Recently, the Russian army once again demonstrated its military prowess, carrying out a precision strike on an important TV tower in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.
According to a report by the Russian Satellite Agency on April 22, the 240-meter-high TV tower fell in response to the Russian army's missile attack, and one-third of the TV tower collapsed instantly, and the scene was quite spectacular.
I have to say that this action of the Russian army is really like a "heavy punch", hitting the "heart" of Ukraine.
As an important communication hub, the TV tower not only bears the heavy responsibility of TV signal transmission, but also has an air defense communication antenna.
Today, the collapse of this TV tower has undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Ukraine's air defenses.
According to sources, at present the Kharkov air defense system is paralyzed, the individual systems have lost contact with each other and can only operate at the shortest possible range of action.
This situation is undoubtedly worse for Ukraine, whose military defense capability has been seriously affected.
In the face of the fierce offensive of the Russian army, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was obviously a little caught off guard.
"Russia's obvious intention is to make the city unlivable," he said on social media. ”
However, whether Russia's actions are really so extreme is unknown.
But at least what is certain is that this attack has brought enormous pressure and challenges to Ukraine.
It is worth mentioning that a few minutes after the bombing of the TV tower, Zelensky quickly spoke on the phone with US President Joe Biden.
Biden promised that long-delayed US military aid would be delivered to Ukraine "quickly".
This move undoubtedly gives Ukraine a glimmer of hope, but it also reflects Ukraine's military woes and dependence on foreign aid.
In addition, Zelensky also made a big announcement: Ukraine and the United States have begun work on a bilateral security agreement.
This could be a "truly demonstrative" agreement aimed at further strengthening military cooperation between Ukraine and the United States.
However, it remains to be seen whether this agreement can actually be implemented and effective.
