Massive missile attacks on Ukraine testify to the obvious: The Kremlin understands that Russian troops are exhausted, almost all human resources and weapons are running out . And in Russia itself, an internal squabble begins, and Putin can only intimidate the West and Ukraine with terrorist acts and nuclear weapons.
All shelling of Ukrainian territory does not make any strategic sense, since Ukraine has clearly seized the initiative at the front, succeeding in a counteroffensive. The shelling is intended only to frighten and sow panic among the civilian population and once again show that Putin is ready to continue to step over the many corpses of innocent people in order to achieve his crazy goals.
“The most protected” bridge in the world was blown up
On the illegally built Krymsky Bridge, erected by the Russians in the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea, an explosion occurred on the morning of October 8, which disabled the highway and railway lines for an indefinite period.
This was a stunning blow to the ambitions of President Putin to establish control over Ukraine. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense compared the blowing up of the bridge to the sinking of the Russian missile cruiser Moskva in April.
Two infamous symbols of the Russian authorities in the Ukrainian Crimea have disappeared. What's next in line, the message says.
The Crimean bridge belongs to the strategic facilities of the first category – on a par with nuclear power plants or the command post of the Strategic Missile Forces.
Blowing up the Crimean bridge gives a deep awareness that Russia is completely unprepared for any type of hostilities, not only on the territory Ukraine, but also in the territories temporarily controlled by Russia.
Putin's mass terrorist act of aggression
After Putin's symbol of greatness is undermined, in panic and desperation, he decides to use his usual bloody tactic – terrorism.
Important!On October 10, Russia carried out the most massive attack on the territory of Ukraine during a full-scale war. The strikes involved high-precision missiles. Putin launched 84 missiles and 24 drones into Ukraine, 43 of which were shot down by air defenses. At least 23 people were killed, about 100 more were injured, a significant amount of civilian and energy infrastructure in many cities of Ukraine was damaged. air and missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine.
Russia uses high-precision Kh-101, Kh-555 missiles launched from strategic bombers from the Caspian region, as well as Kalibr missiles from the Black Sea, Iskander , S-300 and Tornado.
No work
Such massive chaotic strikes are meaningless from the point of view of strategy. The main target of the strike was the civilian population.
The first strikes began in the morning on the places of concentration of the civilian population, the Russians deliberately chose such a time and targets to inflict the greatest damage. Thus, they seek to sow panic and chaos, they want to destroy the Ukrainian energy system.
The Russians fired missiles at Ukraine costing between $400 and $700 in half a day. All this proves once again that Putin and his maniacal goal to exterminate the people of Ukraine is not a myth, but a reality.
Ukraine needs more weapons from the West
October 10 made it clear that Ukraine needs more help from the West. Ukraine is forced to repel missile attacks, using Soviet-era weapons, which are also scarce.
As Volodymyr Zelensky said in a conversation with Biden, air defense is now priority No. 1.
It is already known that that Ukraine received the first IRIS-T air defense from Germany.
Also, in the near future, there will be deliveries of the NASAMS mobile Norwegian anti-aircraft missile system, the Phalanx anti-aircraft artillery system, and Gray Eagle drones.
It should be mentioned about Russian tactics. They tried to focus the attention of the Ukrainian air defense as much as possible, attacking it simultaneously with missiles and kamikaze drones. Therefore, in order to protect not only Ukraine, but the whole of Europe, it is simply necessary to increase the number of weapons supplied to Ukraine.
