Peter Zeihan: Russia Gets Knocked Off Its Horse

Thought Leader: Peter Zeihan
July 1, 2026

Ukraine has struck a key semiconductor facility in Voronezh that could significantly weaken the Russians’ ability to produce advanced military equipment.

Russia is already struggling to replace military hardware lost in the war, and damage to this facility (and the other major chip plant near Moscow) would force it to depend heavily on Chinese components. These would be less compatible with Russian military systems and would reduce the quantity and quality of Russia’s weapons.

As Ukraine continues to expand its drone capabilities with foreign support, we’re entering a new phase of this war where Russian tech limitations play a bigger role on the battlefield.
