c) USA:
Zitat:ATACMS mit mehr Reichweitehttps://www.focus.de/politik/ausland/ukr...85007.html
USA planen wohl Lieferung von Langstreckenraketen an die Ukraine
Die US-Regierung von Joe Biden arbeitet offenbar daran, der Ukraine ATACMS-Raketen mit mehr Reichweite zu liefern. Das würde der Ukraine neue Möglichkeiten auf der Krim eröffnen. Doch der lange Schatten von Donald Trump könnte die Pläne auch zunichtemachen. [...] Taktische Langstreckenraketensysteme würden der Ukraine vor allem ermöglichen, weiter in das Innere der von Russland gehaltenen Halbinsel Krim vorzudringen. [...]
Allerdings bleibt die Finanzierung der Lieferung solcher Systeme ein Problem im US-Kongress. Vor allem Ex-Präsident Donald Trump und dessen republikanische Verbündete versuchen Geldmittel für solche Waffenlieferungen zu blockieren. Das Weiße Haus äußerte sich auf Anfrage von „ NBC News “ bisher nicht.

Zitat:British-made Banshee drone found near Russian position [...]https://defence-blog.com/british-made-ba...-position/
Russian sources claim it was a suicide drone downed by their air defense systems, although no signs of missile or anti-aircraft fire damage are evident in the published footage.
The MQM-185B, manufactured by the UK-based QinetiQ, is an aerial target drone designed to simulate realistic threat scenarios during military exercises. With a maximum altitude of 30,000 feet, it can mimic low-level sea skimming and terrain following, providing a lifelike adversary for training purposes.
