Ukraine hit a major Moscow oil refinery with ten different drones and missiles in a single coordinated strike on September 20th, including a mysterious new weapon called Pelican that still hasn't been identified.
I reconstruct how the attack got through Russia's air defenses, dig into what Pelican actually might be, and break down why ten different weapon types beats one exceptional one. It's also a preview of a lesson NATO still hasn't fully learned about long-range strike warfare.
