At this point every strike hurts them deeper and delays their recovery. The economic cost of theses strikes will last for years.

Soon there will be shortages in the stores.

Harvest season is also coming. Russia will have dedicate massive amount of fuel to agriculture and getting the harvest in.

Russia will have dedicate massive amount of fuel to agriculture and getting the harvest in.

Which will totally led to farmers selling that fuel on the black market. Why spend it to harvest some unprofitable wheat when you simply can sell the fuel to desperate people?

The more likely issue is that people will steal the fuel from the farmers. This happens every time the prices on fuel goes up globally.

Oh yeah, the more of us doing the more it goes up. Wonder when Ukraine will open up drone program to allies as well to vastly increase output.

Can do a program competition to get most talented candidates then 2nd program to onboard them into foreign legions. They would need to be at places where they can be supervised but still would be very beneficial and vastly upgrade how much what can be done

The Moscow Times, citing Russian Ministry of Defense data, reported that Russia claimed to have “intercepted” more than 63,900 Ukrainian drones during the first half of 2026

By intercept, do they mean this giant fuel tank stopped a drone dead in its tracks?

Seriously though, even if only 1% are getting through, that's still hundreds finding their mark.

Fun fact: that oil tank with the floating lid that blew off was destroyed by one of Russia’s own air defense missiles.

The next 57% should be fun, likely easier as well.

Mostly, dont know how they will reach the ones fully on other side of Russia though. Maybe sending boats/sub's full of drones all the way over there then launch drones

My guess is that russia will do the work for them on that one. But who knows, in this day and age I would not be shocked if Nepal just started taking russian land. Ukraine has shown they can get drones far far away, wonder if they set any records so far?

A competition scoreboard of farthest successful drone strikes would be a sight to see

Just think about how resiliant an electostate could be against such attacks. People producing their own energy locally in tens of thousands of locations. People charging their cars with the energy produced on their own roofs. People heating their homes with the wind turbines near their towns. That is so much harder to destroy than some refineries and big power stations
