Ukraine’s Missile Makeover and Rising Tensions | Hattiesburg News

European leaders arrived in Kyiv to celebrate Ukraine’s independence day and push for critical military aid, including a breakthrough: Ukraine may soon manufacture French SCALP missiles — a game-changer for its defense. As the war grinds on with no major front-line shifts, the UK is rallying industry to build a cheaper Patriot alternative amid global shortages. Meanwhile, the human toll mounts — three teens dead, six children injured in a Ukrainian drone strike on a Russian logistics hub — while Russia retaliates with a massive missile and drone barrage on Odesa’s food and energy infrastructure. Ukraine’s drone strikes keep hitting deep inside Russia, even disrupting oil operations, but its air defense interceptors are running low, especially as winter looms and Russia’s relentless power grid attacks threaten to cripple Ukraine’s defenses. With accusations flying and global alliances under strain, the world watches closely as Ukraine fights to survive — and its allies scramble to keep pace.
