On March 17, Forward Defense senior fellow and acting director of Rafik Hariri Middle East Programs Tom Warrick was quoted in a Wall Street Journal article titled “Turkey’s Russian missiles could defend Ukraine,” which references Warrick’s recent article on “lend-lease” options for loaning S-300 SAMs to Ukraine.

Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
