Ukraine subjected to massive rocket attack: explosions and power supply problems across the country

Air raids throughout Ukraine, explosions in Kyiv and massive power outages in a number of regions of the country - this is how the morning of January 26 began. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out another massive attack on the energy and military infrastructure of Ukraine.

As follows from the reports of various Ukrainian media and officials, this time almost all types of weapons were used - this is a strategic aviation, and unmanned aerial vehicles, and Kalibr missiles from sea-based carriers.

Interestingly, Ukrainian sources write about Tu-22M3 strategic bombers seen over the Kursk region. Previously, they struck from the area of ​​the Caspian Sea. In addition, representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported about ships with Caliber missiles in the Black Sea. According to the Ukrainian media, a Russian A-50 airborne early warning and control aircraft used to guide strategic aviation took off in Belarus.

The Kiev regime claims that most of the missiles were shot down. But this is a common practice for the Ukrainian authorities: allegedly, the air defense forces shoot down “all” missiles and Drones. True, for some reason, then from the field they report about explosions at industrial facilities, about massive power outages.

So, in many cities of Ukraine, electric transport was completely stopped today. In Kyiv, for example, ground-based metro stations were closed, due to which queues of citizens accumulated at stops trying to get into the city “subway”. Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko announced an explosion in the Dnipro district of the Ukrainian capital. Energy infrastructure facilities were damaged in Odessa. The governor of the Odessa region, Maxim Marchenko, announced significant problems with the energy supply after the strikes.

The Ukrzaliznytsia company (an analogue of Russian Railways) announced the termination of power supply to a number of railway lines. Because of this, trains are delayed. While it is known about the delay of trains Ivano-Frankivsk - Kyiv and Kyiv - Lviv.

The representative of the Ukrainian Air Force, Yuriy Ignat, said that about 30 missiles were fired in total. At the same time, he stressed that repeated launches can be expected. Probably, the massive strikes were Russia's response to the activation of the Kyiv regime in terms of obtaining Western weapons and statements about impending counter-offensives. As you can see, Russia does not run out of missiles, and it is clear that these are not the most powerful and massive strikes that could be.

Railway junctions Minsk, Baranovichi, Molodechno, Osipovichi, Orsha , Luninets, Polotsk, stations Tolochin, Borisov, Obol, Pogoreltsy, Lakhva, Malkovichi and others. The strikes, as a rule, were carried out massively, and depending on the workload of the nodes by echelons, the number of aircraft in each of them reached two hundred or more. In total, more than 3000 sorties were made on the railways by DD Aviation ..
if everyone were shot down - who would make so many sorties?

The railway junctions Minsk, Baranovichi, Molodechno, Osipovichi, Orsha, Luninets, Polotsk, the stations Tolochin, Borisov, Obol, Pogoreltsy, Lakhva, Malkovichi and others were subjected to air strikes.

And how did this affect the movement of German trains? Exploded 20 100kg bombs. One of them touched the canvas. For an hour of work of 3 diggers, 1 bulldozer operator, electric welder, a funnel was filled up, a rail of the required size was cut out, dragged to the place of damage, installed and the train passed along the damaged track. 5000 rubles for the cost of a rail, 20 rubles for renting a bulldozer, and 000 salaries for half a shift of all workers. Shipping by air is worth the money. And the power plant was put out of action for a day and 10 million people of Kiev turned into dependents for 000 days. You cannot restore a transformer and control cables in a day.

Quote: Smoker

8000 sorties were carried out and only by long-range aviation forces,

The ADD also had U-2s. They were produced in the war 23, 000 were produced by Il-36, about 000 other bombers, and before the war they had about 2 bombers. And under Lend-Lease, about 20% of this number was set. That is, on the day of the Red Army, they lost about 000 bombers. Russia will not tolerate such costly methods of war with attacks on depots and railway tracks. On the other hand, only the partisan detachment of K. Zaslonov destroyed about 10 steam locomotives, which is apparently commensurate with the results of the ADD strikes on the railway during the Belarusian offensive operation.

