The war in Ukraine continues, and the confrontation between the two sides is becoming more and more intense. Just last week, the Russian army launched a number of precision missiles to attack an express logistics warehouse in Odessa, which aroused strong concern and condemnation from the international community.
According to an informed source, Russia's use of sophisticated ballistic missile weapons with a stockpile of more than $60 billion may be used in this operation. The airstrike hit a logistics point with precision in the early hours of last Sunday (April 30).
In more than an hour, the Russian army launched a total of 8 missiles in two waves to attack the large logistics base of "Very Good Luck Express" in the center of Odessa.
Despite the fact that Ukrainian air defense systems intercepted several of them, 5 still hit the target. The attacked warehouse area is connected to the dock and is a distribution point for supplies in Odessa, an important town in southern Ukraine.
Analysts say that the Russian army should be targeting Ukrainian arms and ammunition stockpiles that are being transported to the front line. However, it also caused 15 casualties and extensive damage to civilian facilities.
Although Ukraine denies that arms are stored in warehouses, Russia's surprisingly accurate strike power has aroused widespread doubts.
The Russian army not only detected this large, concealed target, but also knew its function and importance well, which was somewhat suspicious. There is an analysis of Western military experts,
This is most likely due to Russia's advanced reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities. In addition to its own satellite surveillance, Russia can also use the eavesdropping systems of countries such as Iran and North Korea to obtain enemy information.
Through the aggregation and fusion of multiple data, it is possible to control the whole picture of activity around Odessa. The 60 billion missile stockpile on standby is the suspected new Russian-made "Iskander" intercontinental missile responsible for this strike.
This model has a range of up to 5500 km, and a single piece is expensive. According to a source, the value of such missiles in the Russian army's inventory is probably as high as more than $60 billion.
This lavish battle and apparent overkill have sparked international criticism of Russia's excessive use of force and lack of restraint. It is clear that the Putin regime's determination for this war has reached the point where it is out of control.
It's just that at present, the Ukrainian army has not been completely disintegrated, and this indiscriminate bombardment by the Russian army obviously cannot completely turn the tide of the war in the short term.
This kind of behavior that violates human nature and puts money first will only bring more pain and harm to people on both sides. We hope that peace and reason will regain control of the situation as soon as possible and put an end to this protracted war of internal attrition.
