Episode Details

Ukraine just struck a Russian defense-industrial facility tied to missile launchers and Iskander systems — exactly the kind of target Russia cannot afford to lose. The larger story is not just that Ukraine hit another factory. It is that Russia’s air defense is stretched, concentrated around Putin, Moscow, and Crimea, while critical military production sites are increasingly exposed. Ukraine is not just answering Russian missile attacks. It is going after the system that makes them possible.
