Does the use of German and French cruise
missiles by Ukraine require involvement of foreing troops?

Ukrajinci ucast cizich vojaku?)
ChatGTP: No. The Ukrainian
use of German and French cruise missiles does not require the participation of
foreign troops. Modern cruise missiles, such as the German Taurus or French
SCALP-EG/Storm Shadow, are typically designed to be integrated with compatible
platforms like aircraft operated by the host country—in this case, Ukraine's
own military aircraft, such as the Su-24s.
Here’s why foreign troop involvement isn't necessary:
Training and Integration: Ukrainian forces receive training from Germany,
France, and other NATO allies to operate and maintain these advanced systems.
This training is typically conducted outside Ukraine to ensure the personnel are
skilled in their use.
Independent Operations: Once the missiles and compatible platforms are
delivered, Ukrainian forces use them independently, applying the training
they've received.
Technical Support: While technical or logistical support might be provided by
the supplying countries, it is usually done remotely or outside Ukrainian
territory to avoid direct foreign troop involvement.
Rules of Engagement: Western nations supplying such weapons ensure that
operational control remains with the Ukrainian armed forces to minimize risks of
escalation involving NATO personnel.
This arrangement allows Ukraine to leverage advanced Western technology
without requiring foreign military forces to be directly involved in combat
operations.
