This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Future battle rifles might consider an over/under rifle/shotgun to give troops some kind of defense against this.
I'd rather have birdshot to have a prayer bringing that down.

Ukraine has reduced the number of launches of long-range missiles, in particular American ATACMS, probably because their stock is running out, as well as because of a possible change in the policy of the U.S. President-elect Donald Trump regarding strikes deep into russia.​
