The Economist reports that intensified Russian strikes are severely damaging Ukraines economy for the first time since the wars early days. Empty supermarket shelves have returned in Kyiv after hits on warehouses. A new Russian tactic targets civilian cargo ships using Black Sea ports, threatening a far larger share of Ukraines trade and economy resulting in hundreds million dollar losses a month. The piece notes Ukraine is "no longer winning the aerial war" declared by Zelensky on Russia due to interceptor shortages.https://www.economist.com/europe/2026/08/18/russian-attacks-are-doing-severe-harm-to-ukraines-economyUkraines leadership has expanded long-range strikes on Russian energy and infrastructure amid frontline manpower pressures and attritional fighting that Ukraine can no longer sustain. Russia has responded by accelerating its own drone, FPV, and interceptor production, which multiple analyses indicate now outpaces the combined output available to Ukraine and its all Western partners in key categories. The resulting mutual aerial campaign has disrupted Ukraines maritime access, amplifying daily economic losses from constrained ports and logistics far beyond the direct strike damage reported. If even the fkn hyper-globohomo, super-pro-Ukrainian, totally anti-Russian the Economist says that Ukraine is now losing the aerial war it declared itself on Russia, things must be really-really bad. Oy vey xD
>>540997730>hundreds million dollar losses a monthA day. My mistake xD
>>540997730...suck it kikes in Kiev
the big question is whether Russia will use this advantage to finish the war, or whether they'll give the west another year to come up with anti-drone solutions.
Ww3 imminentGood job dumbfucks
>Daily polish echo chamber thread
>>540998104 Ukraine has far better anti-drone solutions than the West and anti-ballistic solutions of the West were just fully depleted xD
What economy?I work with patrimonial security, and Ajax (one of the best security systems in the world) is from Ukraine and relocated to Turkey because their best developers were being kidnaped and send to die.
>>540997730We expended about 80% of our anti-missile defense missiles protecting Israel from the consequences of their own hubris. There's no more Patriots coming.
>>540998190The West didn't even have anti-drone solutions.They were literally using 5M weapons to take down a 5k drone in the war against Iran.
>>540997730Britbongladeshis will give him another few billions to keep fighting, France will donate interceptors the war will never end
>>540998152ETA?
>>540998274They still do this daily when some cheap drones violate NATO airspace. They use $2M a2a missiles vs few thousand dollar drones xD
>>540997730>The Economist reports that intensified UKRAINE strikes are severely damaging russian economy for the first time since the wars early days.>Empty supermarket shelves have returned in Moscow after hits on warehouses.
>>540997730You make good posts, OP. I have gotten a lot of good info from your posts about the Ukraine war.
>>540998274That's why this war is really a test space for drone warfare. They want to keep it going because coming down the pipe is advanced AI that only the US has access to so soon we will see intelligent drones cheap to make that can evade counter measures.Same with the Iran war keep that going as a giant sales demonstration on both sides
Hey Ukraine.. maybe you regret going after civilian logistics factories now?Too late...Now you pay... the total..and final price...the end is neigh WW3 is a Europoor problem.. later chumps.
>Ukraine starts bombing Russian ships in the sea of Azov so Russia starts bombing Odessa proper shutting down the port>Ukraine starts drone striking Russian warehouses and petrol stations so Russia starts bombing Ukrainian warehouses and petrol stations >Ukraine starts spamming drones at Russia which causes Russia to get its air defenses optimized and online negating these strikes almost completely before proceeding to bomb the absolute fuck out of Ukrainian cities Genuinely what the fuck did the Hohol's think would happen?You don't have air, drone or defensive supremacy anything you do Russia will just do to you but 3 times harderZero respect for these retards they operate exclusively on western capeshit and social media engagement
>>540998979>advanced AI that only the US has access toLMAO
This "aerial war" will only result in futher mass exodus of hohols. Current 22-25 mln population will be cut to 10 mln, mostly pensioners, there will be nobody to keep the front and then Westoids would launch the Phase 2 : Baltic chihuahas and "European superpower" Bolanda are still full of russophobic untouched/undepleted biomass that can be successfuly utilized for the drone warfare xD
>>540997730British are mad because they can’t sell stole Ukrainian grain anymore kek.
