Ucraina, il futuro del conflitto passa dalla battaglia dei cieli: droni per contrastare avanzata russa e nodo Patriot

The future of the Russia–Ukraine conflict increasingly depends on control of the skies: Kyiv’s drones to slow Russian advances and strike targets and energy infrastructure inside Russia, and Moscow’s ballistic missiles to hit Ukrainian cities and military sites. A shortage of Patriot interceptors, the U.S.-made missiles, is increasingly felt and benefits Russia’s attrition strategy. “Russia’s strategy rests on a cold calculation: to wear down Ukrainian defenses before its own protective network collapses,” the New York Times writes.
