BREAKING: TRUMP SAYS UKRAINE HAS BEEN MILITARILY DEFEATED "Ukraine, militarily, they're defeated. You wouldn't know that by reading the fake news."

Our signal to the United States and countries in the Middle East about the Strait of Hormuz was that we were open to discussing it. As of today, I don't see any country lifting the blockade on its own, only joint steps can bring results. Ukraine has experience with launching the Grain Corridor in the Black Sea despite Russia’s attempts to block the flow of food and other goods. The situation now is similar, but it is about energy. Our suggestion – based on our experience – was as follows. The war and the negotiations on reopening the Hormuz Strait can go in parallel. It’s worth trying to find a diplomatic solution, and this could be beneficial for both sides in the war. An alternative step would be to control the Strait unilaterally, as Ukraine did with the Grain Corridor. Achieving this would require interceptors, military convoys to escort the vessels, a large integrated electronic warfare network, and other tools. We stand ready to help with this. But for now, we are not yet involved. So far, no one has made such a request. We are simply sharing our knowledge. If one day our partners want to make use of it, we would be ready.

Top 5 missile interceptors that can stop incoming threats mid-air, including ballistic missiles. Number 5 SM-3: Ship-launched by the U.S., intercepts missiles in space using direct impact, reaching over 250 km in altitude and 700 km in range. Number 4 Aster 30: France and Italy’s system, around Mach 4.5, built for sharp maneuvering to hit both ballistic and cruise missiles. Number 3 THAAD: Designed to stop short and medium-range ballistic missiles at high altitude, inside and just outside the atmosphere. Number 2 Patriot PAC-3: Combat-proven, focused on short-range ballistic threats, using precise hit-to-kill interception in the final phase. Number 1 Arrow 3: Israel’s top layer, intercepts ballistic missiles in space at hypersonic speed, destroying them before reentry. Modern missile defense is about precision at extreme speed, often beyond the atmosphere. Source: TopStuffUSA
