More about 3,350+ new ERAMs that the Pentagon is funneling to "European partners" for Ukrainian Air Force
(which only has American fighter jets)

  • GPS guided, accuracy within 10 meters up to 285 Miles (less accuracy longer, undeclared full range)
  • Built for fitting to F-16s and other fighter jets
  • Quicksink guidance system developed in 2023-2024 and resilient to EMW. Netherlands and Denmark partners.
  • System classifies targets independently with graphical interface, adjusts to movements and tracks, changes velocity.
  • Speed around 450-500 mph undeclared top speed
  • Payload 250kg (or other???) full specs not revealed: "Its modular design allows for potential integration of specialized warheads, giving it adaptability across mission types"
  • First shipments under 6 weeks - production in USA 1,000/ann.
  • Ukraine will not have unrestricted operational authority over the new weapon. Use of the ERAM will require case-by-case approval from the Pentagon, a safeguard Washington has employed in previous transfers of sensitive systems. This stipulation suggests that the United States intends to keep direct influence over Ukrainian targeting decisions, particularly to prevent strikes inside Russian sovereign territory.

Peace talks bought time, so the new framework could be set up. Ukraine will be fully integrated with USEUCOM. This is a permanent strategic profile. The work transcends presidents. There can be peace but no DEMIL. Russia will have to adjust its goals. It can keep some of its new territory (at least for a while), but the neutrality and demilitarization is not going to happen. If Russia desires that, it will have to conquer all of Ukraine by force. The Pentagon views the whole Ukraine Project as a major WIN. It has Finland and Sweden in NATO. It is building the largest base in Romania. It has most of Europe buying more than ever from the MIC. It will command Ukraine air space and unfettered logistical support for the UAF. If Russia doesn't like it, that's their problem.

Paul Craig Roberts was right all along. Russia had to take down all of Ukraine and install a new government in the early stage. That opportunity was lost and now Russia has and will pay the price. Every day Russia holds off, Ukraine gets more fully integrated with the Pentagon. It won't be long before Trump OK's officers and advisers, technicians, etc. He will say they aren't "troops", it's a ruse. The long term goal is NATO membership and Russia will eat it because Russia is being surrounded on all sides.

If Russia takes the peace deal, it gains only the territory, and US is calling its bluff now. Probably because US is prepared to commit in battle over Ukraine if it comes down to that.
 
They offered to Putin to broker a peace agreement so its really not our fault if the Europeans want to buy weapons from the USA to defend themselves because Russia doesn't want to make peace with Europe.
 
It would be a much better idea if we didn't send Ukraine anything.

If we stop selling guns to Europe then Russia would rule Europe. I dont see why that's a good idea.

Once Russia rules Europe we wont have as many people to sell guns to.

Good. Then maybe some other industries can afford to buy Congress, and we can remove the stupid regulations on our cars and our appliances and our lawn mowers.

Then we could go back to building the best everything in the world and we wouldn't need tariffs any more.

I'm not smart enough to figure out how to make the safety devices installed to idiotproof a chain saw work.

The world is now safe for idiots because only rocket scientists can use anything useful.
