19.04.23. US Navy Will Spend $200 Billion—Equal to Ukraine's GDP—on Subs It Barely Uses
08.02.24 Kyiv will have to get creative. It can't waste time and money trying to replicate the multibillion-dollar systems of sophisticated surface vessels, submarines, and aircraft that Western navies use to hunt enemy submarines.

strana | "Kiev's air defense is ending." Bild expert says 5 Russian missiles hit the Artyom weapons factory in Kiev - video(09.07.24)
This is what Bild military expert Julian Repke writes, analyzing the video of a missile strike on the Ukrainian capital, which is in the public domain. This military factory is located across the street from Lukyanovskaya metro station. In Ukraine, a hit on it was not officially reported.
"Not only two hospitals were hit yesterday. These images show how five (!) Russian cruise missiles hit the Artem ammunition plant in the capital of Ukraine. As I feared yesterday, the air defense of Kiev is coming to an end," commented Repke on the attack. The densest air defense barrier over the capital was penetrated by the Russians with a relatively small number of missiles. Based on this, we can assume that, despite the supply of Western defensive weapons, which has been going on for more than a year, air defense is still not enough to reliably cover even the capital.
