Bell notes an inherent conundrum for the West: while deploying state-of-the-art air defense systems could provide immediate relief to Ukraine, it also risks exposing these technologies to adversaries, particularly China. The West's tendency to conceal technological advancements contrasts sharply with Russia's approach of showcasing its new weaponry—a tactic intended to project strength and create a sense of imminent danger.
This strategic dynamic creates hurdles for Ukraine in securing the advanced capabilities it needs to defend itself. The balance between offering support to Ukraine and protecting long-term Western security interests remains a pressing challenge.
