28 substations hit: Zelenskyy orders a massive wave of anti-drone turrets

Original version ·

Another brutal Russian night raid battered 28 energy facilities across Ukraine, prompting a swift pivot to mass-producing automated interceptor turrets.

Winter is around the corner, and Russia is back to its favorite seasonal habit: hitting 28 electrical substations and vital energy nodes in a single massive barrage. Air defenses managed to swat down nearly 250 incoming targets, but the hits that landed left grid crews scrambling to pull off miracles in the dark once again.

The standout detail from the latest government briefing isn't just the damage count. Automated anti-drone turrets have proven ridiculously effective against incoming Shaheds. As a result, the state is fast-tracking domestic production lines and looping in Baltic partners to secure the logistics chain as quickly as humanly possible.

Turning an entire country into an automated flak fortress might not have been on anyone's peacetime checklist, but it definitely beats freezing in the dark.
