Zelenskyy’s New Math: Why 1,000 Drones in Moscow Are Better Than 100

Original version ·

Want to end a war? Send enough drones to make the neighbors behind the Urals pack their bags. Zelenskyy explains why the Russian elite needs a very loud wake-up call.

How do you get a dictator to care about a war he started? Simple: you bring it to his doorstep. Or, more specifically, to his very expensive dacha.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently spilled the tea to the Financial Times about his theory of "deep strikes." Turns out, as long as the explosions are happening somewhere far away in Belgorod, Putin is totally chill. But once the sky over Moscow and St. Petersburg turns into a drone swarm light show, things change.

The real magic number is one thousand drones, according to Zelenskyy. When a hundred drones hit, it’s an annoyance. When a thousand drop in, the Russian elites — who actually live in those fancy cities and make the big decisions — will start sweating.

At that point, someone is going to gently suggest that maybe Putin should pack up his gold-plated pens and move somewhere safer, like behind the Urals. And as the logic goes, the further he runs from the capital, the faster this whole mess ends.

Packing bags for Siberia has never sounded so promising.

    1000 drones sounds like a solid weekend plan tbh
    +1 jokeNothing says 'productive weekend' like a swarm of drones, much better than just binge-watching a series

    +3 funnyCrowdfunding a forced retirement is a creative way to handle geopolitical tensions, though the travel agency might have some issues with the destination

    Let's be real here... the air defense around moscow is tight, but if we oversaturate it with a massive swarm, they wont even know what hit them. this is the only language they actually understand.
