This missile may seem redundant with the Ukrainian FP-5 in use with a greater range/payload ratio, but the key here is the "AI-assisted target recognition".

I know that AI is the future but it makes me damn uncomfortable putting it in missiles. I hope the AI just helps identify the target but it is a human who gets to decide to prosecute the target or not.

The targeting accuracy of the FP-5 is still undependable and the Ukrainians may plan to use this Dutch software to tweak it. Permission being based on purchase of course. Who pays is immaterial.

Until Europe can defend itself it will be the American tax payer who pays. The Dutch pay for weapons for Ukraine which means that we have to pay to defend the Netherlands and western Europe. I am starting to come around to the idea of leaving NATO (which is a political suicide so its not happening anytime soon). We should leave NATO and form a NATO-lite with Ukraine, Poland, Finland, Sweden, the Baltics, Greece, Romania, and Turkey (can't let Russia be allies with them because of the bosphorous)That way we can protect those allies who are actually pulling their weight, contain Russia, but let free loading western European countries rot in their new caliphates.