[VB]

Yes, what are you? These are the "dear partners" of Putin and Lavrov, Shoigu and Gerasimov! No way! The war is not on the outskirts, the war is going on in Russia, for Donbass, Kherson, Zaporozhye, not to mention Bryansk, Kursk, Oryol, Belgorod, Engels. So what? The military oath and military doctrine do not exist for these figures. For a year now, they have not been able to stop shelling the Donbass and move the enemy away from it. Therefore, the West will supply more long-range weapons, and aircraft will also be supplied. It will come and the troops will begin to come. They wiped their feet about Putin long ago, State impotence or betrayal at all levels.

Artillery and aviation cannot push back the front line on their own, but the decision on ground operations is made by the local command. No one is going to fill up ukrov with corpses "and that's right" (M.S. Gorbachev).

this is too complicated a scheme for Kremlin strategists, and you can’t do this with partners either, gas and oil must be sold to them somehow

[FPEDDI_KPYGEP]

I think the reason here is in the military doctrine of Russia and not in strategy. Russia bombs with rockets and not bombs, a rocket is much more complicated and more expensive to manufacture than a bomb, a bomb is just 500 kg of explosives in a metal sheath and with pieces of stabilizers around the edges. and a rocket is the same 500 kg of explosives, but it is complex electronics, circuits, complex wing-turn signals + fuel that can become damp and must be refilled.
Another rocket can be shot down on approach, unlike a bomb

[AAK]

Now it is also necessary to intensify work on the most complete destruction of the Ukrop air defense, since the use of medium and large-caliber bombs against various objects, especially ODAB, is much more effective and cheaper than missile weapons ...

[single-n]

Attacks have been inflicted since October. for almost 4 months now. So far, everything that is needed works for them. So they wrap up. And that's why we are slowing down, I xs. About disabling 40% wrote back in December. It's been almost 2 months. Well? Or is it impossible to leave gas and oil supplies without electricity?

[zloybond]

It's just that the fight against transformers is not adequate for the cost of missiles. Well, if you hit, then in the engine rooms of power plants, destroy the turbines of generators. Destroy railway tunnels, destroy bridges, everything that is repaired for a long time, not quickly. All the same, the sharovarniks will not leave a stone on a stone from this later. And we, with our humanism, only complicate our task.

[Consultant]

It depends on what transformer substations. For example, from 250 kV to 1150 kV, it is probably not so fast and cheap to repair. And as for the engine rooms of power plants and generator turbines, as well as bridges and tunnels, I do not argue.

[Peter1First]

There is very little specific information in the article about today's strike - basically an overview of "where it came from" and "what officials in Ukraine said" - but people want specifics: how many missiles and drones and what objects they flew in!

[ABC-schutze]

"As you can see, Russia does not run out of missiles, and it is clear that these are not the most powerful and massive strikes that could be."
************************************************** ****************************************
If, when planning such extremely commendable and appropriate actions, the "headquarters" at least once (on a conceptual level) consult with the power engineers "cutting through the clearing", then the Kyiv Nazis "do not recover" at all ...

After all, what is the "trick"? ..

It is possible to inflict "beautiful" and massive strikes on identified production facilities, generating capacities and distribution substations ... Causing "massive", but, in general, removable damage ...

I believe that when delivering such massive strikes, an outfit of dedicated strike assets is required, conditionally divided into "three parts". One strikes at the generating capacities in one "energy circuit" operating for a certain range of consumer objects of all types (from industrial, administrative, military and to the so-called "civilian"), and at the distribution stations of this circuit.

The second part, "beats" the distribution stations of the power circuit, the circuit that "reserves" the affected, thus depriving the "disconnected" consumers of the first (affected) circuit of the possibility of "automatic" connection to the capacities of the reserve circuit and continuing to provide them (albeit in a limited volume) electricity...

The third part "beats" the objects of the energy system that provide it with the so-called. "balancing". Those. These are, as a rule, some generating capacities (next to which there are reservoirs). Their task, in the event of an "overload" of the power system (including an emergency one ...), in the corresponding circuit, is to "take over" part of its excess capacity ("water intake", through the opening of the locks). In the event of a shortage of capacity in any of the circuits, on the contrary, it "drains water", providing additional generation and supply of electricity to the "circuit with a deficit" of energy supply...

