Why Ukraine is pushing Putin’s red lines to the limit | Defence in Depth

Many western allies are so fearful of how Russia could respond to an escalation with Ukraine that they won’t allow certain donated weapon systems to be used further inside Russia.

Faced with the unending prospect of having to fight this war in a pair of golden handcuffs, Kyiv has decided to test Moscow’s limits by doing two things: invading Russia and developing its own fleet of ballistic missiles.

These tactics are being used because Ukraine wants to break the political logjam in Washington before November’s election, and tackle what it views as the somewhat stagnant position by the Kremlin.

Ukraine is ultimately testing just how firm Moscow’s so-called red lines are.

The Telegraph should give Dom this as a weekly show. Informative and entertaining.

My father was part of a US Army Corps of Engineers stationed in Germany. He planned hundreds of hard defense scenarios such as counter batteries and tandem air support strategies involving Appachies and Cobras with hardened field artillery and possible Russian invasions. He’d be gleeful.

Dom's the best. Take it easy on Francis, Dom. He knows, no better.

Don't be so proud red lines are being erased from existence. Both sides will respond more to each other as lines are erased.

The dam broke today at the NATO foreign ministers’ meeting, Dom. It will be Britain’s decision, and Denmark’s and Estonia’s. The dam has broken.

This is an intelligent presentation. Thanks for sharing this analysis.

Always worth the wait, the listen and time for reflection.

In the time of the Russian Empire, the largest company in Ukraine was YuzhMash (one of those acromyms, meaning Southern Mashingworks). They were an aerospace company. They made rockets and missiles for the Russians. They still make rockets and missiles -- and drones.

Personally, I am wondering how long until Ukraine tests a weapon. To avoid censorship, I won't say what type.
