Ukraine has decided to focus its drones on attacking Russia's airports, not in an attempt to kill civilians, but to let the citizens know that this is a painful war that they probably won't be able to win. So, it's a great idea. Contrast that with Russia attacking civilian buildings in the past such as schools and hospitals. Ukraine's drones are just doign things like attacking planes and runways, so it won't really make them look bad on the international level. This should also force russia to pull EW and anti-air from the front in Ukraine, giving the attackers less of a chance to win. |
Haha, taking Houthi tactics of disrupting Ben Gurion air traffic with threats and daily missiles that mostly don't do any damage.
They do it to keep setting off the air raid alarms reminding people the genocide is still going, as well as costing Israel a lot of money to intercept each missile.
Hopefully it will be more effective against Russia although Putin has even less issues suppressing his own citizens :/ Disrupting air traffic has a similar effect as sanctions anyway, costly.
