Russia Is Losing Things It Can't Easily Replace - Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦



Ukraine launched a major strike campaign against Russia, with drones reaching the Moscow region, Moscow airports disrupted, and the Dubna space communications center confirmed hit. At the same time, Ukraine struck a Voronezh semiconductor plant tied to Russian missile systems, rail infrastructure in occupied Berdyansk, and key logistics routes connected to Crimea. The pattern is clear: Ukraine is trying to make it harder for Russia to produce missiles, train drone operators, coordinate military communications, and sustain operations in occupied territory. Russia can replace cheap drones. It cannot easily replace the critical systems that keep its war machine running.
