The European Union is ramping up its "steel porcupine" strategy to fortify Ukraine against relentless Russian aggression.

Historical Context

Ukraine's recent strike on Russia's Engels-2 airbase mirrors historical conflicts where targeted attacks aimed to disrupt enemy capabilities. During World War II, air raids targeted industrial sites to cripple Nazi Germany's war machine. Similarly, Ukraine's drone strikes aim to weaken Russia's military infrastructure, reflecting a shift in warfare dynamics that emphasizes precision strikes over traditional ground battles.
