In the next few days, Russia's retaliation against Ukraine may be far more intense than any action in the past three years. Western countries have issued clear warnings on this.
When Ukraine announced its successful destruction of the Russian military's "41 large aircraft", countries including the United States took a breath. These billion-dollar aerial beasts, including the core strike forces of the Russian Aerospace Forces such as the Tu-95MS "bear" and the Tu-22M3 "counterfire", turned into coke iron during the drone swarm.
This final battle, code-named "Spider Web", took 18 months to plan. The Ukrainian National Security Bureau disguised suicide drones as truck parts for cross-border transportation, and finally remotely activated through the Starlink system, causing the Russian strategic airport 6,000 kilometers away to fall into flames in an instant.
Uzbek's war report claimed that it had hit 30% of Russia's strategic bombing power. According to satellite images, at least 10 bombers in Russia were destroyed and Russia's Trinity nuclear power was severely hit, which is a very dangerous signal.
Now, Putin has prepared this grudge. According to Observer Network, the Russian army has crossed the border of Dnepropetrovsk Oblast. This is the first time that the Russian army has invaded Ukraine's industrial lifeline area in more than three years, and Russia's real storm of revenge has just begun.
The Russian Ministry of Defense pointed out that the Russian army has broken through the western border of Donetsk and is advancing in depth towards the Dnepropetrovsk Oblast. The industrial heartland with a population of 3 million and 15% of Ukraine's GDP was exposed to Russian artillery fire for the first time.
You should know that Dnepropetrovsk is located on a plain, and the Ukrainian army lacks natural fortifications. The Russian army can even advance to the Dnepro River at high speed, greatly expanding in the occupied areas of Ukraine. If the Russian army cut off the Dnieper transportation line, it will greatly paralyze Ukraine's weapons transportation channels.
Almost at the same time, the US intelligence agency warned allies that Russia's comprehensive retaliation against "Spider Web Operation" has entered the final countdown, with the target directly pointing to the power center and intelligence network of Kiev, and the scale of the attack will be "far beyond the imagination of the Ukrainian army."
A senior Western diplomat warned, "This will be a huge, cruel and ruthless blow!" According to speculation, the Russian army is planning a "multi-dimensional compound strike operation."
First of all, Russia may use weapons such as the "Iskander-M" missile to lock in the headquarters and local branches of the Ukrainian National Security Agency. The Russian army's many actions in the past have proved that Ukraine cannot prevent the "Iskander-M" missile at all, and it is too late to even make early warnings. Often, most of the people in the entire building are injured and killed;
Secondly, Russia may saturate the Ukrainian industrial facilities in Kharkov, Dnipro and other places, paralyzing Ukrainian military industry's hematopoietic capacity;
Finally, Russia may attack Ukrainian administrative facilities and convey the Russian characterization that "Kiev regime is equal to terrorist organizations."
Ukraine has begun to feel the pressure on the signs of revenge shown by Russia. Ukraine discovered that on the northern line, Russian troops were establishing buffer zones in Sumei and Kharkov prefectures to eliminate Ukrainian cross-border attacks on Russia;
On the southern line, Russia is seizing Dnepropetrovsk, trying to connect the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea controlled area into a whole. Russia's ultimate goal may be to completely cut off Ukraine's ties with the Black Sea and make it a "landlocked country." Putin's revenge is highly likely not to be the end, but to be the "starting of a new normal" in the Ukrainian battlefield.
