And that’s what happens if you rely on a supplier in another country

Luckily, it will also be able to use European-made missiles

How does it feel to see all the missiles that Ukraine could use to protect the lives of Ukrainians being sent to help Israel in its unnecessary war of choice? Or how about France, Italy, and UK deploying their armies to help Israel instead of Ukraine? At the same time, European leaders (including Ukrainians unfortunately) are nonstop glazing Israel. This all feels so, so humiliating.

A bit frustrating; Sidewinders is a munition that Europe should not only have large stockpiles of, but also be reasonably happy giving away given there are plenty of in-production European alternatives to the missile now.
