Patriot or Aster: can Europe shield Ukraine this winter?
Original: Patriot ou Aster : l’Europe peut-elle protéger l’Ukraine cet hiver ? # Ukraine # PatriotPAC3 # Aster30 # DéfenseAntiaéri
Debate is growing in Europe over which air-defence system should protect Ukraine through the winter: the American Patriot PAC-3 or the European Aster 30. As Russian strikes target Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure, questions centre on whether European countries can supply enough interceptors and batteries in time to keep Ukraine's skies covered.
Why now: Russian winter attacks on Ukrainian cities are renewing pressure on Europe to commit air-defence systems.
