    Goddam there’s a lot of cargo ships in the Kerch strait!
    But it’s insane to see how easily Ukraine is taking out those shadow tankers. IDK if it’s because Ukraine took out several defenses both on and around the Kerch bridge, that they have such an apparently easy time. Or if the Russian defense is short on air defense missiles? But AFAIK those missiles cost way more than a drone, and often more missiles are shot at the same drone because they don’t always get the target, so the economy of shooting down drones with air defense missiles is horrible for Russia.

    Crazy with the amount of footage we are seeing lately, where Ukraine is absolutely dominating Russia.
    I think we are now on the 11th or 12th day of the Ukrainian 40 days and 40 nights campaign. And allegedly Ukraine is sending 3 times more drones into Russia than Russia is able to send the other way! And the Russian infrastructure and air defense is already collapsing!

    Slava Ukraini.

        Yes I heard that too, so maybe a combination of both?
        But when Ukraine attacked refineries around Moscow, the defense was also nearly worthless. So I think either the Russian air defense is pretty worthless, or they’ve used up the missiles used for it. Kind of like USA and Israel also did in a few days against Iran.

    As Jake Broe keeps calling it, it’s a turkey-shoot. Pooty-poot’s got nothing there now. UA blows up what they want to.

    Let’s hope they’re able to convince them not to mandate another 500k troops. They don’t need any more sunflowers.
