Russia and Ukraine flashpoint

[shavenferret]

The Chinese have stopped exporting drones and components to Ukraine, i guess in an attempt to force Ukraine to negotiate. And I think that Ukraine had a heads up on this, so they have been limiting the amount of drone strikes against equipment, because while there are 1200 orc casualties every day, the equipment losses are a lot lower lately. While it lasted, being able to source these from one central and cheap place was quite nice. If Ukraine can make use of 2nd or 3rd parties or even just buy en mass from India, that could solve many problems.

"The OPUBAS commander provides a list of goods and components that will be restricted. It is taken from a message from one of the Chinese carriers.
