Wildberries in Russia actively sold military equipment to Russian soldiers and they did it openly, making it a legitimate military target. Although, economic warfare is probably the main purpose of Ukrainian strikes on Wildberries, which is the Amazon of Russia.
Sanctions and attacking Russia’s shadow fleet have hurt Russia’s economy, but Russia isn’t spending less on its military, it’s just making its citizens worse off.

Drones are changing warfare, but they are not the super weapon that they sometimes seem to be. They work best in combination with a variety of weapons. It usually takes many drones to take out a tank.
In many situations, mortars are more effective than FPV drones.
FPV drones can’t fly far, can’t see well at night, don’t work well when it’s cloudy, are vulnerable to jamming, and have light payloads. Mortars are better in these respects. You can make a drone that doesn’t have these disadvantages, but at that point, you have an attritable weapon that is much more expensive than a mortar shell.

It could take a long time to actually start producing missiles.

The world underestimated Russia’s ability to rebuild its military and its willingness to invade other countries. Yet, people don’t think there’s any possibility of Russia invading countries other than Ukraine! NATO and the United States better remain wary and prepared.

Ukraine’s medium strike with drones has gotten really good. This makes it hard to get supplies and reinforcements to the front and forces personnel and equipment further from the front line, increasing traveling time, which creates: delays, wear and tear on vehicles, and more vulnerable road time.

The US desperately needs to learn how to use and mass produce drones or it will be behind on an ongoing military revolution that is killing a majority of soldiers in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Russians killed in Ukraine is close to the total US killed during World War Two.
