They dream thnat all terriotry will one day be denied to missiles gettign thorugh. They just got that German missiole defence system, and clap hands over that, thats all.
You cannot defend ALL airspace over such a huge landmass with short and medium range systems, air defences in Ukraine always will be just punctual, like they are anywhere else, too. The Europeans just relaise that there'S are like that, too, and want to beef it up in coming years. Especially the German air space - what a surprise - is an open hole in the sky. We were so bright to think we do not need air defence anynmore, and then dismantled our last remaining dedicated air defence unit, already years ago. We currently have no defence potential against drones, for exmaple, AFAIK.
