War Reports - 2023-11-19

It seems that the mere presence of airborn MiG-31s has had such an effect on Ukrainian economics that Zelensky publicly announced on telegram today he has asked for air alerts to no longer respond to them.

“Gave a separate order today to the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff to respond to the bearers of "daggers" who stop our country for hours due to an air alert. Our level of air defense and, in general, readiness for missile threats allows us to somewhat modernize the response - without unnecessary stops in the country. It is important to millions of our people. I am waiting for suitable offers.”

Which…I suppose is rather the case already.
