Military Overview: Second Wave Of Russian Strikes Pounded Ukrainian West

Illustrative Image

The ongoing Kiev’s/NATO provocations, including the bloody border assaults, the terrific terrorist attack in Moscow, heavy shelling on civilians in Belgorod and the most massive missile attack on Crimea, may be aimed to force Moscow to launch heavy retaliatory strikes, for example, on the decision-making centers in Kiev. Such heavy Russian strikes would inevitably lead to heavy civilian losses. NATO could use the horrific footage of dead Ukrainians as an excuse to enter the conflict. The only problem for NATO is the fact that Moscow does not target Ukrainian civilians but is only destroying military and energy infrastructure with constant precision strikes. The night of March 24th was not an exception.

At night, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation struck at the facilities of the electric power industry, the gas industry, assembly and testing sites of unmanned boats of Ukraine, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported. All the goals of the attack have been achieved, the operation of the AFU enterprises for the manufacture and repair of weapons has been thwarted, and foreign-made equipment has been destroyed, the Russian military concluded.

According to Ukrainian claims, the Russian military launched 29 X-101/X-555 cruise missiles from 14 Tu-95MS strategic aircraft and 28 Geran-2 kamikaze UAVs. The Ukrainian military lied that the attack was allegedly repelled. According to the official Ukrainian statistics, the Ukrainian air defense allegedly shot down 43 air targets, including 18 cruise missiles and 25 drones.

According to the Ukrainian data, the remaining 11 missiles and 3 UAV struck numerous targets in the western, central and southern regions, including in the city of Lviv, where the governor claimed attack by 20 missiles and 7 drones. In total, a series of explosions thundered in many regions of Ukraine, including in Ternopil, Cherkasy, Odessa, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia, Volyn, Kiev, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Khmelnitsky regions.

Kiev also forget to mention strikes of Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, which were reported by local Ukrainian authorities. Thus, the official Ukrainian statistics can never be trusted. Kiev is forced to declare fake victories, while its military is suffering constant defeats.

 

 

The first successful Russian strikes were reported at night near the city of Voznesensk in the Mykolaiv region. Ukrainian sources  reported that Russian Iskander missiles destroyed a hangar with Storm Shadow missiles and S-200 launchers at Kulbakino airfield in the Mykolaiv region.

Multiple explosions thundered in the city of Krivoy Rog in the Dnepropetrovsk region. Footage of large explosions confirmed that Russian forces also reached their targets in the city of Dneproptrovsk.

At the same time, Russian strikes hit the facilities of the Ismail port in the Odessa region.

Military Overview: Second Wave Of Russian Strikes Pounded Ukrainian West

Subway in Kiev

At about 05:30 in the morning, two groups of missiles entered the Ukrainian airspace from the north, heading for Kiev. Some of them attacked the Ukrainian capital, the other went towards the Vinnytsia region. The mayor of Kiev said that a fire broke out in the Desnyansky district after the wreckage of an intercepted Russian missile fell in the city. The residents of the capital passed the night in the basements and the subway.

During the attack in the capital, Ukrainian monitoring sources confirmed strikes in the Khmelnitsky region. There is the notorious Stakonstantinov airfield located in the region. The airfield was reportedly used for the massive night attack on Crimea. LINK

 

 

The Lviv region came under the most massive strikes. Dozens of explosions were reported by local sources. Most of the explosions thundered in the city Lviv and its outskirts, including in Stryi, Yavorov, Dublyany, Medenichi. According to the mayor of the city of Lviv, the targets were the local energy facilities.

Numerous explosions thundered in the town of Stryi. The town hosts one of the main transshipment bases, through which the NATO military supplies weapons, military equipment and manpower to Ukraine. There is an airfield in the city where the notorious F-16 fighters could be deployed. There was also a training center near the airfield, where there were foreign instructors deployed.

Around noon on March 24, the Lviv came under the second Russian missile attack, this time with hypersonic Kinzhal missiles. The governor of the Lviv region confirmed at least two strikes in the same infrastructure facilities that were hit at night.

One of the missiles hit an oil depot, which was caught by a very large fire. It is also assumed that second wave of strikes struck the airfield.

The second attack also destroyed targets in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. The targets are yet to be revealed.

Ukrainian shelling in Belgorod on March 22:

 

 

The analysis of all massive Russian strikes throughout Ukraine confirms that the Russian military does not target civilians in the crowded Ukrainian cities. Russian drones and missiles are pounding Ukrainian military facilities and energy/industrial infrastructure which assures the operation of the military-industrial complex. Dozens of Russian strikes are launched on a daily basis but they do not bring civilian casualties.

On the other hand, Ukrainian/NATO attacks in Russia are aimed to terrorise the civilian population. The intensified shelling in Belgorod and Donetsk have no military goals and bring no benefits to the Ukrainian military. Even the massive attack of expensive NATO missile in Crimea also targeted civilian buildings in the very center of the city. Kiev/NATO are trying to put maximum political pressure on Moscow, killing as many innocent Russian civilians as possible. The terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall in Moscow was the apogee of NATO terrorism.

