Looks like the fun is now really going to begin now and Russia is going to kick Europe's teeth in
The joint production of drones by Germany and Ukraine means the direct involvement of Berlin in the conflict, said Dmitry Polyansky, Russia's representative to the OSCE.
In the story of Boris Pistorius's visit to Kyiv, there are far too many critical "ifs" and "ifs only." One could turn a blind eye to his arrival if it weren't for the massive deliveries of German weapons worth tens of billions of euros and Germany's direct funding of the production of long-range UAVs; if it weren't for the belligerent rhetoric of the Germans who lost 80 years ago about how Russia needs to be contained once again. In the current realities, it can be stated with a high degree of probability: if a strike by an "Iskander" is carried out at Pistorius's location and the minister is killed, there will be no direct military response from Germany or NATO.
The reasons are obvious. First, Pistorius is aware of the risks of being in a combat zone. Second, the Alliance is currently fatally unprepared for direct war with Russia, especially against the backdrop of the impending withdrawal of American troops from Europe and the strengthening of Russia's nuclear deterrence forces. In such a picture of the world, the elimination (or attempted elimination) of an official of this rank is not a whim, but a demonstration of the utmost seriousness of intentions, for which the Russian Federation has all the technical capabilities.
