Ukraine Just Carried Out the Deadliest and Most Calculated Strike on Russia in History
This is a detailed account of how 27 drones were sent into Russia. They shot down 11 of them. The cost to shoot down those 11 was probably on par with the cost of the 11 drones they shot down because not all were shot down with missiles. However, the 16 drones not shot down hit their targets taking out radar stations, anti aircraft weapons and the men trained to use them, as well as a very expensive jet fighter and helicopter.
This very short but detailed account of these 27 drones shows how Ukraine is destroying Russia's defenses in a way that the costs are extremely high for Russia. Those 27 drones might have cost a total of $1 million dollars though the ordinance on them might push that number over $1 million. But the damage done is well over $100 million. No one can sustain a ratio of 100:1. Also, success breeds success as US and NATO will give support to Ukraine to do their fighting for them.
Think about the drone attack on Moscow that had 1,000 drones. Ukraine is capable of flying 1,000 drones in a single night and each time they do that they take out more of Russia's air defenses which means each successive attack will have a bigger and better cost benefit ratio.
The obvious question is whether or not Russia can surrender. If they feel they can't afford to surrender then their only option is to escalate with bigger bombs, ie nuclear. I suspect those that started this war like Putin will feel they can't surrender, whereas if they are replaced a new regime could somehow determine that they can surrender.
But that is not what we should be most concerned with. This is a pyrrhic victory for Ukraine. They have wiped out the exports from the black sea, they have wiped out the oil exports to Europe. The result of this war has been devastation to oil and grain exports. You can win the war and still starve to death and freeze to death.
Consider that the goal of the war in Ukraine and the war in Iran is so that the world is given an offer they can't refuse. Take the mark of the beast, become slaves of Satan or die. Russia and Ukraine destroying themselves is destroying very important oil and grain exports. Likewise with the war with Iran and Yemen, you are shutting down oil exports and very significant refined products like Diesel and fertilizer. You don't want to wipe out 100%, too many people would die. What you want is to make the situation a crisis where only extreme rationing can keep everyone alive, therefore you can sell the "mark of the beast" as the only way to accomplish that and you give up your freedom for "the greater good".
