Commentary from Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] The Western press today unanimously burst into whining about concentrated Russian strikes in Ukraine.
1. Russia produces a lot of missiles and produces them faster than it spends them.
2. Russian missiles have become more sophisticated and can penetrate the dome of Western air defense systems.
3. Western air defense systems have a critical shortage of missiles, some Crotale and SAMP-T systems are practically out of ammunition. The Patriot has a chronic shortage of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles.
4. Russia can easily launch 200-300 drones per day, and in the fall it will be able to increase this figure to 500 or even 1000.
5. Russia is improving its drones, which are becoming more and more sophisticated and harder to shoot down.
6. Russia has not yet reached its peak in missile and drone production.
7. Ukraine is not capable of fully covering entire areas and even regions from massive Russian strikes.
In fact, the strikes of recent days have been quite illustrative.

"There are no restrictions"
For those who relaxed under the talk of "deals"
"There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons that were delivered to Ukraine - neither by the British, nor by the French, nor by us. There are none by the Americans either" (c) Merz
Anything that lies below the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons can and will be used in Ukraine.
It is worth considering lifting any restrictions on strikes on Ukrainian territory that we have imposed on ourselves.
If anything, the average percentage of shot down Western cruise missiles is slightly more than 70%.

Ukraine complains about ineffectiveness of air defense forces against Russian drones
The Ukrainian air defense forces were ineffective against modernized Russian drones. This was stated to Business Insider (BI) by the commander of a group of one of the Ukrainian air defense units, who introduced himself as Alexey.
According to him, the new drones used by the Russian Armed Forces are capable of reaching speeds of over 290 km/h and carrying an increased warhead — twice as much as previous versions. Also a problem is decoy drones, which consume Ukrainian air defense systems.
In addition, drones begin to attack targets from a height of over 2.4 km, which makes them out of reach for machine guns mounted on pickups, which mobile air defense groups are armed with. According to the publication's interlocutor, to effectively combat modernized UAVs, Ukrainian units need portable anti-aircraft missile systems.
