can indeed be said to be very surprising. The Russian army's intensive bombing operation on major cities in Ukraine has reached the fourth day so far, and there is still no sign of silence. After three days of bombing, we can be precise that the Russian army has undergone very obvious changes in the current tactics used in bombing, and the targets of the bombing have also undergone new targeted adjustments.
Russian army bombing of major cities in Ukraine entered the fourth day
According to the Ukrainian notification and the messages sent by Russian military reporters on the front line, after the Russian army launched a large number of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles in the first three days of the strike, it has now added a large number of drone units to be invested in the operation on this basis, and the target of the strike has also changed. In the previous content, I mentioned that the Russian army’s key targets in the first three days were actually aimed at important infrastructure such as electricity and hydraulics. From Kharkov in the east to Lviv in the west, none of the major cities in Ukraine, including Kiev in the capital of Ukraine, were spared. They were destroyed or completely eradicated in the bombing of high-precision guided munitions with the Russian army for three days and launching more than 400 missiles . The degree of damage was still increasing with the increase of the Russian army's strike.
In this air strike, the Russian army even used TU-95MS to carry the KH-101 cruise missile to launch a strike. The capital Kiev began to plan power supply, and large-scale mobile phone signals in urban areas were interrupted. Kharkov, the major eastern city in Kharkov, has directly entered the "water cutoff, power cutoff, signal cutoff". Even the subway, which is an important hub for urban rail transit, has stopped operating, which is enough to show the destructive power caused by the Russian army in the first three days. As time comes, the Russian army, which has caused a heavy blow to Ukraine's hydropower infrastructure, began to target new targets: the main air defense nodes and technical equipment of the Ukrainian army. With new goals, new equipment must be invested. The drone previously purchased by the Russian army from Iran has once again played an important role, and the specific tactical operation process is not difficult to understand. First, the Russian army will dispatch long-range, small targets, and low detectability Witness-136 drones to strike, and in this process, use these low-value cruise missiles to attract the Ukrainian air defense system to open fire.
warhead warhead mass is 50 kilograms, and the "Witness-136" is quite powerful. Whether it can shoot down Witness-136, once the Ukrainian army's air defense system opens fire, another Iranian-made integrated drone migrator-6, which is more than ten kilometers away, can immediately lock the target according to the fire and smoke when the Ukrainian air defense system opens, and at the same time guide the second wave of Witness-136, who have already been flying in the air, launching a strike on these Ukrainian air defense targets that have been exposed and locked. This happens to be an almost unsolvable problem for the Ukrainian air defense forces. If they remain silent and do not fire, they will be allowed to explode whatever they want. But once the fire is opened, you will inevitably face the ending of being targeted by the second wave of air strikes that followed. Without air supremacy and only relying on ground air defense, the Ukrainian army has almost no ability to knock out the migrator-6, which is the relay guide node of the drone group, and either do nothing or wait for the bombing. At least the Ukrainian air defense forces currently have no third situation to choose from.
"Migrator-6" has made up for the dilemma of the Russian army's lack of integrated drones for detection and attack. If we really want to talk about the tactics of "drone-guided drones" in "Is the first of the Russian army, it is not the first of its kind of testimonials-136 and Migrator-6 drones. Iran, a set of systematic tactics developed by himself, was learned from the Iranians and when the Russian army introduced these two drones. At present, it is particularly useful to deal with the Ukrainian air defense units on the battlefield. The witness of winning by quantity and low price -136 is used to trick the Ukrainian air defense units into firing, which is obviously a very cost-effective deal.After effectively attacking the exposed air defense firepower of the Ukrainian army, this also means that the Russian army's subsequent high-performance ammunition, such as cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, can achieve better strike effect. It can be seen that these drones from Iran are indeed very helpful to the Russian army.
"Witness-136" and "Migrator-6" are a combination of drones that have helped the Russian army greatly
In addition to continuing to carry out precise bombing and attacks with high-density and large ammunition projection, news of Russian army troops being stepping up preparations. According to the latest satellite images, the Russian army is building a defense line in the Hirsk area south of Lisichangsk City, Luhansk Prefecture. Interestingly, the Russian army has installed two rows of clearly visible dragon teeth piles in the front row of the defense line. This is an anti-tank fortification that has been used on a large scale as early as the World War II period. It has a good blocking effect on the front impact of large-scale mechanized clusters. In addition, there is a joint defense line composed of anti-vehicle trenches, anti-infantry trenches, armored vehicle bunkers, etc. It is obvious that the purpose of the Russian army to lay out these fortifications was obviously not to simply repair the earth map, but to mobilized troops who are about to complete the training and put into the battlefield on a large scale.

