So Ukraine is beginning to get the weapons it needs if it’s to press attacks against Russia in the occupied south and east. Many of the experts I’m reading are stating that comprehensive anti-air defence (much more than the low-altitude systems they have had so far) are what will be required if the Ukrainian army is to go on the offensive. The S-300 is just such a system, designed to defend against high-altitude fast jets. Meanwhile the UK is sending Starstreak, which can destroy jets and helicopters that try to avoid high-altitude defence systems by flying low.
