🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia handed Ukraine a brutal math problem.
A cheap cruise missile called Banderol is now hammering Black Sea ports.
It flies too fast for the usual interceptor drones, hits harder than a Shahed, and costs a fraction of the air-defense missiles needed to stop it.
Ukraine is being forced to spend big money to counter something that costs next to nothing.
In this war, the cheapest weapon is creating the most expensive headache.
