Reply to comment by fongky in Ukrainian air defense will become stronger in new year – Zelensky by Espressodimare

So Russia does this huge damage with just 15 missiles?

Almost half of Kyiv had no power. And Russia managed this with just 15 missiles across different cities?

That logic doesn't add up.

Or do you mean out of the 69 missiles Ukraine tried to intercept they managed to take down 54? While the other ones they didn't try to intercept don't count.

What are you talking about, Kyiv didn't have massive blackouts after this latest attack. 40% of households were without electricity during and a short time after the attack as a preventative measure, but Kyiv was back to usual that same day.

Kyiv was attacked repeatedly since October. The damage sustained by the utility infrastructures is accumulative, not because of this single attack. Ukraine has been trying to intercept all the cruise missiles and Kamikaze drones with progressive improvement of their proficiency. This is their best that they have achieved so far

I mean Ukraine pretty much managed to turn around the war with a handful of himars system. They went from losing Sievierodonetsk from overwhelming artillery barrages to destroying all their logistics with Himars and taking back Kherson and Kharkiv. The damage to Ukraine's infrastructure meanwhile is getting repaired pretty quickly, minimizing the effectiveness of missile strikes that are costing them like half a billion each.
