Israel may have just torched its relationship with Russia, promising to supply Ukraine with 'early-warning systems'

[Beastly Boy]

Israel's permanent representative to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, said the Middle Eastern country was "working to provide Ukraine with early warning systems" in a speech on Wednesday.

Such systems would help "save civilian lives from Russia's indiscriminate missile and drone attacks," Erdan said.

A spokesperson for Israel's foreign ministry told Business Insider that the system was "not Iron Dome," Israel's most advanced air defense system. Rather, it would be an "alarm system" that would help "get people into shelters." It would likely be very similar to Israel's Tzeva Adom radar system, the spokesperson told BI.

Erdan referred to Ukraine as Israel's "allies" and "friends in need." Both countries are "fighting a battle for our survival," he said, adding that "the state of Israel has always and will continue to remain committed to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity."

1. I hope so...................

Russia admires Hamas and other terrorist groups over Israel.

2. Given Russia support Iran that supports all of Israel's closest enemies, not too surprising. Irks me that Israel does..

...not offer up Iron Dome to Ukraine. I do get that they have only about 10 full systems of their own. And with only 20 missiles per system it can already get overwhelmed if Hezbollah chooses to fire a large barrage of missiles at one time. And they worry that the tech will fall into enemy hands and they will become jammable or otherwise readily defeatable.
