@SimonJohnBowden Russia was launching far more missiles per day in the opening months of the war. They will never fully run out of missiles but the expenditure rate has decreased and that is militarily significant. We are seeing ~3 mass missile attacks per month right now. — PolitiTweet.org

@einsteinradler UAVs are playing an important role, but people are missing many of their limitations.
