That’s still ways cheaper than if the russians hooligans and rapists coming. Or more mass exodus of Ukraine refugees into Europe. What do you have with money if you are dead?

In money term, Germany pays about $15 billion in military support since the war began. If you put in relation to Germany GDP of $12 trillion (3 years), then this $15 billion is just a math error. France, Spain, etc pay ways less. That’s even lesser to count. That argument with tax payers mostly comes from dumb russian stooges. Here we call them “nützliche Idiots“.

That's some coping you got going there. PAC-2 mobile launchers are likely already just across the border in Kursk they don't need to be at front or middle with their 160-190km range with PAT radar likely somewhere in Sumy. They are not stupid as you wish they were there's a reason why Russian air force is MIA in Kursk.

IIRC, one of the first video we saw when Ukraine launch their mission into Kursk is a pair of Russian Frogfoot flying low across a Kursk Highway. Frogfoot weren't known for doing gun run (like A-10) which is the only use for a ground hugging profile, and they are flying in Kursk, not in Ukraine.

There are Ukrainian SAM in the area, otherwise you won't see them do that

Nothing in Kursk? Well, there is a nuclear power plant, major gas metering ststion, railway, road, land, people. Kursk region is 29,000 kn2. That’s huge. Ukraine has assigned a military command for the Kursk region. Ukraine will rotate troops, dig in and stay.

Kursk is a DIVERSION to try and DIVERT Russian troops from the Eastern front

Think about the approaching Russian force at Pokrovsk the Russians are pushing fast and are within touching distance now and when that city falls, all of the remaining Donbass is next

Ukraine has not taken any significant territory on the Eastern front for a year or two now

So they pull this weird stunt, now fair play they are trying
But all it is a diversion tactic and spit in Putins eye

The Russians aim if anything will be to stabilize Kursk and even keep Ukrainians forces THERE, fighting over nothing whilst they lose Eastern Ukraine

If Ukraine then is forced to redeploy to the front then they have less men to defend Kursk invasion and they will be slaughtered on both fronts

That is all pretty much over with Ukraine stingers and Avengers which took down a Ka-50. Can't go high and can't go low.
