That's a good economic use of the expensive missile, but I wonder about their use against targets that have little bearing on the outcome of the UA/Russia war.

There are loads of unsold Ukrainian agriculture products like wheat or sunflower which they try to push somehow on EU market including Poland... But our government won't balk as this would mean CERTAIN loss of general election next month - farmers are perhaps the most loyal electorate of our current government and loss of their votes would finish this government.

Russia may not have the capability to repair or replace them. If they are damaged, and I think at least one was, then that could take some years to recover.

I apologize for the political nature of the read but it seems to portray a step back from wokeness to values people want in their lives, and a step away from enslavement towards more money in their pockets as I see it. A step towards "better" politics perhaps?

I was hoping you'd make a prediction as to when you think the dry docks will be back in service.
