42. Russia is now producing its own Shaheds, and is supplying at least some of them to Iran

Fri Mar 6, 2026, 01:57 AM

Yesterday

So a logical quid pro quo for Ukraine would be to ask for concrete support in eliminating Russia's drone production facilities.

It could eventually complete that task on its own, but intelligence assistance and a supply of EW-hardened long-range missiles would speed things up and benefit a number of countries.

If Trump won't play ball, there are a lot of rich Gulf states that could help out directly, or twist Trump's arm.
