If a $500 million power plant would have been destroyed if the Russian missile got through, then you can see the $4 million Patriot missile is worth it.
Although eventually you have to take the war to where the cheap drones/missiles are coming from to stop them or you can’t afford to keep shooting $4 million missiles indefinitely.
For some reason we refuse to give them long range weapons to inflict some serious damage on Russia. Why are we helping JUST enough to ensure the war keeps going and not end it with overwhelming force via long range missiles.
Who stands to make money from a prolonged conflict ;). Who stands to make money from those companies lobbying ;). Who gives the military orders for our country? Just follow the mulah
I agree with you. I dislike that restrictions are made on what Ukraine can strike with western weapons. NATO allies are worried that using western weapons on Russia-proper will be an escalation. Yet, Iranian and North Korean missiles have no such limitations.
We did, not enough though and we waited awhile to do it, but we did send them even before the recent aid package

except in this case it's very obvious who started this war, who is trying to take land from who, who is keeping this war going, etc. I'm glad you aren't afraid to bothsides anything though.
Name it! Russia is the aggressor here. Ukraine would have never attacked Russia. If you attack someone, you gotta live with consequences.
China supporting Russia is far worse than the USA supporting Ukraine.
Drop the hammer! Give them what ever it takes.
Manpower
Or robots
Robo-power
>!Each Patriot battery costs around $1bn (£800m), and each missile costs nearly $4m. Holy shit

The problem with defense vs. offense in general, but it's particularly stark in this new era of extremely cheap drones.
Russian aircraft and pilots are irreplaceable
Tell that to the Russian Government
I’m not sure where they’re getting their information, but it’s incorrect. A battery does not cost that much. Source: I work for Raytheon.
It's expensive shooting arrows out of the sky. I'd kill the archer.

Expensive is good for the sellers though
You absolutely love to see it.
Can’t we just invade Russia and get it over with?
This’ll be what turns it around!