Well, and, of course, it would be nice, with the "remainder" of strength, to pound on the control centers that control and coordinate the operation of the entire system online ... And deprive them of the opportunity to even "manually control" the system from control centers, when "knocking out" systems and automatic switching devices...

In other words, a systematic approach is needed. Then, for sure, after three = four such blows, they definitely don’t recover ...

And since the entire energy infrastructure of the Kyiv Natsiks is still "Soviet", i.e. the functions (including "reserve") of its facilities and their location are well known to Russian power engineers, they will definitely be able to tell the Russian "headquarters" how to best plan such a strike, taking into account the above ...

[Vladimir80]

headquarters "at least once, (at a conceptual level) will consult with power engineers

this is because you look at your own in a philistine way, in which you need to win and achieve the voiced goals ...
however, this is ours "for us", but there is another one, which the Americans most likely came up with and according to the scenario of which the "towers" operate - we are depleting reserves, weakening our defenses and reducing our population

[Grits]

Quote: ABC-schütze

It is possible to inflict "beautiful" and massive strikes on identified production facilities, generating capacities and distribution substations ... Causing "massive", but, in general, removable damage ...

You have described everything very well. But for this purpose, it is necessary to include specialists - power engineers in the composition of the planning headquarters for delivering strikes. And those who are well acquainted with the energy system of Ukraine. And so that they don’t hit where the military pointed their finger, and specialists pointed there with their finger. If they listen to their recommendations, then it will be good. And the sense is expressed in the complete collapse of the country's energy, and not in stopping the subway for a couple of hours.

[paul3390]

was it not the liberation of the Ukrainian / Russian people from the oppression of fascist puppets

No. The goal was to ensure the security of Russia from the south. As for the type of suffering people - well, the fascist puppets did not fly to them from Mars, they are their own, home-grown. Those who came to power, if not with full approval, then certainly with the tacit connivance of this very people ..

[yuriy1863]

I think that the liberation of the Ukrainian / Russian people from the oppression of fascist puppets should be carried out by neutralizing / eliminating these puppets. Only military facilities should be subjected to intensive fire impact. And it turns out that the supply of military equipment, equipment and ammunition freely goes from the western border through the entire territory of Ukraine to the LBS, and this is almost 1400 km. This is where all means of destruction must work intensively. But, for some reason, they level the socially significant infrastructure. So what? Did the traffic stop after that? Stopped running trains and flying planes? No. The West both confidently supplied and continues to supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On the other hand, the civilian population that we are liberating is sitting in the cold, without electricity and, sometimes, without water and gas. Whom will the ordinary Ukrainian layman blame for this? Zelensky, local politicians, nationalists, the Armed Forces of Ukraine? Of course not. Russia will be to blame. And the hatred towards us will only grow, uniting in Ukraine those who previously did not fit each other for a kilometer. It is hard to imagine what will happen in the liberated territories later, after the war. How many people will live there who sincerely hate the liberators. We need to think about this already now. Although it was necessary to strain the brains even before 24.02.2022/XNUMX/XNUMX.

When the electricity is turned off, hundreds of thousands of people will take to the streets to say warm words to Zeleboba. We have already observed this once in Odessa. And when hundreds of thousands come out, even the Azov people try not to interfere.
And all these substations and bridges are being restored after the end of the SVO in a matter of months. Electricity is also available from where to supply it for the time of repair - for example, deliveries go to the Chinese at a big discount.

They won't come out. You don't have to be so naive. We have already begun the NWO with a "ceremonial" march on Kyiv. Not knowing the situation and moods in Ukraine. Unfortunately, I know, because I come from Dnepropetrovsk, where my Mom lives, relatives, friends, classmates, acquaintances. And there were enough contacts throughout Ukraine. Now there are fewer of them and it is clear why.
And I repeat once again: no one will go out into the street. The position of the layman always prevails in human society. And the layman thinks primitively: the Russian rocket means they are to blame. Buzz, and then a little and few, maybe, about the total mobilization. That's the whole truth mother.
And Zelya, most likely, will be exchanged by the local "elite", with the "good" of overseas benefactors, of course.

