Defense leaders of four European powers announced this week they plan to work together to build new long-range strike weapons to shore up gaps in European defenses highlighted by the fighting in Ukraine.
The defense ministers of France, Germany, Italy and Poland signed a letter of intent Thursday for what they’re calling the European Long-Range Strike Approach (ELSA). According to the French embassy in the US, the initiative “will allow the nations to develop, produce and supply capabilities in the field of long-range strikes, paving the way for cooperation aimed at strengthening our military capabilities and the European defense and industrial base.”
The effort includes the development of “missiles with a range beyond 500 kilometers” meant to “fill a gap in European arsenals that [participating nations] say has been exposed by Russia’s war in Ukraine.”

Great, I hope they get them purchased or built soon. We need iron domes around most of the world. Evil needs to know there will be deadly consequences for the evil decisions they make. God bless the peacemakers of the world. Thanks for sharing Colonel.

Wait.... They can do that without the US?
It's almost like the Democrat frothing at the mouth about Trump killing NATO and abandoning Europe is.... Pure hyperbole. It's almost like Trump's insistence they take more responsibility for their own security is..... On point.
Naw..... That could never be.
