The immediate impact of these strikes is in forcing Russia to commit air defense resources to protect places hundreds of miles from the front, that they’d otherwise have deployed against the Ukrainian offensive. Getting that for the cost of a few drones is a huge win for Ukraine.

Ah, that’s good to know. Thanks.

Even assuming my ancient Discord login still works (didn’t they make everyone change their names or something? idk if that affects accounts) it doesn’t look like you can use it on a phone without downloading the app, and I’m not doing that just to check for Lemmy announcements. Discuss controversial decisions there if you have to, but announce them here first.
