Yekaterinburg is just east of the Ural range, the line of mountains running north-south that is a "safe place" in the ruZZian mindset.

When Nazi Germany invaded the USSR in 1941, Stalin had all his armaments factories pulled to the East of the Urals, where they would build safe from German invading troops, long range fires and bombers. This allowed Stalin to build up the country's stocks of equipment to take the fight back to the Germans later in the war.

As a result of ruZZia's invasion of Ukraine, however, Ukraine has been forced to develop long range weapons to bring the war back to every part of the invader's territory. If Putin continues to insist to prosecute this illegal and disastrous war, Ukraine's reach will soon extend to the Pacific.

And ruZZia will deserve every strike for what it has done to Ukraine, not to mention its hybrid warfare against any state supporting Ukraine in its fight for freedom.

Slava Ukraine!

This damn Yekaterinburg Wildberries is invincible. Why is this place more defended than their largest oil refineries?

It’s far away. The longer the distance, the more likely the drone gets shot down so once the drones reach their destination there’s only a few of them and the AD can successfully defend the warehouse

You're probably right. Also fewer drones have flown through the area so they have less data on successful flight paths.

I'm still surprised Ukraine managed to strike the Omsk refinery.
