  1. Sad to see Ukraine wasting drones on attacks in Moscow instead of the railway bridges used to supply the Russian military with weapons and ammunition.

  2. Closing a Russian airport disrupts plans of many civilian travelers, forcing them to be aware there is a war. W-A-R. Not a S-M-O.

    Mild payback for the regular drone attacks on Ukraine big cities, that disrupt civilian life by making them seek shelters.

    My opinion, I am not a general, most Ukraine drone attacks should hit military targets. However it is good to have a few that discombobulate Russian civilians. These counter Putin’s propaganda that he can attack another country, with no consequences.

    Also, closing Moscow or St Petersburg airports is *embarrassing.* Important upper-class Russians use these. Forces Russia to spread AA defenses to more places, making the Russian defenses over real military targets thinner.

    Btw, railway bridges are hard to destroy. Their open structure dissipates blast waves. Needs BIG warheads, more than most light to medium drones can carry. Or precisely timed attacks that hit a train carrying explosives.
