History

Historical Context

In March 1999 NATO launched Operation Allied Force, flying over 38,000 combat missions and striking dual-use sites such as Belgrade’s power plants and telecom facilities, which Yugoslav officials later estimated cost about $100 billion in damage. Decades later, Ukrainian missiles hit Wildberries warehouses in Koledino and Domodedovo, disabling roughly one-third of the retailer’s capacity, echoing the earlier use of commercial-infrastructure attacks to pressure adversaries.
