  • France makes groundbreaking promise

    From Joseph Pereira@1:124/5016 to All on Tuesday, January 13, 2026 06:45:27
    France announced that its brand-new anti-missile air defense system will also be sent to Ukraine immediately upon production. This will be the first time Ukraine will have access to literally the latest Western technology to counter Russian missiles.

    France is doing this completely independently of NATO.

    This system is reportedly also capable of destroying the Russian Oreshnik missile. It was specifically developed for this purpose. However, this system cannot simply protect all of Ukraine. It can, however, protect large cities. An action like the Oreshnik on Lviv could be prevented if the system is deployed there.

    This system is said to be even better than the American Patriot. This could mean that Europe will no longer be dependent on the exorbitantly expensive and currently hard-to-find American products.
