Britain wants to help Ukraine with long-range weapons.

As Russia's attack on Ukraine is getting stronger and stronger, NATO has to strengthen its assistance. The United States provided Ukrainian patriots for the first time, and Britain also wanted to help Ukraine with long-range weapons. It seems that the conflict is escalating, and NATO dare not go to war with Russia directly. So why is the West so desperate to support Ukraine?

Zelensky turned to the West for help more than once, hoping that the United States could provide Patriot air defense missiles. After all, under the high-intensity air strikes in Russia, Ukraine can no longer hold on. As a matter of fact, Zelensky did it to herself when the Russian bombed Ukraine indiscriminately. After all, Ukraine took the lead in attacking the Crimea Bridge. Ukraine attacked the bridge with a truck bomb, which was equivalent to completely touching Russia's bottom line. So Russia will retaliate against Ukraine.

Russia's two-month air strikes on Ukraine have caused power outages throughout Ukraine, and the water supply systems in many cities have also been paralyzed, which means that the daily life of the Ukrainian people cannot be maintained. Previously, the mayor of Kiev called on local residents to leave the city and go to rural areas to escape the war. However, no place in Ukraine is safe now, even in the countryside, and it is impossible to escape the war.

So, can the United States save by providing patriots? Patriot air defense missile, as one of the most famous weapons in the world today, is widely equipped to the US military and its allies.

Moreover, in the Gulf War, patriots performed very well and successfully intercepted a large number of missiles from Iraq. After Ukraine gets this kind of anti-aircraft missile, its air defense strength will naturally be greatly improved.

However, Ukraine should not hold too much hope. On the one hand, Patriot air defense missiles are expensive, and the United States cannot provide too much, even Kiev's defense is not enough. On the other hand, Russia's missile technology is more advanced than the United States. Faced with more advanced missiles, can patriots intercept them?

Compared with the United States, Britain's plan to provide long-range missiles is more dangerous. Before Sunak visited Kiev, he reached an aid bill of 50 million pounds for Ukraine. Don't think that 50 million pounds of aid is a lot. If it is really implemented in Ukraine, you can only change some ammunition.

After all, modern and advanced weapons and equipment are very expensive, and the cost of a sulfur 2 missile that Britain intends to provide is as high as 65.438+0.7 million. You know, this kind of missile is to be consumed on a large scale on the battlefield. Even if Britain hollows out its property, it may not be enough for Ukraine to consume.

More crucially, if Britain really ignores Putin's warning, it will provide Ukraine with long-range weapons, causing harm to Russia's rear. Then, Putin's pre-emptive nuclear warning is definitely not just talk. By then, Britain will probably become the first western country to encounter Russian retaliation.
