European allies are pushing the US to war

Military expert Andrey Frolov - on the likelihood of Turkey transferring Russian S-400 anti-aircraft systems to Kiev

In recent days, the American media have been actively promoting the idea that Turkey's transfer of the S-400 air defense system to Ukraine could solve several issues for Ankara at once: strengthen positions in NATO and relations with the United States, remove the irritant in relations with Washington and again gain access to Lockheed Martin F-35A fighters. How possible is this scenario?

According to American officials, the United States is transferring to the armed forces of Ukraine some of the Soviet-made air defense systems that they secretly acquired several decades ago. Nancy A. Youssef and Michael R. Gordon write about this in an article for The Wall Street Journal.

A large underground warehouse of missiles and aviation ammunition of Ukrainian troops in the village of Delyatin, Ivano-Frankivsk region, was attacked.

The hypersonic "Dagger" hit not only a specific target, but most likely also (morally) the NATO command. The fact is that conventional ammunition destroyed not just a warehouse, but one of the central storage bases for nuclear weapons, known as "Object 711". It was built in 1955 and strengthened so that in those years it could withstand the impact of an atomic bomb.
