You could buy those things once, as long as you could maintain it yourself.

I doubt that is going to stop anything a drone could launch. Might help protect TCs against sniper fire in MOUT (combat in cities). Experience in Chechnya war 1 caused the Russians to develop the BMPT vehicles to protect tanks in the urban sprawl.

Missile launching drones have been replaced with kamikaze drones. Cheap and effective.

I believe this is the anti-Javelin defense. We supplied Ukraine with Javelins recently.

Javelins and also TOW 2Bs, if the administration supplies the Ukrainian army with them.

Pootin is doing just exactly what Hitler used to do. He’s “testing” the waters (and western stomachs).
Hitler marched ill-prepared into the Rhineland in 1936. He later said that if France or Germany had responded German forces would have retreated with their tails between their legs.
Hitler “learned” from this that the UK and France were weak and had no stomach to resist him.
This is now little 5’7” Pootins game of chicken. This is 100% the fault of Russia’s government. It is NONE of Russia’s business what Ukraine joins or does not join. There are no “spheres of influence” anymore. The Chinese are all over central and south America and we don’t/can’t stop it.
We’ve been here before with Russia. In 1961 our tanks were lined up nose to nose with Russia’s after they issued a “demand” that we leave all of Berlin. They blinked first. Whatever we do, we need to make sure that any talk of nuclear war is curtailed and made known that “first strikes” are NOT an option. That senator does not make policy.
This is absolutely horrible behavior. Whatever flaws Ukraine has does not mean it’s people deserve this. Most of them don’t want to be part of Russia and want to be part of the modern world.

This kind of festooning illustrates why tanks have become mostly obsolete for modern war. All that crap imposes a cost in terms of weight, maneuverability and visual signature.

The Crimea belongs to Russia and has for over 200 years.
