Last week, Russia launched the largest airstrikes of the war so far, using hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles to strike targets across Ukraine. Civilian targets seem to be Moscow’s preference. Sometimes, Russians will even strike a residential building, wait a few hours for first responders to arrive, and then purposely strike the same location again.This savage way of war, first perfected by Russia against the people of Grozny in the 1990s, and later refined with its atrocities in Bucha, is now being delivered from the skies against Ukrainian civilians.Surprisingly, the large number of drones is not the main problem. Ukrainian innovation and creativity have allowed it to develop counter-drone systems unmatched globally. Even the U.S. military is now relying on Ukrainian technology to defend against Iranian drones in the Middle East. And when it comes to Russia’s slower but still deadly cruise missiles, the F-16s provided by Ukraine’s partners can get the job done.
