That is indeed significant. Hitting oil infrastructure hurts logistics and financial flow as well as being metaphorical. Wild to see how far these drone strikes are reaching now. This conflict keeps presenting fresh means of escalation.
Awesome!!!!
Putin strikes apartment buildings, killing ~~one~~ eight and injuring dozens of civilians.
Ukraine in turn blows up critical Russian infrastructure, crippling their war and economic machinery.
When the Nazi’s lost the Battle of Britain they resorted to V1 bombs hoping that striking civilians in London would destroy British resolve.
Putin is losing and hoping to throw thousands of drones randomly into Ukrainian population centers.
He never learned the lesson that the Nazis only steeled the resolve of the Brits. Resolve to methodically. Calculatingly. Unrelentingly. Unstoppably defy the enemy and ensure not just victory, but the enemy’s complete and absolute unconditional defeat.
I love that for Putin 🙂
Sweet
What are the long range drones Ukraine is using right now? I imagine they have a homegrown systems, and then a variety supplied by allied nations.
Crazy how far this has come, I remember reading about some of the first long range strikes where they basically had loaded some Cesnas full of explosives and hit a refinery near the start of the war and it was a big deal, now you are seeing these headlines every other day.
Slava Ukraine.
More kinetic sanctions.
It seems the only way to win the war is to crush the Russian economy until it can’t support the war any longer.
NPR had a good interview today in which the speaker said that the ratio of Ukrainian to Russian deaths is 1/4. So, for every 1 death of a Ukrainian person, there are 4 deaths of Russians. No deaths is the acceptable number, but if we are forced to have an opinion, you’ll have to decide for yourself. They said that it’s because Russia is relying more on troops and Ukraine is more about technology (drones).
Caveat: I was only listening in the car for about 1/2 hr. and hear the entire episode and didn’t catch who the speaker was or more detail, but was an interesting conversation about how the time of year matters in war as well. Trees provide good coverage to inhibit drone detection, for example.
