Accumulating thick and thin, the Russian army has started a new round of bombardment of Ukraine!Air raid sirens have been sounded almost all over Ukraine. 
On December 29, about 18 Tu-95 and Tu-22 bombers of the Russian army rose into the air intensively, and dispatched 36 unmanned aerial vehicles, 50 cluster strikes and one large-scale strike, and launched **122 long-range missiles on Ukraine. Including the Kh-101 Kh55 long-range cruise missile, the Kh-22 supersonic missile, the S-300 ballistic missile, as well as the "extremely difficult to intercept X-22 (Kh-22) missile", as well as a large number of "Geranium-2" UAVs. In addition, the Ukrainian army found that a batch of MiG-31 fighters of the Russian army had also risen into the air and launched "Dagger" missiles at Ukraine. It happened in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, as well as in almost all regions of Odessa and Khmelnytskyi regions**. 
The air raid consisted of multiple waves, and the Ukrainian army detected 158 long-range missiles and drones of various types in the first waveAccording to the Ukrainian side: "Never before have so many targets been seen at the same time on radar monitors." This is the "largest air strike" launched against Ukraine since Russia began its "special military operation" in February 2022. 
The war report released by the Ukrainian side claimed that it carried out a successful interception and shot down 87 cruise missiles and 27 suicide drones. I just can't believe it;At least the Ministry of Health of Ukraine said:
As a result of the attack, nine people were injured and one was killed in the Kharkiv region. The maternity hospital in the Dnipro region was damaged;7 people were injured and 1 died in the Odessa region;Ten people were injured in the Zaporozhye region, two are in serious condition. Kyiv region, at least 14 people were injured;In the Lviv region, 1 person was killed and 8 were injured.But the Ministry of Health's report also apparently condenses the data.
Although the scale of the Russian army's air strikes is large, it is still very different compared to Israel;Instead of throwing bombs as hard as possible, and avoiding hitting civilians as much as possible, it is the target of striking the Ukrainian army and important facilities. 
Why did Russia suddenly launch such a massive bombing?The direct cause is, first, the large landing ship of the Russian Navy "Novocherkassk" in the Black Sea was blown up;The second is the delivery of the first batch of F16 fighters for NATO's aid to Ukraine;The Russian army has always been particular about retaliating with a large-scale retaliatory air strike. 
But obviously it can't be that simple. In fact, the further the war goes, the Russian war potential gradually emerges, and the accumulated forces can be launched on a large scale. And this **scale bombing is to prepare for a new ** war;For example, with so much ammunition, it is obvious that it has been prepared for a long time, and the Russian army may have begun to stock ammunition for this attack a few months ago. Therefore, Russia's military production and resistance to pressure far exceed Western expectations, and the sanctions have basically failed;The Russian army has quite sufficient stamina to continue fighting. 
Look at the Ukrainian forces, which are now incapable of sustaining the war. The Ukrainian army not only vomited all the pitiful gains made in the "June Big **", but was also forced to continue to move to the "strategic defense". In recent days, the Ukrainian army has retreated westward at a rate of 500-700 meters per day. And the Russian army began a large-scale counterattack in late autumn, and the more it fought, the smoother it became, and a larger offensive would be launched next;In fact, it is also the historical tradition of the Russian army to conduct a major battle with the help of winter.
