The world has air defense systems capable of countering such threats. Everyone must focus on this. Russia must feel that every step it takes to expand the war has consequences for it."
Bomb shelters will not help,
We see this as a suggestion that they're massively increasing, or they're trying to significantly increase, the throughput of this factory,
