At first glance, logistics centers storing consumer goods appear to be purely civilian targets. But the reality is far more complicated.

For example, one can openly purchase drone bomb-release mechanisms or payload retention systems – equipment designed to carry and release explosives from drones. Wildberries sells them without restriction, complete with technical specifications.

    I sometimes read posts from Russian war bloggers on telegram, and there’s a tremendous amount of supplies for Russian troops that are provided through private donations or purchase by soldiers themselves, including things like motorcycles, body armor, and fpv drones. And a lot of it comes through online platforms like Wildberries (but also Ozon, Yandex and others). I don’t doubt part of the goal is to fuck the Russian economy and generally make life even more miserable for everyone there, but its very easy to make the case that these warehouses and distribution centers provide direct logistical support for the war against Ukraine.

    Also, because I’m a bad man who enjoys the suffering of entitled people, I love the videos of folks crying about how much money they lost. In conclusion, those are my two reasons why these are completely legitimate targets.

      I love seeing a Russian who lost an Amazon warehouse crying harder than a Ukrainian who lost their actual house.
