It’s literally designed to make Ukraine dependent on the us military industrial complex. It took them forever to approve HIMARS, then the f-16s, because political red tape. Afaik, neither are bleeding edge, and designed more to encourage ‘hold the line’ strategies than ‘repel invaders’ ones. The drones seem to be the most effective, though with considerable shorter range and payload capacity. IANAME, any people more familiar with the topic?
If the Europeans get their act together, any result that reduces the us influence in these matters is a good thing IMO.
