Middle east summer without working running water, electricity for aircon, water desalination etc would indeed be be "ugly, not good".
One of Ukraine's successful tactics is damaging their opponent's petroleum processing and export facilities with "cheap drones", to deny them income. These facilities are very flammable if you try. That tactic would translate exactly.

- SideburnsOfDoom 8mo agoIran and Russia are are loosely allied, so I'm sure that Iran is capable of learning from Russia. Taking out power and heat in winter won't work so well in the middle-east, but I suppose that taking out power and cooling in summer is analogous.
- bluegatty 8mo agoThe Shahed drones Russia is using are of Iranian origin, though now mostly made in Russia in factories setup and supplied by China. Hitting airports and hotels alone will rattle those places very hard. And with Hormuz closed it could cause severe damage to their economic systems, it's not a joke.
- SideburnsOfDoom 8mo agoBoth sides are hitting oil processing facilities as well now. And water desalination. It's indeed no joke.