>>540998190>Ukraine has far better anti-drone solutions Those interceptor meme-drones are useless and are not intercepting anything these days. And the UK has spent billions building factories to make them.Best jew scam ever
>rebus sic stantibus
>>541001403They are useful vs slow piston drones but far less useful vs jet drones. But Ukrainians supposedly work now on new interceptors reaching 600 km/h speed that would have bigger chance to hit new Russian Geran-4/5 drones. The question is cost. How much such interceptors would cost
>>541001023Actually they mad because 25% of ukraine went to biofuels, mandated by the Paris accords and subsidized by the fuel taxes (yellow vesters tried to warn you).Big oil and Big agra are one in the same these days. They will starve Europe before this war ends.
>>541001524Vid rel is Geran-2 piston drone:https://youtube.com/shorts/hsIe0j9oZm8Very slow, using piston engine, characteristic sound - easy for shooting down with FPV interceptors and also by using a land based cannons if they are properly locate etc. Russia is currently gradually cancelling its production and fully switching to jet drones.Vid-rel is Geran-4 Seeker hitting a locomotive. It is like a rocket in comparison xDhttps://youtube.com/shorts/KJJTkr3ydfMIt gives _faaaar_ less time for air defence xD
>>541001403Uki interceptors work well against drones. There's no way to economically stop ballistics (short of blowing up the factories making them, which is what Ukraine is trying to do).Supposedly Ukraine is also set to roll out long range ballistics soon. Their long range cruise missile rollout has been very impactful so might actually happen.
>>541002857>Their long range cruise missile rollout has been very impactfulNot really.Russia is now intercepting almost all Ukrainian "Flamingo" cruise missiles, German outlet Focus reports.Over the past several weeks, only one or two of the FP-5 missiles reached their targets out of 11 launched. They struck the Avitek missile plant in Kirov region on July 24-25.Russia's ability to shoot down the Flamingos comes from A-50U airborne early warning aircraft, which forecast the missiles' most likely flight paths.Citing French outlet L'Indépendant, Focus writes that Ukrainian strikes on major Russian industrial facilities have stalled as a resulthttps://www.focus.de/politik/ausland/russland-faengt-ukrainische-flamingo-raketen-mittlerweile-fast-vollstaendig-ab-seltene-radarflugzeuge-verschaffen-moskau-den-entscheidenden-vorteil_061fd5a2-9c9a-46db-b57c-65bd1fbcb95e.html
>>541003056>A-50URussia has 3 or 4 of these left?Exactly the sort of target they'd go after with ballistics if they can find one in maintenance.(of course the same goes for the Saab awacs Ukraine has)
>>541003319The A-50U claim is media speculation that attribute Flamingo interceptions to A-50U AEW aircraft, but this rests on open-source analysis and inference, not confirmed Russian admissions or definitive evidence. Russia possesses extensive other radar assets capable of detecting low-flying cruise missiles, including dense networks of ground-based systems (Nebo-M, Podlyot/Kasta-series low-altitude radars, S-400/96L6 suites, Voronezh early-warning radars and over-the-horizon Konteyner). These form a multi-layered detection web independent of the limited A-50U fleet. Russias fighters (MiG-31, Su-35 etc) carry powerful airborne radars independent of scarce A-50Us. These can detect low-flying cruise missiles at significant ranges, cue ground air defenses or conduct intercepts themselves, and operate as distributed airborne sensors across multiple platforms.
>>541002857The new Russian drones are all turbines 3x faster than interceptors you fucking retard.
>>540997730>Ukraines economylol lmao
>>540998339Cokodil?
>>54100408485% of ukraine's exports were by sea. They have been cucklocked for 3 weeks now. 15% of the budget doesnt even cover the amount stolen by the kikes in charge.Plus the vast majority of fuel came by tanker.