Frankly speaking, whether it is the Ukrainian army or the Russian army itself, they have more or less one kind of shortcomings and problems. The Ukrainian army caught strong men everywhere all day long, formed a Tianlinggai army to go to the front line, and headed against the mace composed of the Russian army's mechanized troops, and field heavy artillery cluster. They were so tired that they were bleeding and did not take the lives of casualties seriously. The Russian army will not talk about anything else, just take the mobilization troops we just mentioned as an example, which is actually a problem. Due to the legal constraints of "conscripts are not allowed to go abroad to fight" left by Yeltsin during the period, and the objective reality that the Russian army does need to go abroad to act in many cases. In terms of the development focus of the Russian army in recent years, it has actually been inclined to build and train the contract troops. Although the conscript troops have not been cancelled, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on the conscripts who have not mastered the ability to use advanced technical equipment to be the main force for one year.
You can clearly see rows of anti-tank cone fortifications
A realistic problem facing the Russian army is that many of the mobilized troops recalled this time are those who have only served one year of conscript service. Of course, there are veterans who have been demoted in contract soldiers and . However, we all know the principle of the barrel effect. The one that determines how much water a bucket can hold is not the longest board, but the shortest board. The combat effectiveness of modern troops is the same. How to mobilize these conscripts who are not experienced and have very high military literacy and perform relatively good combat power is the most important issue for the top Russian military leaders.
Frankly speaking, the Russian conscript troops are indeed not very strong
Obviously, the solution given by the new commander-in-chief of the Russian army is reliable enough. Although it sounds stupid to build a tough village to fight a stupid battle, it can actually withstand these systematic multi-dimensional fortifications, coupled with sufficient heavy firepower support and high-performance technical equipment, and have an advantageous defensive position. The mobilized troops with static brakes can actually withstand the attack of the Ukrainian army. Static defense and defending the front can also minimize the probability of making mistakes and battlefield mistakes in mobilized conscripts. It is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice to transfer these mobilized conscript troops to guard the defense line.
The strong men who forcibly captured by the Ukrainian army are not better than the Russian conscript
On the other hand, the Russian army's mobilization and return of the conscript corps are indeed limited in military quality and tactical qualities. They cannot be too hopeful, and they cannot be used as absolute main force. This is indeed true. But at the same time, we also have to see another key point, which is the quality of the Ukrainian military personnel today. To put it bluntly, it may even be worse than the Russian army's mobilization.How did the Wu army solve the problem of insufficient manpower? The men were caught in the nightclub late at night, and the Internet cafes were checked and the young people who were playing games were pulled away. They drove around the streets in conscription vehicles, and saw the right ones who were directly caught and sent to the front line. These were the real situations inside the Wu army that were caught and walked all over the ground. It is said that the Russian army's combat effectiveness of mobilizing conscripts is not high, so the level of the strong Tianlinggai army on the Ukrainian side is not much better. At the root of this, after nearly 8 months of fierce fighting, the Ukrainian army has actually completely lost the organizational capabilities of the air offensive battle, and the air force support is basically no.
Only when the defense is worry-free can the main force of the Russian army withdraw and invest in large-scale attacks
The only main combat method that the Ukrainian army can rely on is land attack and ground hard rush. On the premise that the U.S.-led NATO military aid supplies have been reduced by 155 shells, high-performance self-propelled artillery, and main battle tanks since September, the Ukrainian army's simple ground attack power is becoming increasingly limited. When the Ukrainian army, with limited personnel quality and equipment conditions, try to attack the three-dimensional and complete defense lines of the Russian army, how much effect can it achieve? This is another question that needs to be questioned.
Sulovikin's huge adjustment to the Russian military's strategy and tactics since taking office is obvious.
Further, if the Russian army is about to invest in these mobilized troops on the defensive line in the near future, they can really defend the defense line with the support of improved defensive positions and superior technical equipment. Then the main force of the Russian army, that is, the elite troops formed by contract soldiers, which can be removed from defensive operations, will have great room for play. It is completely predictable to choose a direction as a breakthrough to launch a new large-scale battle. This is also the biggest tactical change made by the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Russian army, General Su Luoweijin, so far. How much success can the Russian Army troops that are stepping up preparations for war at that time? Let's wait and see for now.
