    Russia’s air defenses are being stretched, putting the country in a position where it has to decide what to protect.

    Air defenses have been one of the most crucial pieces of weaponry in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and both sides have been using them to defend against drone and missile attacks and to stop each other’s aircraft from flying into their air space.

    But because of Ukraine’s successful strikes and recent tactics, Russia now has to decide where to put its air defenses.

    And that’s giving Ukraine new opportunities to target weaker areas, warfare experts have told Business Insider.
