You may be closer to the action there than I, but the administration voices I hear seem either indifferent to the whole thing or want to provide CAS for the Orcs.

A lot more on Ukraine's long range strike systems, from the start with the FP-1 and now the FP-5 Flamingo, which they planning on being able to build 7 a month in October.
Fairly innovative plan to sell certain weapons to Europe to help fund the expansion, and acquisition of certain items not as easily made at home.

Good catch there - and you're likely right. Especially since in July, he sorta nudged UKR to strike deep, but not at Moscow.

Apparently POTUS encouraged Zelensky to target Moscow and St Petersburg in the latest meeting, or to have the ability to do so.Good catch there - and you're likely right. Especially since in July, he sorta nudged UKR to strike deep, but not at Moscow.
Maybe Zelenskyy can say, "hey, we'll take our sights off Moscow when they take the sights off Kyiv?"President Trump says Zelenskyy should not target Moscow with strikes

He's also now talking about a No Fly zone over Ukraine - since Putin apparently reneged on his commitment to the Peace Process in Alaska and has announced his isn't going to be trying to mediate it anymore unless Russia comes to the table.
Here's hoping for him sticking to todays thought process, and not TACO'ing. IF he finally realizes that Putin really did play him, he will want revenge, and that will be goof for Ukraine.

I note that Milanion indicates a production rate of over 50 a month.
The company is a UAE company registered in the UK with the contact given as Davinder Singh Dogra.
Singh is a Sikh name/title. The Dogras are from the Jammu Kashmir district - currently in dispute with Pakistan, China and India.
Coupled with Brazilian Avibras it would appear as if the world is determined on doing things differently.
NATO weaponcraft maybe falling behind the curve.

It’s a fairly primitive design. The UKR version needed a bunch of help on the guidance system and a few other things.
NATO’s issues are generally not technology, but procurement. With low procurement, industry isn’t pushing to expand production lines, nor investing a lot of IRD for upgrades.
