The Ukrainian president warned airlines, insurers and foreign governments that the growing scale of Kyiv’s drone operations would make Russian airspace increasingly unsafe for aircraft.
Can Ukraine’s military reach Vladivostok?
Not yet, but they can reach past the Ural mountains, they’ve hit targets in Yekaterinburg and Omsk. Most Russians live west of the Urals, so disrupting all that airspace is enough to disrupt personal life and production facilities. It won’t disrupt resource extraction related logistics, but that’s because that was never by air to begin with.
flamingos maybe
If I were a master tactitcian, I would say this publicly knowing that Russia will not restrict its own airspace to avoid pissing off the people he really doesn’t want to piss off.
But when the Russians see the drones, they will not be booking flights. I imagine pilots may avoid flying all together. This will neuter air transport.
Everything must be done by ground - train or automotive. Ukraine can then target russian transport infrastructure to inhibit the movement of troops, supplies, weapons, and important economic streams.
Wars are not won by out killing the enemy. Wars are won when logistics are halted.
Cut off the food, water, fuel and ammo to the front line, and it shatters.
This may be a bit off-topic, but I think we can draw a parallel between Putins clusterfuck of a clown war and Trumps operation Epstein fury.
Turns out if you purge your entire military leadership and replace them with incompetent corrupt sycophantic asslickers before you do the funny, you’re in for a bad time.
Here before the ml users screech about Ukraine being a Nazi state
Anyone still hanging on to that russian fairy tale must be either missing around half a brain or getting paid by the FSB.
Don’t worry, plenty of people will do this for free online
i know, those are the ones missing brain matter
Russia doesn’t pay those guys; just like it doesn’t pay the Alberta hillbillies it lies to about separation and ‘RoC’ and other conservative slop.
It pays the bot farms.
Russia pays the bot farms and some of the mouthpieces. Tim Pool and his ilk that got caught taking money from Moscow.
Please zelenskyy, leave some aura for the rest of us.
Hell ya, fuck them up!
Nice.
Muhehehehe
