#Ukraine #defence - EU states discuss air protection zone 'Sky Shield' for Ukraine | DW News

6 March 2925

European military experts have presented a plan that could offer Ukraine protection from Russian missile and drone attacks. Called 'Sky Shield,' it involves deploying a European force of 120 fighter jets to protect Kyiv and western Ukraine from Russian air strikes.

The initiative proposes covering three of Ukraine's operating nuclear power plants and the cities of Odesa and Lviv, but not the frontline or Ukraine's east. Its authors stress that Sky Shield would be an explicitly Europe-led air protection zone operated separately from NATO.

#Ukraine - Russian Jets Can (could) no Longer FLY OVER Ukraine - New TOP-SECRET Weapon Reveals: Oracle Eyes

From https://www.youtube.com/@OracleEyes41

30 December 2024

How can Ukraine prevent the Russian invasion? This question has been on the agenda for nearly 3 years. Kiev has tried almost everything. Tanks, armored vehicles, air defense systems, weapons, grenades and even fighter jets have arrived from the West. The Ukrainian army used all these resources to try to stop the invasion by Russian forces. These attempts, of course, did not end the war completely, but now Russia is in a position to ask even North Korea for troops. The casualty figures of the Russian army exceeded 700 thousand. Tank losses are over 3,000. Now Ukraine aims to throw the last punch. With the development of technology, Ukrainians are aware that the key to the solution is less costly air defense systems and much newer inventions. The Kiev regime is also looking to push its military spending in this direction. In recent days, there has even been talk that the Ukrainians have designed a system that can destroy Russian missiles and drones at almost zero cost. So what is this system? What trump card are Ukrainian forces planning to bring to the front lines to end this war?

The Trident missile is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV).
