After Russia launched a special military operation against Ukraine, the Western countries led by the United States continued to provide a large number of weapons and equipment to Ukraine, but these weapons and equipment were all made by Western countries, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, Stinger shoulder anti-aircraft missiles, but because the use of these individual weapons is relatively simple, so without more training for Ukrainian soldiers, they can be allowed to take weapons to the battlefield, but such as large air defense systems, fighter jets and other weapons, It is necessary to train soldiers a lot before they can be used on the battlefield, so NATO countries such as the United States are also powerless in the process of providing large air defense systems to Ukraine, because Ukraine has long used Soviet-made weapons.
Previously, the United States has asked countries in Europe with MiG-29 fighters like Ukraine to support this batch of MiG-29 fighters, but Poland is not willing to hand over to Ukraine for use, but to let this batch of MiG-29 fighters first hand over to the United States, and then let the United States give Ukrainian fighters, as a result, this batch of MiG-29 fighters did not reach Ukraine's hands, although this practice will make Poland lose the opportunity to use MiG-29 to replace F16 fighters, but Poland does not want to risk offending Russia. Now the United States is once again making new demands, and this demand is more like a family relationship with NATO members. It is understood that the United States requires more countries to supply Ukraine with Soviet-controlled anti-aircraft missiles, including S300, beech, SAM 6 anti-aircraft missiles.
According to the news reported by the US media, on March 15, the US State Department began to urge that the countries with S300, beech, SAM-6 provided, from the current point of view, the countries that have beech air defense missiles include Greece, the countries that have SAM-6 air defense missiles include Poland and the Czech Republic, and the S300 air defense missiles include Bulgaria, Slovakia and Greece, whether these countries will take their own belongings to support Ukraine, but also a question mark, because these missiles are the main air defense forces of NATO countries. Once these anti-aircraft missiles are lost, the air defense security of these countries will be threatened, and the United States has not proposed to replace patriot THREE.
At present, Russia has issued a clear warning, advising Western countries not to transport weapons and equipment to Ukraine, otherwise they will attack these weapons and equipment transport vehicles as legitimate military targets, and after saying this, Russia also used the Tu 160 strategic nuclear bomber to carry out a critical attack on the mercenary base in Ukraine, when a total of 12 missiles hit this base, presumably under russia's warning, these countries will not come up with their own Soviet-made anti-aircraft missiles.
If the past period of U.S. support for Ukraine's small arms and light weapons is regarded as a cannon fire, then now the demand for more countries to supply Ukraine with anti-aircraft missiles is on the one hand a diversion of contradictions, on the other hand, it also refers to the security of allies, especially Greece, some countries will not hand over their own missiles to Ukraine for use, because Greece also needs to import weapons and equipment from Russia. As we all know, NATO member Turkey has been equipped with S400 air defense missiles, and the strength of this type of air defense missile is beyond the S300 air defense missile, fortunately, the United States did not propose to let Turkey have an S400 air defense missile.
