After the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the West was reluctant to send troops, only to provide support, and now the assistance is seriously insufficient, making people wonder: Who can save Ukraine? A rather worrying prospect, Ukraine cannot survive without strong support.
The battle is not good
Now that Western aid is not strong, there are many phenomena of pushing and blocking, and the United States is trying to fool other countries into playing the main force. Paul Corbe, who is currently the director of the intelligence program at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School, who worked for the CIA for 25 years, published an article on March 17 that overturned Turkey, claiming that only turkey could provide the S400, and then called on the United States to exchange the F35 and deliver the S400 system to Ukraine against the Russian Air Force.
The Ukrainian S-300 became the target
The former U.S. intelligence officer believes that Turkey's handing over the S400 system to Ukraine can benefit many parties, on the one hand, Turkey gets rid of the S400 system, which will also lift the dispute with the United States, the United States can supply Turkey with F35 fighters, on the other hand, Ukraine can get the S400 system to use against the Russian army.
Give advice to the Turks
Unfortunately, in the current situation, Turkey does not dare to accept such a request. Prior to this, the United States asked other NATO countries to deliver the S300 system in their hands to Ukraine, and no country was willing, among them: Greece made it clear that it would not hand over the S300 in its hands to Ukraine. Everyone understands that the military aid to Ukraine is only a little bit of meaning, and no one has provided any good things, especially the main battle equipment cannot be given; who gives it to who is the "wronged boss", the United States is unwilling to assume the responsibility of providing main battle equipment to Ukraine, and other countries are even less interested. Other countries even provide old S300 systems, why should they take the initiative to provide more advanced S400 systems?
To offend Russia to the death, there is no benefit to Turkey, Turkey's strategy is to meet the source left and right, trying to survive in the cracks between the United States and Russia, can not offend anyone too much, not too close to anyone, on the issue of Ukraine, Turkey can provide military assistance from a pro-US point of view, but will not take the risk, show its own prominent position, attracting strong hostility from Russia.
S300 for Greece
Even if Turkey had promised to provide it, it would not have changed any of the situation. The Russian army gives priority to attacking the Ukrainian Air Force, not only shooting down or blowing up a large number of Ukrainian fighters, but also destroying a large number of anti-aircraft missile systems, especially the S300 system, because this system is designed and manufactured for Russia, and it is an old and dilapidated model, causing the Russian army to deal with the S300 system very effectively, so that now the Ukrainian S300 is a target on the ground, there is almost no defensive counterforce, and the loss is very large.
The current overall situation is very unfavorable to Ukraine, and the air defense operations have been completely suppressed, that is, on the Turkish S400, it has also been slaughtered. This advantage is difficult to shake, and the S400 system will inevitably become the focus of the Russian army, and may be destroyed before it is in place. Turkey has a very limited number of S400 systems, and even if Ukraine can use them, it will not be able to play much role, which is not enough to change the current situation in the Ukrainian sky.
S400 for Turkey
Some people in the United States have put forward this kind of proposition, which is essentially a kind of foolishness, and there is no hope of success at all, and Turkey will not be so stupid, that is, to give Ukraine the impression that the West is fully supportive, covering up the reality that the West will not save Ukraine.
