🇺🇦 @elonmusk is doubling down on a distorted view of Ukraine, which is a real shame considering the huge number of impressionable people listening to him.
We're still getting more details about today's strike against a Russian military airfield at Novofedorivka in occupied Crimea, but a few big implications are already clear.
Chief among them: The West has spent months investing in Ukraine—now we're starting to see the payoff.🧵
A defining feature of this war is how quickly and smartly Ukraine's employed sophisticated weapons systems from a West that hasn't always been eager to provide them.
Each time UA got something, it used it effectively and showed that more and better weapons wouldn't go to waste.
The latest example of this is HIMARS. The West was supremely reluctant to provide multiple launch rocket systems, but after pressure, finally provided them.
By all accounts, the system has been a game-changer.
