“Ukraine likewise has no “defense system to respond to those kind of strikes”?!”

Actually, that’s false. Ukraine has already received some systems capable of defeating drone strikes, they just don’t have enough to cover the whole country. Still better than Russia’s situation, since Russian has zero capable defense systems and a much larger area they need to defend.

Remember when Mathias Rust flew from Finland into Red Square? Was 1987.

On May 28, 1987, West German Private Pilot Mathias Rust managed to make international headlines by flying his Reims Cessna 172P from Helsinki Finland to a spectacular landing in Moscow’s Red Square. His flight was both an amazing achievement, and an immense humiliation to the Soviet War Machine. Indeed, Gorbachev would attempt to use the fallout from this event to purge anti Glasnost and Perestroika elements from the Soviet Military. His success may be gauged by the Anti-Glasnost Coup of August 1991, which in its own way was a last-ditch effort by the Old Guard of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to maintain the old order.

So why is Ukraine sitting in rolling black outs and de- energization? This regional conflict will end when Vlad decides, and there is nothing the West can do about it.

Get used to it.
