Russia is low on precision missiles, and the sanctions will affect its replenishment/ supply lines.

Thats why we can see them using Iranian drones more akin to the v1 bombers.


This is not fact actually but supposition on wishful thinking.

Drones are a small fraction of the cost of what a cruise missile is. That's the real reason they would rather use drones over missiles, especially for non crucial targets.

I posted about this awhile back actually.

Kalibr cruise missile cost =6.5 million
Shaheed drone cost = ~20k per

That means you could fire over 300 drones for the cost of one Kailbr missile. It's about cost/benefit.

I just did with common sense and math. If you can't follow the logic why they would use much cheaper ways to strike then idk what to tell you.

When I am dead, bury me
In my beloved Ukraine,
My tomb upon a grave mound high
Amid the spreading plain,
So that the fields, the boundless steppes,
The Dnieper's plunging shore
My eyes could see, my ears could hear
The mighty river roar.

When from Ukraine the Dnieper bears
Into the deep blue sea
The blood of foes ... then will I leave
These hills and fertile fields --
I'll leave them all and fly away
To the abode of God,
And then I'll pray .... But till that day
I nothing know of God.

Oh bury me, then rise ye up
And break your heavy chains
And water with the tyrants' blood
The freedom you have gained.
And in the great new family,
The family of the free,
With softly spoken, kindly word
Remember also me.

such as civilian infrastructure, waging a war of terror against the ukrainian people, targeting their power and heat infrastructure in the winter...

Because its cheaper to use drones does not equate to they are not running low on precision missiles.

Surprised you didn't sum up that his logic equates to Brexit being about British imperialism :D

this is also sound, I think it should be accepted that they are running low on weapons/missiles (all sides). i mean, its a war, its logical.

They continue to use Kalibr missile, much more sparingly than before. It's on you to produce evidence that they are out of them or running low, which i'd wager you have no way to do other than reference some western media outlet that repeated this without substantiation because they want it to be true. If the line of "Russia is running out of xyz" wasn't used a dozen times in the last 9 months or so, maybe i could give it the benefit of the doubt.

It make a lot more sense to save expensive missiles for high value targets versus default to room temperature iq takes like "they are out of missiles" for the 29th time this year.
