c) USA:

ATACMS mit mehr Reichweite

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.

d) Großbritannien:

British-made Banshee drone found near Russian 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.
