⚠️ Heads up: this article is from our "experimental era" — a beautiful mess of enthusiasm ✨, caffeine ☕, and user-submitted chaos 🤹. We kept it because it’s part of our journey 🛤️ (and hey, everyone has awkward teenage years 😅).
The US administration announced an unexpected $300 million military aid to Ukraine, including M39 Army Tactical Missile System ballistic missiles. Ukraine previously wreaked havoc with Russian air-defenses and helicopters using these missiles. The latest ATACMS strike targeted a Russian air force surface-to-air missile battery, inflicting significant damage. The aid package signifies a costly deep-strike campaign for the Russians, with politics and funding playing key roles in future support. Lawmakers are attempting to force a vote on $61 billion in fresh aid through a rare legislative maneuver called a 'discharge petition'.
