Recently, in order to retaliate against Ukraine for the blow-up of Crimea Bridge, Russia launched multiple rounds of missile attacks on Ukraine, with the attack scope spread throughout Ukraine. Even the capital Kiev was attacked again after a long time.
This attack once caused power outages in 90% of Ukraine's country. This has also caused panic among European countries, hoping to establish a "full European air defense system" to face the pressure brought by Russia.
According to Global Network , recently, NATO 14 European member states including Germany, Czech , Hungary, Netherlands , etc., signed a letter of intent to establish a "full-European air defense system" with Finland at NATO headquarters. In addition, in addition to Estonia , a letter of intent was signed on the same day for the joint procurement of air defense systems such as "Arrow-3" and "Patriot".
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, NATO countries were the most active in sanctions against Russia. Under the leadership of the United States, many European countries in NATO have successively launched several rounds of sanctions against Russia from multiple fields such as economy and politics.
There is no doubt that these European countries have deep conflicts with Russia, and the contradictions are still escalating. After seeing Russia's attack on Ukraine, he naturally "can't sit still".
What's more, Norway, Finland, Estonia and other countries are bordering Russia. When Russia wants to attack other European countries, these countries may be implicated. Therefore, for the sake of national security, it is not difficult to understand these countries that want to establish a "full-European air defense system".
So, is it useful to establish a "full European air defense system"?
Responsibly said that NATO European countries have a certain role in establishing a "full-European air defense system". The air defense systems purchased by these countries are "Arrow-3" and "Patriot". Among them, Patriot-3 is one of the best-selling missile defense system in the world today, with the advantages of strong firepower, strong tracking ability and short reaction time. The Arrow-3 air defense system has the characteristics of multiple interceptions, high interception accuracy, and strong continuous tracking capabilities.
If European countries use Arrow-3 air defense system to intercept the outermost missile, and Patriot air defense system intercepts other uninterrupted ones, it will greatly increase the interception probability. However, although Europe can play a certain role in the deployment of air defense systems, once Russia takes serious action, the air defense systems of European countries will be useless.
In addition, it is impossible for these countries to deploy an air defense line near Russia. Because this will not only pose a threat to Russia's national security, but will also expose many of Russia's secrets. It should be noted that the detection range of the air defense system radar is very wide. If it is deployed in the Russian border area, Russia's secrets will have a high probability of being stolen by Western countries. Therefore, Russia will definitely respond to this.
To a certain extent, these countries will not only not make their country safer, but will instead stimulate Russia and face more difficult missile deterrence.
Therefore, instead of spending so much money to buy air defense systems, European countries might as well cause less trouble.
