Russia is countering Ukrainian drone strikes with rolling blackouts of mobile Internet access in cities across the country, making the β€œnot a cell phone in sight, just ppl living in the moment” meme into a national security doctrine.

Defeating the Golden Dome will come down to Russia’s experimental Burevestnik and whatever explosives the cartels can strap to a cheap Chinese drone.
