russian shift to its long-range strike doctrine toward faster, jet-powered UAVs like the Geran-4 and Geran-5 is clearly visible in inteception rate. Equipped with Chinese Telefly turbojets, these systems hit cruise speeds of 450–600 km/h drastically compressing Ukrainian air-defense reaction times 🧵

Ukraine’s 🇺🇦 victory is not only about Ukraine. It is about the security of Europe. The 🇪🇪 Parliament has adopted a clear statement: russia must not be allowed to rewrite Europe’s security order by force. We call for stronger air defence, predictable military support, increased defence production
