Warehouses, not bunkers!??? sarge43 Sep 21 #1
Makes sense that the odd drone hit on some block in Moscow gets thru, but how do they get to ammo depots? dutch777 Sep 21 #2
Neither NATO nor the U.S. provide targeting data. They just leave the map room unlocked. 😁 Wonder Why Sep 21 #3

Jumpin' Jebbus on a pogo stick. They had years to install harden bunkers, but too many grifters on the take. Also there's god knows how much unexploded ordinance is out there in the grass and woods biding its time, an EOD nightmare. One more time Vlad, ordinance is an equal opportunity destroyer; it doesn't care who you are.

The Russians are pretty good at air defense but sure, they can't protect every block everywhere. But the ammo depots you would think are top protection priorities. Ukrainians certainly do a lot with limited resources. I am sure they are getting the detailed targeting data from us/NATO which Putin surely knows as well and must just really tick him off. Joy!
