Russia doesn't have any diesel to export these days, so it's just token faggotry on Trump's behalf.
Trump hasn't provided Ukraine any aid since his office started, so he has no leverage. Interesting that Putin has stabbed Iran in the butt though.
Trump Says Zelenskyy 'Better Damn Well Stop' Hitting Russian Refineries, ‘Demands’ New President
I know. However, the ADS that Ukrainian forces are dependent on especially PAC-3 needs to come from the States. DJT seems to have developed even worse opinions about the top leadership in Ukraine. I think this might make that situation even worse for deliveries. Just my two cents on the situation.Trump hasn't provided Ukraine any aid since his office started, so he has no leverage.
Zelenskyy warned that Ukraine's current anti-ballistic stockpiles have effectively run dry, receiving 2.5 times fewer interceptor missiles than the previous year. The U.S. has maintained a baseline of monthly deliveries, but the volumes are far below what is needed to withstand Russian ballistic assaults.
Patriots are being manufactuered in EU now and FP-7X will take over soon anyway.I know. However, the ADS that Ukrainian forces are dependent on especially PAC-3 needs to come from the States.

Ukraine to receive Patriot missiles from allies — but unclear when, Zelensky says amid air defense crisis
"There are no dates set yet, but there will be additional PAC-3s," President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters a day after the conclusion of the NATO summit in Turkey.kyivindependent.com
FP-7 is designed to absorb lower-priority or high-volume interception workloads to preserve PAC-3. Complex high-speed ballistic threats will still need the Patriot. So, PAC-3 will continue to remain relevant.Patriots are being manufactuered in EU now and FP-7X will take over soon anyway.

No, what's needed is the ability to launch more interceptors per target for less cost. PAC-3 MSE is too expensive. If FP-7X has Pk=0.5 vs 0.7 for MSE but is 1/4 price, then it is better.FP-7 is designed to absorb lower-priority or high-volume interception workloads to preserve PAC-3.

Also, I am getting this when looking for PAC-3 assemblies. Let me know if you have a more relevant source.

Interesting. The PAC-3 MSE is indeed quite expensive. Let's see how things play out post deployment. It comes online early or mid 2027. Guess we'll find out next year.No, what's needed is the ability to launch more interceptors per target for less cost. PAC-3 MSE is too expensive.

Putin wants to protect his oil refineries from Ukrainian drones, which is why he decided to supply diesel to the US, – Kellogg." Ukrainians will continue to attack oil refineries, as they should. This is a military operation. This is war, they are attacking correctly. Ukraine is targeting primarily the Russian military-industrial complex, while Russia strikes Ukrainian schools and churches,"– says the American general.
Russia doesn't have those famous 300,000 tons of diesel to release onto the world market. On the contrary, between July and August, it was forced to purchase 368,000 tons of diesel from India and South Korea because they no longer even have refined products for domestic use.
Just imagine if they could export them.Ukrainian attacks have compromised 50% of Russia's refining capacity, which is why the law banning the export of gasoline and diesel is still in effect.To this day, crunching the numbers, what was once the world's largest energy exporter is now a net importer of fuels.
