⚠️ Атака дронов на Москву: введут военное положение?

Main Argument

Multichel argues that repeated drone incursions into Moscow, following an earlier strike on the Kapotnya oil refinery, show that attacks are becoming a pattern rather than isolated incidents. He says Moscow’s layered air defenses have already been penetrated and questions whether the authorities can protect the city or quickly restore damaged infrastructure.

He considers two possible explanations for the limited defenses: a lack of political will or a lack of practical capacity. He leans toward the latter.

Possible Escalation

Using a chess analogy, Multichel outlines how the situation could escalate: more drones might get through, attacks could grow in scale, and strikes on energy or other infrastructure could disrupt electricity, water, heating, fuel deliveries, communications, and food supplies.

He speculates that the government may face difficult decisions around August and after the September elections, potentially including mobilization or tighter restrictions. He also warns that formally declaring war could curtail civil liberties. These are his forecasts and opinions, not established outcomes.

Advice to Moscow Residents

Much of the commentary warns Moscow residents to prepare for a prolonged emergency. Multichel recommends setting aside money for basic supplies and considering backup power, fuel, water, heating, and ways to leave the city.

He cautions that moving to a dacha or rural village may not be a simple solution. Homes may lack stoves or firewood, villages may not have the capacity to support an influx, and people may have responsibilities toward vulnerable neighbors.

Multichel contrasts Muscovites’ presumed lack of experience with hardship against Kyiv residents’ experience of a difficult winter. He argues that there is currently no reliable “wonder weapon” capable of stopping drone attacks or preventing their production from expanding.
