Headline: Russian Attack on Kyiv Hospital Highlights Ukraine's Needs as NATO Summit Begins - July 8, 2024 | By Jim Garamone, DOD News Excerpt: The Russian attack in Ukraine today that hit a Kyiv children's hospital highlights the need to continue to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin and get support to Ukraine, Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said today. The attack came as the NATO summit in Washington is set to begin, marking 75 years of the alliance. Ryder called NATO "the greatest defensive alliance in history" and said Russia's invasion of Ukraine will be a focus of the discussions. Read on Defense[dot]Gov: https://lnkd.in/gCAcqZX6 ❗ My Note: Personally I have been calling for the reinforcement of the Ukrainian air and missile defense formations since prior the Ukrainian counter offensive. For over a year now, we have been reporting the weakness of the Ukrainian air and missile defense systems as we were observing the integration of the drones and ballistic missiles in the Russian war doctrine. you can refer to the major collection of the report here: [ https://lnkd.in/gfNXfmSt ]. It is paramount to understand that the Russian VKS (aerospace forces) must be collectively grounded and deterred by establishing an aggressive area air defense plan in order to secure the air defense zones with an offensive formation consisting of adequate Mass and Mixture to achieve an acceptable kill ratio. Donating 1 or 10 Patriot batteries alone will not aid Ukraine, The HIMAD configurations alone would not aid Ukraine defending it's airspace and securing its critical assets. Read More [ https://lnkd.in/dhUgHEnU ] The shift of strategy of the Russian army prior to their offensive, as States in the collective links above, has been to target Ukrainian Supply routes, field depots and to actively hunt Ukrainian air and missile defense systems in order to push Ukrainian AMD back, force the reconfiguration with inadequte mass and mixture in order to create blind spots in the Ukrainian air defense zone in favor of creating a conditional air superiority pushing for an absolute air superiority in the theater. As Ukraine is losing the capability to adapt to these harsh conditions, Russia will introduce ballistic missiles and more saturation attacks to the theater. Russia will keep hunting for the components of the Ukrainian AMD in order to maintain its asymmetrical air and missile attack capabilities. The Russian VVS will be capable of conducting its sorties with impunity. Ukraine requires support to bolster its AMD capabilities.

Adib 😊 Politics always overshadows military necessity. I believe our clear identity of the situation and obvious solution has provided allcon with clarity for over a year. The situation in the 🇺🇸 has changed and hopefully we've see some NATO MOVEMENTthis week. Your FRIEND BARRY

Perhaps MG Ryder would clarify his comment about continuing to deter Russia and Putin. Without a clear strategy that leads to Ukraine's victory, Putin is not being deterred. It would appear that Putin has been deterring NATO.
