Drone attacks on five Wildberries warehouses since July 18 have knocked out ~10% of the e-commerce giant's fulfillment capacity, disrupting delivery networks and forcing a costly rethink of logistics resilience in conflict zones. The shutdown of two centers and evacuation of a third highlight the immediate operational toll.
Wildberries, a pillar of Russia's e-commerce market with 8.5% of GDP, faces severe operational disruption after drone attacks on its warehouses. The 10% capacity loss threatens consumer delivery promises and may shift market share to rival Ozon, while raising fears of further strikes on civilian retail infrastructure.
The systematic drone strikes on Wildberries illustrate how unmanned systems—guided by electronic warfare and intelligence—pose a cyber-physical threat to commercial logistics. The attacks demand new defensive strategies that integrate physical security with cyber countermeasures.
