorating air defenses are a much larger problem than the Western media is admitting.

- Ukraine boasts of receiving NASAM systems from the US;

- NASAMS have inferior spects compared to Ukraine’s dwindling supply of S-300s;

- Western analysts admit that if the West cannot resupply/replace Ukrainian air defense systems, Russia will be able to establish air superiority over the country;

- Western analysts also admit that the West is incapable of resupplying or replacing Ukraine’s air defense systems.
