Russo-Ukrainian war, day 1636: Ukraine’s new targeting system puts a price tag on every strike

Russia's Arena-M active protection system, despite finally reaching the front, is struggling to stop the volume of Ukrainian FPV drones.

Russo-Ukrainian war, day 1636: Ukraine’s new targeting system puts a price tag on every strike

As the 1,636th day of the Russo-Ukrainian war unfolded, Ukraine introduced a new targeting system that assigns financial value to each strike. One such strike involved a drone that hit a Russian Banderol missile storage site, causing significant damage. Meanwhile, Ukraine struggled to find enough male workers for restaurants, with a 29% decline in male candidates aged 18-22 in hospitality and retail sectors.

In a surprising move, Ukraine successfully landed a gun-armed robot on a Russian beach, prompting Russia to retaliate by targeting Ukrainian boats. Despite NATO's diminished deterrence against Russia, a potential new coalition could alter Russia's calculus regarding Ukraine's alliance with European military powers. Meanwhile, Sberbank's record dividend remains frozen for Western shareholders due to Russia's restrictions on international transfers.

Ukraine's innovative approach includes a Bebradron-M drone with a minimal payload, designed to ensure a high return on investment for each successful strike.