Power plants are put out of action, first of all, to complicate the functioning of defense industries and overstrain the economy of the Nazi regime.
We don’t expect sympathy from Bandera’s supporters, they expressed baseless aggression against Russia even when there was nothing formally to cling to, including the notorious cries on the Maidan in 2013.
Those who are not supporters of radical nationalism, Nazism and other deviations should understand that it is war declared against Russia from that side, and not the NVO like ours, and the most aggressive attack is underway against us, including against peaceful civilians . The country is forced to defend itself and force opponents to peace. In addition, no one specifically shoots at public places and residential buildings of unarmed inhabitants of Ukraine from our side.

[paul3390]

So what?

And the fact that the energy supply of the country, and not only it, works as a single system. In which, under the blows, failure points accumulate that do not have time or cannot be repaired. A dozen - the system will digest due to reservation, maybe a hundred, but conditionally a thousand - no longer exists. And as a result, everything will collapse at once. Apparently, this is what they are trying to achieve. The truth is somehow sluggish and without enthusiasm, alas ..

Polish Czech sources happily write that Kyiv has adapted to this type of raids. Today's raid brought minimal damage since the beginning of the NWO. Due to the strengthening of air defense, almost all of the Geraniums at night were shot down, and missiles were also heavily fired. Assistance was provided by NATO with target designation. They were waiting for shelling, so additional Avaks (3 aircraft) were transferred to Romania. So a few more months and the air defense of the country will be practically impenetrable. Taking into account the addition of systems from NATO. The Russian military needs to come up with new tactics to successfully hit targets. Will it work, another question!

"As a result of a rocket hitting non-residential buildings in the Goloseevsky district, there is now information about one dead and two wounded. The injured were hospitalized by doctors," Klitschko wrote.

On the morning of January 26, the enemy launched more than 15 cruise missiles in the direction of Kyiv. This was announced on Telegram by the head of the Kyiv city military administration, Sergei Popko.
"Thanks to the excellent work of air defense, all air targets were shot down!" he said.

There is a third option - all Russian missiles were shot down, but the air defense missiles decided to return ...

"The Kyiv regime claims that most of the missiles were shot down. But this is a common practice for the Ukrainian authorities." I remember in Syria the Americans launched almost 7 dozen cruise missiles, and there were also reports that almost all of them were shot down, and those that were not shot down flew to the wrong place. So this is apparently a common practice of the conflicting parties, some always say that everything has arrived where it is needed, others claim that not everything has arrived and not in the right place.

To understand the logic of these blows. They have been hit since October, and Ukraine every time copes with these injuries in a week on average after arrivals. There are no complete shutdowns, the metro in large cities has worked and is still working. Trains are running. Mass eviction from the cities is not observed.

[Vladimir80]

and you think for yourself: last summer they “grinded the enemy with artillery”, in the fall they “destroyed military factories”, General K. “destroys hundreds and thousands of militants” ... but this is all just “news background so that the layman does not panic, calms down, takes loans and did not run headlong into the upper lars"... and the reality is completely different, but we are not supposed to know about it!

All from the fact that our military at headquarters are not friends with logic. Now, if, for example, these blows were not smeared all over the country, like butter on a sandwich, but put in pieces, it would be good.
Suppose all 100 missiles were sent to one particular city - they demolished to zero all thermal power plants, all substations, all control rooms and all other energy structures, then the city would definitely freeze until spring. Since there would be simply nothing to repair or switch to another, non-existing line. Thus, in a month, you can completely disable a couple of cities with all the ensuing delights.

Such strikes make sense not only to disrupt cargo transportation and disrupt the work of industry, it is not particularly difficult to compensate for them with reserves and Western assistance, and most importantly, to deprive the population of electricity, sewerage, communications and plunge this territory into the Stone Age. Then most of the population will be forced to flee, preferably to Europe and become a burden there, and the Banderia will have a reduced mobilization potential and fewer workers for the defense industry. In the liberated territories, Russia will have to feed the people less and act more boldly on the depopulated land.

[Krilion]

well, at least one rocket against Zelensky... what the hell is he untouchable???.. and in general.. if they methodically hit power plants, then Ukraine would have been without electricity for a long time and probably already capitulated.. it looks like the Russian command itself is not knows what he wants .. the effect of the blows tends to zero ..

[Ezekiel 25-17]

It's time to destroy their nuclear power plant And the dams on the Dnieper.

