Regional conflicts are expanding and intensifying in the shadows

Ukraine and Russia are now burning through 400+ drones per day on high-intensity days in a relentless cross-border drone and missile war.
Latvia is reporting repeated airspace violations as Russian electronic warfare and stray drones spill over NATO borders.
Cuba’s severe economic collapse and fuel shortage have forced multiple international airlines to suspend or drastically cut flights to the island.
Major payment processors and financial institutions are rapidly pulling out of the Cuban market.
Energy infrastructure has become a primary target across both Europe (Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil facilities) and the Middle East (ongoing attacks on ports, refineries, and tankers).

The air war has turned into a brutal numbers game — a war of attrition that is draining resources, manpower, and economies on all sides.
