Ukrainian Drone Strikes Disable Nearly Two-Thirds of Wildberries' Largest Logistics Hubs

Ukrainian drone strikes have disabled nearly two-thirds of Wildberries' largest logistics hubs over the past two weeks, according to DroneBomber.
According to DroneBomber, as of August 2, around 16 of the company's largest warehouse complexes had been put out of operation.

The source noted that Wildberries operates approximately 200 logistics facilities across Russia, meaning the damaged sites account for about 8% of the company's total logistics infrastructure.
However, DroneBomber argued that the overall percentage does not reflect the full extent of the disruption because the strikes were concentrated on the company's largest distribution centers.
According to the assessment, Wildberries has only 26 major logistics hubs with an area exceeding 15,000 square meters. Of those, 16 facilities—roughly 62%—have been disabled.

“These are the warehouses through which the majority of the company's cargo flow passed, so their loss has a disproportionately greater impact on logistics than the overall number of damaged facilities might suggest,” DroneBomber said.
Separately, Russian Forbes reported that Wildberries lost at least 17% of its total warehouse space during July as a result of drone attacks. According to the outlet, facilities with a combined area of 1.21–1.47 million square meters came under attack by August 2, with 893,000–1.154 million square meters reportedly damaged. That represents between 17.2% and 22.2% of the company's declared logistics infrastructure.

Forbes estimated that losses incurred by sellers using the platform have already approached approximately $3.5 billion, with hundreds of thousands of businesses potentially affected.
The disruption has also affected Russia's military logistics. According to Yurii Fedorenko, commander of Ukraine's 429th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade, Russian forces have begun rationing drone-related equipment after Ukrainian strikes on Wildberries logistics centers destroyed stockpiles of components intended for unmanned systems.
