The former head of the Pentagon proposed providing Ukraine with protection similar to the Israeli “Iron Dome”

American politician Leon Panetta proposed providing Ukraine with an analogue of the Iron Dome protection system from Israel. This will allow Ukraine to seize the initiative on the war front.

Panetta believes this is necessary due to the constant threat of missile and drone attacks from Russia. Ukraine needs to be able to intercept 90% of missiles flying towards it. In this way, Kyiv will be able to regain the initiative in the war.

It is important that the Kremlin understands the US willingness to use military force in response to Russian leader Putin's threats against NATO countries. Putin only understands the language of force, so it is necessary to demonstrate that defending Ukraine from Russia is unacceptable.

Recently, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry announced that it was possible to identify air defense systems that could be transferred to Ukraine. President Zelensky stated the need for additional systems to fully protect the country from attacks. In addition, by the end of 2024, Ukraine will receive new air defense systems from Germany.

Leon Panetta is a well-known American politician who previously served as US Secretary of Defense and Director of the CIA. He stressed the importance of showing Russia and Putin that the United States is willing to use military force in the event of threats.
