I can foresee the likes of Gepards coming back into vogue in the west and modern equivalents being introduced across the board to defend cities and also armoured columns, maybe something along the lines of the phalanx, though the Gepard appears to effective enough with a minimum of ordnance use.
Missiles are great but are not really cost effective against cheap drones nor easy to replenish in the short term,

We are definitely still not doing enough for Ukraine. I'm fed up with Putin targeting civilians. Enough is enough. It's time for western politicians to show some balls and give Ukraine what it needs to pulverize the Russian forces. And whatever the initial consequences we need to give Putin a clear message!

From the Kyiv Independent...
Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov warned Russian citizens in a video address on Dec. 30 that Russia's leadership is preparing a new wave of mobilization and plans to close the border within a week.
"I know for a fact that you have about one week left before you still have any choice. In early January, the Russian authorities will close the borders to men, declare martial law, and begin another wave of mobilization. Borders will also be closed in Belarus," Reznikov said, speaking in Russian.

Well said Rhino. I'm not really a believer in new year brings new changes, BUT in this instance let's all hope that it does and quickly.

Mutiple telegram channels report explosions in Moscow, St Petersburg, Briansk, Kursk and other russian cities. The information is not officially confirmed yet.
My wish for New Year?
An end to hostilities that will satisfy Ukr, and will enable the Bear to join the civilised world in 50 years time.
There have been multiple explosions around here over the last hour and my pal says all over London too.
I wouldn't put much political score by them.
Move along now, nothing to see here...
"Rumours"
"Explosions"
"Propaganda"
"Phizzzzz..."
zzzzz

Having had a few sherbert’s tonight to celebrate in the New Year, I bare a thought for those guys and gals standing watch in a frozen wasteland in Ukraine, under fire and constant shelling, while the rest of the world celebrates in the freedom they are fighting to protect FOR ALL OF US…
My hopes, wishes and prayers go out to you all to stay safe and warm and hope that 2023 will bring you the freedom and peace you so richly deserve, that your families will be reunited and will prosper in a free Ukraine as a member of the European Union and of NATO you so richly aim for and deserve.
Slava Ukraine.

I agree 100% with you; sadly those in power do not.
