Faced with the declining situation faced by Ukraine, the West has not completely given up, but is further increasing its aid to Zelensky. For example, the United States is planning to increase aid by 47 billion, and the European Union is also going to take out 18 billion euros to help Ukraine. With the West's vigorous assistance, Ukraine's bottom line has also increased greatly, and the New Year has just arrived with the bombing of 400 Russian troops. As the situation between Russia and Ukraine deteriorated, Putin also launched a corresponding counter-attack, announcing the mass production of drones to deal with Ukraine. In this issue, we analyze how the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will develop.
According to U.S. statistics, the total amount of weapons and equipment provided by the Western camp to Ukraine has exceeded $40 billion. You know, France's annual military spending, but also more than 40 billion, so that this time, NATO assistance to Ukraine, in fact, is still very powerful. But the problem is that so much military aid has not helped Ukraine to turn around the situation in Russia and Ukraine.
So, in the new year, the Western camp also intends to continue to step up assistance to Ukraine. You know, the United States has finalized that the next weapons to be provided to Ukraine will focus on cheap, but at the same time with precision strike capabilities. The provision of cheap guided munitions, for example, is intended to make up for the U.S. military's refusal to provide Hymas, which is suitable for mass production and, at the same time, capable of a range of 150 kilometers and will be a greater threat to Russian forces.
Therefore, the Russian side naturally needs to make corresponding adjustments, and this time Putin ordered to increase efforts to develop drones, which is actually a signal. During the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, drones were put into the battlefield in large numbers, and both Russia and Ukraine are using such weapons, with Ukraine obtaining drones from the West and Russia acquiring cheap drone technology from Iran as well. However, Iranian drones are, after all, someone else's product, and Russia needs to take advantage of their strengths and weaknesses.
More crucially, the use of drones to fight not only can increase the intensity of the fight against Ukraine, it can be found that many of the recent airstrikes launched by the Russian army were participated by drones, in addition, it can also effectively avoid the casualties of Russian troops. You know, the future of unmanned warfare has been added to the concept of the military powers, Russia is also a military power, but, in the field of drone technology, development is obviously lagging behind, therefore, increase efforts to develop advanced drones, but also in line with the interests of Russia.
Russia and Ukraine conflict, the next fight is to consume, to see who can not support first. Although Ukraine is still supported by NATO countries, but, as the conflict lasts longer, the greater the consumption brought to the West. Of the 30 NATO countries, 20 have been emptied of their arsenals. So, even if the U.S. and the EU also proposed a new aid package, how long it can last is still an unknown, but it is certain that Russia still has the ability to continue to persist.
