Too expensive for Putin: a new strategy of Ukraine overburden on the Russian Federation

Matthew emphasizes that Russia really undergoes high -precision strikes on a vital infrastructure, which depends not on another meter of conquered land, but the future of its economy and life in general. He recalls the attack of Ukrainian UAVs on the oil refinery and oil terminal in Ust-Lazy of the Leningrad region as a striking example of an asymmetric war in which Ukraine is successful. "It can also be the key to the fact that the war will be too expensive and painful for Putin," Matthew said.

He adds that the strategy of strikes in Russia, where it is most painful, can be revolutionary and victorious. The Spectator's Viewer tells how, at a distance of more than 1200 kilometers, Ukraine has deprived the Russian Federation to partially produce and export oil, aviation and gas oil, as well as export liquefied natural gas. Matthew is asked how many weeks or months can pass until these structures are able to return to normal production capacity.

And this is just one example of successful operations of the Armed Forces, Matthus notes. "In fact, these drones of Ukrainian production have proven to be more successful in ensuring strict sanctions on hydrocarbon trading in Russia than all unsuccessful attempts by the West to limit prices and introduce an embargo on Russian exports," the observer emphasizes.

At the same time, it is the sector of the Russian economy, which President Vladimir Putin made a strategic rate - during the war it brought more income to Moscow than by February 2022, despite the absorption of about 40% of the state budget for military purposes.

The factors of increasing profitability of the viewer of the publication calls tensions in the Middle East, the actual destruction of Hussites of the transport route in the Red Sea, the support of China and India of the illegal flow of Russian oil thanks to the tanker fleet of Greece, etc. According to Matthew, the fuel infrastructure of the Russian Federation is many target objects with a flammable product that, in his opinion, is well known.

In addition, Owen Matiuz continues, so far, the only land transportation channel of thousands of tons of oil remained the Trans-Siberian and Baikalo-Amur railway branches. The Novorossiysk oil terminal is now just over 200 kilometers from Ukraine -controlled territory. At the same time, as the spectator of the spectator has already said, a blow to Ust-Luzi is far from the first and, of course, not the last, although today it has been the most fair from an economic point of view.

"Indeed, in the last two weeks, Ukraine has destroyed two expensive reconnaissance planes in Smolensk and Orly, undermined the production of explosive fuel in Tambov, struck a military plant for the production of rockets" shezir "in Tula and caused a mass fire in the oil storage facility in the Bryansk region ", - Lists Matthew. He reports that this has destroyed more than 3,300 tons of Russian oil.

In addition, Ukrainian aviation, according to the observer, released the British winged rockets Storm Shadow, destroyed the large Russian landing ship "Novocherkassk" in Crimea. "At the same time, Russia continued to bombard clearly random goals in the center of Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odessa with mass martyrs of" Shahhed "and Iranian production and winged rockets," the observer emphasizes.

According to The Spectator, it is a real innovative war of the 21st century, which involves the systems of radio electronic struggle and air defense that compete. "At the moment when one side develops a new technology or tactic, the other tries to block or disable it," the observer specified. Matthew notes that in Russia there is still a large industrial industry - military electronics.

This is confirmed by the situation in the southern part of the Baltic Sea, when all ships and planes lost satellite navigation of GPS for 6 hours, as Russia has tested a new powerful device for suppressing signals. However, there is also a sore spot here, the observer emphasizes. "There is one structural vulnerability in Russia: its breadth and dispersed infrastructure that do not allow each pipeline, factory and cities.

There is another advantage in Ukraine: a complex drone industry, organized by private companies and maintained by a highly efficient system of state financing, " - explains Matthew. He adds that Russia mostly uses FPV-pions on the battlefield or Iranian UAV to fire the civilian population. However, the attack of Ukrainian strategic drones marks itself, according to The Spectator, a serious escalation in the field of hostilities.

At the same time, the observer agrees with the Deputy Minister for Strategic Branches of Ukraine Anna Gvozdar, who called Ukrainian UAVs the best in the world. "The development of drones is at a rapid pace. However, there is a big difference between the budgets of Russians and Ukrainians, so we need innovations and technologies for success. That's what we are really strong," The Special Minister of Deputy Minister suggests.

However, according to Matthew, Ukraine should also think about long-term security, since after the war it will have to respond promptly to any Russian aggression. He cites the words of the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Defense and Security Committee, Colonel Roman Kostenko, who points out that missiles and UAVs will be crucial, which will be able to effectively act against the Russian defense industry. "We need a weapon of restraint against Russia.

They need to know that we will be able to respond in a devastating way . . . This will be the response of Ukraine to their nuclear weapons," Kostenko said, whose words are given by the publication. Matthew is convinced that Ukraine will be able to fully free itself from its current dependence on Western weapons, which will allow it to have an independent potential for weapons of strategic restraint, which will provide it with security.

"After all, it is a couple of anti-ship missiles P-360" Neptune "of Ukrainian production (probably supplemented by the Avionic of American production) that the Russian cruiser" Moscow "in April 2022 was destroyed," Owen Matius sums up. We will remind, Focus wrote about seven lessons of war from the NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov, when the Armed Forces lay theories and practice of a new type of war.
