Ukraine Unleashes Massive 200-Drone and Missile Strike on Russia’s War Machine

January 2025 is shaping up to be a rough month for Putin.

Cruelty is the Kremlin’s trademark.

One of their most notorious strategies is called “double tapping,” a tactic honed and perfected in Aleppo, Syria. They fire a missile into civilian structures, including hospitals, and as first responders rush in to rescue the injured, they launch a second wave of missiles at the same location — a uniquely sinister strategy born in the Kremlin’s dark laboratory.

Despite having ample opportunity, Ukraine has no intention of stooping to the Kremlin’s level. If they wanted to sow chaos, they could simply target Russia’s electric grid, plunging entire regions into darkness. But after three years of war, Ukraine remains disciplined, focusing instead on dismantling the Kremlin’s war machine — not targeting average Russians.

For more than six months, I’ve waited for Ukraine to deploy large-scale, complex drone and missile attacks on critical Russian military targets. They’ve had this capability since mid-2023 but refrained from using it at scale — until now. This month, Ukraine has begun executing two highly effective strategies designed to cripple Russia’s war infrastructure.
