From@JanisTereskoThe Telegraph: “By 2027, British ships will feature 'DragonFire' laser weapons capable of shooting down drones and missiles. One shot from them costs only €12. In Ukraine, these weapons could start being used even earlier” https://t.co/aJfQOAXJ2L

@JurgisLiepnieks Exactly!
From@JurgisLiepnieksThe events of this night in Israel are very positive in many ways. 1) now nobody has any doubts that there exist technologies (also without those few known ones) that allow to successfully shoot down ballistic missiles and also in large quantities simultaneously, and even if hundreds of cruise missiles and drones attack at the same time. If Israel has these capabilities, so does NATO. The question is to produce enough. 2) technologically backward dictatorships are unable to do anything in a direct open conflict against technologically advanced countries. 3) If Israel responds to this (and I think yes, and with long-awaited joy and enthusiasm), Russia's ally - Iran will no longer be able to help Russia in any way. 4) Putin also sees and will see how outdated and powerless his technologies are in such a war. That will have a deterrent effect. 5) there is no risk of world war, there wasn't from the beginning, as I previously indicated, and there isn't now. 6) will it divert attention from Ukraine? Yes, most likely, and that is not good now when the Russians have started a big offensive, but it is unlikely to further negatively affect the US internal political dynamics on the Ukraine issue.

It serves as an inspirational model for Europe to emulate in terms of vision and ambition, especially in light of our shared climate commitments. 🇱🇻🇺🇸🇪🇺

From@nexta_tv❗️ The French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Stéphane Séjourne, stated that conversations with Russian officials are no longer in France's interests. Today, it is not in our interests to speak with Russian officials because the communiqués that are issued and the messages that are conveyed are lies, Le Monde quoted the minister.
