We guessed the day before yesterday that Russia may have carried out a retaliation strike against Ukraine due to the Crimea Bridge incident, but it has controlled the intensity of and . The Russian counterattack began. About 200 various cruise missiles were launched in one day, hitting more than a dozen major cities in Ukraine. Then Putin announced that the Russian army used high-precision weapons to strike Ukrainian infrastructure on the morning of the 10th, including Ukrainian energy facilities, military management facilities and communication facilities, achieving the operational goals, and all predetermined targets were hit. And the Secretary of Defense Shoigu has been ordered to report the results of the operation. The news from
fully demonstrates that there have been rumors that there have been dismissals of Shoigu and Gerasimov . Russian media also reported that the missile hit Zelensky's office and the office building of the Secret Service
Since according to Putin, the Russian army's targets selected for this strike operation were hit, let's look at what the targets are. I feel that some of them are a bit confusing and seem to have profound meaning.
This time, the situation of Kiev is that several power plants and substation facilities were bombed. I can understand this, energy goal. However, the video shows that when attacking the fifth thermal power station in Kiev, a missile hit substation , and another cruise missile avoided the power plant and oil depot and landed on the ground hundreds of meters away. It seems that there is another street statue that has also encountered missile attacks. We need to know whose statue it was, which caused the beheading operation.
In addition, it hit the ground below the glass trek next to the Philharmonic Orchestra. Russia bombed this tourist bridge, probably because the bridge was named Ukraine-Russia Friendship Bridge, and this bridge is still alive, which shows that Ukraine-Russia friendship can still withstand the test of Russian missiles. In addition, I also shot an children's amusement park, , the Shepchenko Museum and the intersection near the Ministry of Education. The South Korean Samsung company's building was beaten, which contained the office of the German Embassy. Some time ago, Germany refused to provide Ukraine with heavy weapons such as tank .
These missile landing points confirm the Russian media's statement, which are all around 1 to 2 kilometers away from Zelensky's office and the Ukrainian National Security Agency. If there is no traffic jam, it only takes one minute to drive.
In addition, a missile was also hit near the Romanian Embassy, with a distance of more than 800 meters. Kiev now counts that after the three-wave missile attack, a total of 5 important municipal facilities were damaged to varying degrees, including 45 residential buildings, 6 schools, 5 medical institutions, 6 cultural institutions, and several social institutions and administrative institutions office buildings.
So I think it is difficult to understand why the Russian army hit these targets accurately. What strategic considerations are there here.
Some time ago, Russia's attack on the Ukrainian power system could reduce the efficiency of the Ukrainian railway transportation system. The attack on the Ukrainian reservoir dam could exert the garden mouth effect and prevent the Ukrainian army from advancing. Ukraine's attack on the Crimea Bridge was also a target of the Russian army's logistics supply, which could be considered as a choice of a battle or strategic node target. But Putin's retaliation operation this time, more than 200 cruise missiles, and a batch of science, education, culture and health facilities. Is it because he hopes that Russian children can win at the starting line?
Now I see two explanations, one is that Russia's precision guidance technology is indeed not good, and the attack accuracy is too poor. This is the current mainstream view. In addition, there are experts who believe that Putin's crackdown is more to warn Ukraine than to really take ruthless measures, which is more controversial.
Actually, in my opinion, since Putin wants to fight back and does not want to really fight a situation where the war is uncontrollable, he can completely make up his mind to use these 200 cruise missiles to strike the bridge on the Dnieper River , and cut off the logistics supply of the Ukrainian army from western Ukraine to Donbas , Donetsk , Kharkov and other places. Even if it is focused on attacking several airports of the Ukrainian army, making these airports unable to repair for a long time, it is much better than fighting a target that does not affect the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian army in so many cities. This current style of play is more like a matter of face and exaggeration. It is not so much to win the war, but rather to be a domestic Russian.
