RUSSIAN postmen will be armed with anti-drone weapons after a spate of Ukrainian attacks on Putin’s Amazon-style empire.
Dozens of Wildberries and Ozon warehouses have been battered by mass drone blasts from Ukraine – leaving the tyrant’s struggling economy in tatters.
Several depots have been burned to the ground after Ukraine battered the e-commerce giants for several days across August.
Now the rattled dictator is resorting to desperate measures – and equiping his postmen with anti-drone weapons.
But now the postal workers may be expected to shoot down explosive drones and tanks from Ukraine, according to The Telegraph.
In a decree signed off by Russia‘s prime minister Mikhail Mishustin, postmen will be given “special technical means” to counter “unmanned aerial, underwater and surface vessels and vehicles, autonomous land vehicles and other automated unmanned systems”.
It is unclear precisely what the “technical means” will be.
It comes after fiery blitzes on warehouses belonging to e-commerce platforms Ozon and Wildberries inflicted more than £7bn in damage.
