Nearly three days later, the Russian army launched a large-scale air strike against Ukraine, and the entire Ukraine sounded the air defense alarm, and explosions occurred in many areas such as Kiev Prefecture , Odessa Prefecture and Vinnica Prefecture . Air defense alarms sounded in Lviv, Vinnica, Nikolayev , Zaporoze and other places.
Russian army used the Tu-95MS strategic bomber Kh-101 cruise missile launched from the Caspian , the 3M14 caliber cruise missile launched from the Black Sea ship, and the land-based 9M279 cruise missile launched from the Kursk area. The Russian army also launched the Iskander tactical ballistic missile, the S300 air defense missile for ground attack, and the Shahed-136 drone made by Iran .
Many places in Ukraine have not even sounded air defense alarms for more than half a year, and there is no atmosphere of war at all. How can this work? Russia needs to maintain the air strikes so that the entire Ukraine will sound an air defense alarm every day. This is what war should look like, a familiar recipe and a familiar taste.
has preliminary calculations. In the three rounds of missile strikes against Ukrainian missiles in two days, the Russian army launched a total of 190 missiles of various types, including many S-300 surface-to-air missiles and KH-22. The real cruise missile , such as KH-101, 9M279 and a caliber number of about 150.
This Russian air strike focused on using the KH-101 cruise missile launched by the Tu-95MS bomber, and dozens of them were fired. This type of missile only became combat-effective in 2014, and the Russian army had not many stocks, perhaps only a few hundred. Since the beginning of the Russian-Ukraine War, KH-101 missiles have been rarely used, and this time there has been a big wave.
The Russian army's three waves of missile air strikes in two days, the firepower intensity is equivalent to the strike intensity of the Russian-Ukrainian war for one week, and it fired 50 cruise missiles a day (the Russian army maintained this intensity for half a month at the beginning of the war, and fired an average of 45 to 50 missiles a day, and then disappeared from it).
The Russian army's strike intensity is an economical and well-off intensity. If this strike intensity can be maintained for one week to 10 days, it can also have a certain impact on Ukraine. In that case, NATO support weapons should be upgraded, such as the ATACMS Army tactical missile with a range of 300 kilometers.
Russian State Duma Party member Peter Tolstoy called on Russian armed forces to carry out "strategic bombing" on Ukraine, launch more missiles, and completely destroy all large infrastructure in Ukraine. Destroy Ukraine's power stations, power grids, airports, roads and railway bridges, arsenals, arsenals and fuel depots, etc.
Completely destroy Ukraine and fight Ukraine back to the 18th century!
Now, many Russians mentioned "strategic bombing", which has been forgotten by everyone in recent years. In recent decades, in addition to the strategic bombing of Germany and Japan by the United States and Britain during the World War II , the closest thing to strategic bombing should be the bombing of Iraq and Yugoslavia , which basically destroyed the important infrastructure and war strength of these two countries.
For Russia, strategic bombing seems too far away and is not something that can be achieved, so I guess I will just talk about it. Because Ukraine obtained a large number of Western surface-to-air missiles , coupled with the Russian Air Force's poorestness, Russian Air Force has no ability to strategically bomb Ukraine.
About strategic bombing, something happened in history. During World War II, the Soviet Union was drooling at the US B-17 and B-29 strategic bomber and proposed to use the lease bill to obtain the US-made strategic bomber . Then it was firmly rejected by the United States.
On the one hand, the United States does not want to provide advanced strategic bombers, but on the other hand, it also puts forward a reason. Strategic bombing requires a large amount of war resources and cannot be carried out by any country. With the Soviet Union's wartime industrial capabilities, it is not enough to support strategic bombing of Germany.
In a total war, various strike plans must be comprehensively measured, and they need to be accurately and calmly calculated, and a way to save war resources is adopted, rather than bombing for face. The most typical example is the example of Nazi Germany's left and right jump on the British bombing and finally failing to destroy Britain.
If you want to completely destroy an industrialized country like Ukraine with a population of 40 million, it is definitely not enough to launch dozens of cruise missiles every day. You need to send bomber and attack aircraft to carry out large-scale precise airdrop bombs. You must first attack or suppress Ukraine's air defense system , and then throw tens of thousands of precise guided bombs to completely destroy Ukraine.
You said, can Russia do it?
