πŸš€ Routes of Russian missiles during this morning’s massive attack on #Ukraine

☝️ Russia plots increasingly complicated routes to make it harder for air defense to shoot down the missiles.

πŸ‘€ Note the focus on western routes!

As Russia is trying to draw out the maximum range of air defenses,
By first demonstrating an approach, then turning in a loop.

πŸ’‘ Trying to plot the max range, 
By circling around (protected) civilian areas, 
To figure out where air defenses are lacking.

πŸ’₯ Massive Russian missile attack on Ukraine this morning. 
Explosions were seen in many Ukrainian cities. 
Hits on civilian infrastructure and homes,

As Russia prefers to 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐒𝐳𝐞 civilians 
Over hitting #Military targets.

πŸ˜• So not only are the invaders attacking civilians,
But also trying to draw out or entice Ukraine to waste SAMs.

It shows air defenses still have gaps.

Ukraine needs more anti air weapons.

Anti air saves lives!

Ukraine needs Taurus and similar to destroy missiles before take off. Typical Olaf-logic to minimize the pain instead curing the cancer! Waste of money, waste of lifes.

Reply from Marijn Markus:

Yes. The more Ukraine can strike Russian airfields and strategic bomber planes (which launch cruise missiles) deep inside Russia,

The less missiles will hit Ukraine,
The less civilians, women and children will die.

There’s method to the madness, it forces Ukraine to retreat air defenses from the front line in Donbas to the major cities, and thus open the skies more to the VKS.
