In the fourth year of the war, Ukraine suddenly found a real weak point for the Russian Federation. This is air traffic. Due to massive drone attacks in the European part of Russia, flights are paralyzed today. Airports are in collapse.

Planes are canceled or delayed for 8-10 hours. Thousands of passengers have accumulated at airports and cannot take off. To achieve such an effect, you don't even need to hit anywhere.

A drone can simply fly and cut circles, and this is enough to stop the operation of airports. Ukraine has nothing to lose in this regard - our airports have been closed since 2022. But in Russia, air traffic has still been maintained everywhere, except for border regions.

And then in the last day or so, the situation has changed. Russians felt what Ukrainians felt in 2022. Air traffic has been disrupted. And most importantly, it has been disrupted in Moscow, which is a key hub. Russian bloggers are already sounding the alarm.

They write that the collapse of air traffic in such a large country as Russia could lead to disintegration and feudalization. Domestic air traffic in Russia is very developed due to the long distances.

It takes 3-4 days to get to some regions from Moscow by train or car, so a plane is the only fast option. And if it is not there, the connection of remote regions with Moscow will actually simply stop.

I don't know why Ukraine didn't do this earlier and didn't use this trump card. But now we can state that a very unpleasant pain point for the Russian Federation has been found.
