MUNICH, Germany - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a speech on Friday that Ukraine still hasn't received the "David's Sling" from Israel to use "against Goliath," but he believes it's just a matter of time before the Israeli government sends it.
The big picture: The "David's Sling" is an Israeli-made air defense system that Ukraine has asked Israel for several times. Despite pressure, Israel has so far rejected most U.S. and Ukrainian requests to provide advanced and defensive weapons to Kyiv over concerns that such a move could create tension with Russia and harm Israeli security interests in Syria.
Driving the news: Zelensky met with Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen in Kyiv on Thursday.

• It was the first visit by an Israeli official to Kyiv since the Russian invasion began nearly a year ago.
• During his visit, Cohen said Israel will continue to help Ukraine in developing an early warning system that alerts civilians about incoming attacks.

What he's saying: In Friday's speech at the Munich Security Conference, Zelensky warned about Iran's involvement in helping Russia in the war. He suggested Russia may repay Iran for the drones it has delivered with weapons-grade enriched uranium.

• Continuing his push for greater military aid from the West, Zelensky also urged Ukraine's allies to "hurry up" with its support.
• "We need to hurry up. We need speed – speed of our agreements, speed of our delivery, speed of decisions to limit Russian potential. There is no alternative to speed because it is the speed that life depends on," Zelensky, speaking via video link, told conference attendees in Munich.
• "Delay has always been and still is a mistake," he added. "There is no alternative to Ukrainian victory... No alternative to Ukraine in the EU. No alternative to Ukraine in NATO."

Only needs "1" sniper single shot fired straight in the center of his HEAD.

At some point foreign leaders should start asking him "How are you gonna pay?"

He's paying enough, degrading Russia's military and status with 0 casualties from the West.

David's Sling is the best air defense system in this planet. It's also the future of the US air defenses, the PAAC-4.

I don't think Israel will give it to Ukraine, however, recent reports suggest that Russia sold Iran Su-35s, so that policy might change. I wouldn't be afraid of that, I would be afraid of Israel simply letting the European nations send their Israeli Spike missile systems to Ukraine. That would lead to the fall of Russia's armored/motorized/mechanized efforts.

No Armata/T-90M/Cope caged T-80/72 would withstand it,T62s.

You are smoking heavy stuff as usual.

The inheritance, the legacy, among the grandchildren of the tradition has been divided into three groups: the delirious great American group who are good Roman-Christian heirs of Caligula and Constantine, then we have the even more delirious group of Jabotinsky's children who founded "our colonial project" and biblical theme park for the enthusiasm of the foolish Roman-Christians, and then there is a tiny insignificant minority who are appalled by so much madness, so much ignorance, so much horror and so much barbarism.

But the curious thing is that the second group is more realistic than the first. We know that the Russian ruling class gives permission for the constant attacks on Syria. I would be very surprised if the Likud would allow itself to be dragged along by the State Department. But anything is possible in this beautiful planet and painful world.

That's why I don't want it to end up in Ukraine

usa can supply them they have 50 % stake in david sling the was part of the development and the money also she can give them

 

[Azadkashmir]

zelenski should also ask for g string and tampon.

Russian mechanised effort is dead. Russian reinforcement rate of 2 battalions per week more or less kept constant, but their armour resupply is only 10-20 vehicles per week, many times less than rate of losses.

I predict that at some point next summer, the war will start to look like WW1

 

[Foinikas]

Sorry,I had to make it

Zelensky already signed an agreement with Blackrock at the last WEF event.
