Large blast reportedly damaged buildings in Russian city just over the border from Ukraine
“There is no silver bullet but I do think the M1 tank, when it is delivered and reaches its operational capability, will be very effective on the battlefield,” he added alongside Mr Austin at the Ramstein air base in Germany where Friday’s meeting took place.
“The task is to control the airspace, and how you control that airspace can be done in many, many different ways. The most cost-effective and efficient and…fastest way to do that for Ukraine is air defence,” Gen Milley said, referring to ground-based missile systems. “That is the most important, critical military task right now, and that was the theme of this entire day: air defence, air defence, air defence,” he added.
“Right now, what we all believe Ukraine needs most urgently is ground-based air defence capability…it is what is most important in the current fight and in the immediate future,” Mr Austin said. “We have to make sure the Ukrainians have the ability to protect their infrastructure and citizens, but also their troops if they are manoeuvring.”
