On the morning of October 25, the Russian military bombardment of the entire territory of Ukraine, a major feature is that the Russian military used a new type of Iskander ballistic missile, allegedly Iskander-1000 ballistic missile, bombed the Ukrainian city of Kiev, of which the explosion and combustion of the Kiev radio power plant, Kiev 6 thermal power plant was the most violent, basically completely destroyed by Russian military missiles.
Don't think that this name is just a roundabout thing. To put it bluntly, it is a "big killer" that can shoot 1000 kilometers away and be accurate to a few meters. Those "Patriot" systems in Ukraine that claim to be able to prevent everything are useless in the face of it.
People of Kiev Energy Company later crying in the face said that the plant is responsible for 20% of the city's electricity supply, and now the core unit is completely out, as if a man cut off a large artery of electricity.
With the thermal power plant exploded into ruins and the Kiev radio plant, which is not an ordinary radio factory, was transformed into a military-industrial accessory processing plant in the war, it is said to be responsible for the production of the navigation module of the drone, now the factory collapsed half, the machine burned only the iron shelf, and in the short term wanted to restore the production doors.
What's even worse is that not only Kyiv suffered from this bombing, but also industrial facilities in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and the Kaniv Hydropower Station were bombed. The Kremenchuk Hydropower Station was targeted by missiles for the third time. The bombing in November 2024 damaged the dam. This time, the power transmission equipment was directly blown up, and the local area has begun to inform residents to reserve drinking water for the winter.
To say the most striking is the U.S. "patriot", before Ukraine blasted, saying that it can stop all Russian missiles, as a result of the former Ukrainian deputy general chief of staff Roman Rok himself exploded, this system now interception rate is only 6%, compared with the previous 42%.
The reason is simple, the Russian military made software upgrades to Iskander, the missile to fly to the final stage can suddenly change trajectory, with mud-like slides can not escape, the patriotic radar can not catch at all.
What's more interesting is that the Russian army's launch point was chosen at the Kapustin Yar test site, more than 600 kilometers away from the actual control line of Ukraine. It was just dangling on the edge of the Patriot's defensive radius and ran away when it hit. The Ukrainian army even had a chance to fight back. None of them.
In fact, this wave of operation has a long time, not Putin's sudden "heartlessness", but the Russian military tactics have already begun to turn.
Before on the Kupijansk front, the Russian troops rely on digging underground pipeline raid, although the Ukrainian defense line in 8 minutes, but this little joke can only chew up a small piece of position, can not solve the fundamental problem.
Ukraine's military production is entirely supported by electricity. Underground factories build cruise missiles and drones, all of which cannot be separated from electricity. Now Kiev's Fifth Thermal Power Plant and Tripilya Thermal Power Plant are all on fire and out of power. The power shortage in the whole city suddenly rushed to 40%, the subway stopped, the trams stopped moving, and even the tap water supply began to be limited for a limited time. People could no longer bear it.
Just look at the bombing in April 2024. The Russian army bombed the Zmiivska Thermal Power Plant in Kharkiv, which directly caused 500,000 local people to spend the winter without heating. Ukraine's winter recruitment rate plummeted by 30% that year. Now this wave of bombings is more ruthless than the last time. It specifically targets energy and military industrial targets. It is calculated that winter is coming soon. As long as the power system is paralyzed, Ukraine will not only be unable to produce weapons, but even the people's will to resist will collapse. After all, no one wants to suffer from the cold in the dark night of dozens of degrees below zero. One more day of this kind of life, more people will want to end the war.
The Russian military this time counted the "real guy" to the bottom, missiles such as Iskander-1000, previously hidden, now not only used to blow down power plants, even the transformation station around the traffic hub has not been released.
This is no longer a tactical test on the front line, but a direct attack on Ukraine's war potential. Without electricity, the military industry is scrap metal; Without energy, people can't survive; Without production capacity, Western aid alone can't sustain it.
No matter how advanced Western weapons are, they cannot generate generators for every household in Ukraine, let alone conjure the core components of the power system out of thin air.
Putin's game of chess is actually very clear, has played such a long shave war, rather than slowly consumed in the battlefield, rather than directly cut off each other's foundation.Kiev's two burned half a day of fire, burning not only the power plant equipment, but also Ukraine's supported bottom.
This has never been a choice of kindness or not, but the most pragmatic way to fight at this stage of the war. It uses the most direct method to break the other party's chain of survival and force the situation to become clear as soon as possible.
After all, at the end of the war, it is never about whose slogan is shouted loudly, but about who can destroy the opponent's foundation first. The current posture of the Russian army is that it doesn't want to slowly grind with Ukraine anymore, and it has to rely on hard power. Bring an end to this war as soon as possible.
This idea of hitting the key point, in the final analysis, debunks the illusion of "frontline stalemate" and really hits the most painful part of Ukraine. It also allows the donors behind it to see clearly that even if they fill in money and weapons, they may not be able to fill in energy and energy. A big pit for people's livelihood.
