China has significantly helped Russia gain an edge in fiber-optic drone tech. Beijing sharply increased exports of key components like fiber optics and lithium batteries for FPV drone production. While claiming neutrality, China allowed a surge in parts that now fuel Russia’s domestic drone assembly

(I know of a country where these launchers could be tested thoroughly!)

Previously, these missiles were typically launched from vertical launch systems installed on cruisers and destroyers. Tomahawk missiles can also be launched from submarines.

Zelensky says Ukraine has "good options" to finance potential Tomahawk deliveries if the US approves, via a reparations loan using frozen Russian assets, PURL initiative, or a broader "mega deal." He added that he’s already shared his vision with Trump, but some details “aren’t for a phone call.”

The EU is moving toward a political agreement to use around €200 billion in frozen Russian central bank assets to sustain aid to Ukraine, as other funding options dwindle. Leaders will discuss the plan at a summit in Brussels next week.
