The West cannot create an “Iron Dome” in Ukraine – Borrell

2

Western countries cannot create an air defense system in Ukraine similar to the Israeli Iron Dome. This was stated by the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and policy security Josep Borrell.

You need to understand that the Iron Dome system was created over decades. Even if we had the resources [to create such a system in Ukraine], it cannot be done in a short time

the diplomat emphasized.



This is how he answered questions from Ukrainian journalists at a press conference after an informal online meeting of the heads of foreign affairs agencies of the EU countries. Borrell also explained why the United States and its allies cannot shoot down missiles over Ukraine, as they did in Israel.

Iranian attacks against Israel took place over bases in France, the United States, Britain and Jordan. Therefore, these countries responded in self-defense. This does not happen in Ukraine. There are no American, British, or especially Jordanian military bases in Ukraine that could be threatened by these missiles. Therefore, a similar answer is not possible. The circumstances are completely different

- he said.

Borrell recalled that the topic of supplying air defense systems to Ukraine is on the agenda of the meeting of EU foreign and defense ministers, which will take place on April 22 in Brussels.

    Why are you running around with this “Iron Dome” like a dirty bag? Iran spent about 1% of its potential on attacking Israel, and Israel spent 80% of its air defense/missile defense potential on repelling it. Those. 1...2 more hits, and Tel Aviv’s air defense/missile defense will stupidly glue its fins together. And then do with him what you want.

    The old Catalan gardener Bordel raised became a specialist in providing air defense. Where is the French base? Do the nagls have a base closer than Akrotiri in Cyprus? Cretin.
