With $60.8 billion in fresh US aid, Ukraine hopes to withstand a looming Russian offensive. The package prioritizes long-range missiles and air defense systems, which are crucial to counter Russia’s overwhelming firepower.

Consistent reports of GPS interference have plagued Finland, Poland, the Baltic states, and the Baltic Sea. This poses a significant threat to civilian aviation and regional military security. Suspicions point to Russia's Kaliningrad exclave as the source of these disruptions.

Iskander, Kalibr, Zircon: Russia employs a dozen different types of missiles to bombard Ukrainian territory, ranging from modern weaponry to remnants from Soviet times. Ukraine needs support in shooting them down.

Weapons created more than two decades ago by the Soviet Union still pose a threat to civilians in Ukraine today. But Russia doesn’t seem too bothered by that.

Iranian Shahed drones are cheap, fast, and deadly. But it’s not just Iran that uses and produces them, it’s also Russia—giving Ukraine plenty of opportunity to get pretty good at shooting them down. But how are they made? How much damage do they cause? And why are they used so widely?

According to the Institute for the Study of War, the lack of air defense systems is allowing Russia to make small, but steady strategic gains.