Today’s strike are not the Russian revenge. The Ukrainians should get ready to new retaliation strikes to come.

who said it was going to take 3 days, besides nafo trolls? president putin stated it was to de-militarise and de-nazify ukraine. seems they are on track, only they are also de-militarising nato as a bonus.

it is taking longer, as every pos nazi thug working for the zionist lobby are showing up in ukraine with shekles in their pockets. so the smo went from regional to international denazification, including idf trained terrorists.

give all civilians in kiev and lvov exactly 24 hours to leave these cities. then destroy them entirely with mini hypersonic tactical nukes. the usa did the same in hiroshima and nagasaki. the time to defeat the nazis is now. the world is now behind russia.

ok, my mistake, it would be actually ceasefire 287. i can’t count that fast. you know, all these ceasefires in syria, i think in allepo alone it was at least 50 ceasefires. then ceasefires before the 1st minsk agreement, then short russian victory near debaltseve, then 2nd minsk and another agreements.. then russia was already in kiev and retreated 400 km back, all that stuff. i wonder whether more russian soldiers were killed by nato/ua or by putin’s ceasefires.

you mean zelensky ? zelensky is not in charge of anything. to be honest, it would be better for the west propaganda if somebody kills him because it is too obvious that he is only puppet taking orders from cia. if somebody kills him they will portrait him as a hero, martyr and saint. i think much better would be put him in the prison for the rest of his miserable life.

they seem to want russia to be even further enraged and motivated to win the war. they want ukraine to be completely conquered.

of course they do. they wanted it from the beginning. and all of that could be avoided if putin was not so busy pleasing “western partners” by olympic games in sochi and gave an order to curb maidan and protect janukovych. but you know, he had “deals”. this man (putin) allowed cia to take over ukraine and militarize it to the teeth just to improve his position in russia , creating life -threating situation so he could become stalin2. it is as simple as that.

“nato could use the horrific footage of dead ukrainians as excuse to enter the conflict.”it would be the height of hypocrisy. why isn’t nato entering the conflict in gaza after 30,000+ innocent men women children have been killed & are wantonly being starved to death by israel & zionists enslaved u.s.& european politicians. nato sure had no problem entering & breaking up yugoslavia with the pretext of a few kosovan muslims getting killed.

the day nato officially enters the conflict is the day nato will cease to exist. ru’s hypersonic nukes are already locked on them.

Marcelo Rodriguez

yo no entiendo por qué rusia se cuida de atacar los centros de mandos y a los civiles ucranianos por temor a qué esto sea aprovechado como excusa por la otan para intervenir directamente en el conflicto. no es rusia la que debería preocuparse sino que es la otan la que debería temer por un gran enfrentamiento. de lo contrario se estaría mandando un falso mensaje de que rusia tiene temor a enfrentarse con la otan y esto haría demostrar que rusia no es una super potencia militar.

Marcelo Rodriguez

para considerarse una gran superpotencia militar rusia no debería temer por enfrentarse con nadie, ni siquiera con la otan. hay que tener cuidado con los mensajes que se les envían a occidente, quien más debería temer por un gran conflicto y enfrentamiento es la otan. rusia tiene que mostrar que es una verdadera superpotencia y por lo tanto le deben temer y respetar.

Marcelo Rodriguez

acá el que está buscando un enfrentamiento abierto a gran escala es la otan proveyendo a ucrania de financiamiento y armas, también llevando su infraestructura militar cerca de las fronteras rusas. rusia debería llevar su infraestructura militar con bases y misiles de crucero e hipersonicos cerca de las fronteras de ee.uu colocándolas en cuba, nicaragua y venezuela.

they did not use the hypersonic nukes yet loser, cope. and second, there was no energy war against europe. but if we are talking about energy export: ru is exporting to china and india more oil and gas than she can sell. cope again.

not forgetting, the oil is being sold at higher prices. another thing, the belgium diamond market is on the way out, thanks to the eu sanctions on russian diamonds. the global majority are finding it is too much hassle to go through belgium and just use non-eu nations, for their diamond trade.

belgiuns like we danes, no more money for diamunds and stuff like dat. worl 3 jobs just pay rent in smokey city. i move in wif new people frum nigeria so get free rent and maybe some nooky too.

Degeneration Of Russia

china won’t invest money to new siberian gas pipeline, another bad news for gazprom, miller and putin. and price china and india are playing for russian natural is 60% of that russia got from europe. india and china pay also much less of russian oil than europe. so putin is burning lots of money and era of 2022 higher prices. grim reality is touching kremlin leaders.

russia collapsed in 1917 and soviet wonderland (russian empire 2.0) in 1991. russia will likely collapse during next 10 years. world has changed from fossile energy burning breznev kind era to new more clean energy and renewables. modern west (and asia) will not heat buildings using dirty gas, coal and oil but using electricity, heat pumps, geothermal heating, solar, cheap wind power. putin is like a sad neanderthal unable to adopt new environment.

Dave Simmons

natural gas in not even very cost effective way for heating. even as early as in 2013 wind and solar power became more cost effective than natural gas, nuclear, coal and oil. 5 years later costs of producing energy by wind power had gone down 69% while sun power 88%. during same time nuclear power became 25% more expensive. and even with lower prices of gas (-30%)and coal (-9%) couldn’t help them much.

Jonas Strandval

please don’t forget how heating pumps can save energy alot. if heating directly with gas you need let’s say 15 000 kwh but using ground source heat pumps you need just 6000 kwh electricity. heating pumps have 1 to 4 saving ratio during spring and autumn and even in winter 1 to 2.5. in germany you can use solar panels from feb to nov quite effectively producing that heating energy. natural gas has shrinking markets in future.