[Osipov9391]

Are you seriously ? Or are you looking for an excuse to bring alliance forces into the outskirts?
Then there was already an official reason for the sanction of the UN and the IAEA.
I have already written why.

[Ezekiel 25-17]

No one will introduce anyone anywhere: elementary fear will interfere: "... We are next ..."

[Osipov9391]

Do you yourself believe in this? Already a year soon. Everyone who needs to draw conclusions.

[Ezekiel 25-17]

The UN cannot announce sanctions to the Russian Federation. She is a permanent member of the Security Council. The IAEA is generally baked on the side. You just need to destroy all the power plants and dams along the Dnieper, as well as nuclear power plants (disable substations, not power units).

[Osipov9391]

If there is a threat of nuclear accidents due to a blackout of power units, then everything will be agreed through the UN and the IAEA very quickly - and let's go, NATO forces enter the Khmelnitsky or Rovno nuclear power plant.
Diesel engines are deployed, power supply is returned to the blocks.
And the whole world is watching what good guys they are.

[Consultant]

And so they, therefore, are guaranteed not to enter? Will you personally interfere with them?

[Osipov9391]

So far, there is no reason for this. They distanced themselves from such conversations altogether.
But if only there is a risk of a nuclear accident, a reason will immediately be found.
Official. The same Poland will demand.

[oleg-nekrasov-19]

I think that in order for the enemy not to restore the power supply system each time and such measures to bring a real effect, fire damage should be carried out systematically and without long breaks. This is my personal opinion.

[Osipov9391]

These strikes practically do not affect the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Why
Yes, because the rear for them is the European Union and the United States.
It is from there that everything you need comes from fuel to weapons.
It is there that training of personnel is carried out.
It is from there that intelligence and consultations are drained.
It is from there that the financing of the Ukrainian troops comes.

This is for one flight. Does Russia have only 200 bombers? What are the massive bombardments here?

[2 Level Advisor]

asked what happened to the bridges in Yugoslavia in 1999: Bridges (6 - destroyed, 8 damaged).
that is, they can be destroyed, if desired .. how did they do it? example.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighborhood Policy Johannes Hahn attended the opening ceremony of the Brotherhood and Unity Bridge.
According to TASS, it was restored 19 years later - in 1999, the bridge over the Danube was bombed by NATO planes. Since then, Zhezhelev Bridge (named after the creator Branko Zhezhel) has become a symbol of Western aggression.
On April 23, 1999, the design was applied 12 airstrikes.
those. 12 air strikes, can destroy a powerful bridge. The same Antonovsky in Kherson - they brought into disrepair a couple of dozen Haymars, whose warheads are many times weaker than Caliber in terms of destructiveness ...
In total, roughly speaking, even if there is no possibility of an air raid, it takes no more than 20-30 Calibers to destroy (bring into complete disrepair) a powerful bridge (if their accuracy is comparable - even with 99g air missiles from the Yankees, but I think it is higher) .. is it really better beat transformers?
there are a lot of minus this comment, I have no doubt, but I gave the facts .. it would also be nice to give the opponents the facts .. although it’s certainly easier to put a minus ..

[GRIGORIY76]

You answered your own question, NATO in 99 had a resource for destroying bridges (air supremacy). We don’t have such a resource, which means there are few missiles or their accuracy is such that the use is not effective, well, there is no air supremacy and apparently will not be.

[Horon]

It would also be nice to give opponents the facts ..

Yugoslavia is much smaller than Ukraine. 8 bridges is much less than fifty dollars. Taking into account misses and losses from air defense, we will have to spend a lot more missiles on their destruction than we have already spent on the entire operation. After each hit, it will take some time to refine the results. We will not be able to provide a massive launch of 500 missiles at a time for a guaranteed result due to a lack of carriers. Enough arguments?

although the minus is certainly easier to put ..

I didn’t put a minus, because I adhere to the same opinion - harder work on infrastructure, but ...

[2 Level Advisor]

thanks for the objective answers .. I agree in many respects .. it’s just that NATO really had more opportunities .. again, we’re talking about air supremacy .. however, this has been important since WW2 ..

[Vladimir80]

I support, but there are a lot of "Ukrainian" users on the site, these bridges will be useful for them to travel to relatives and to Europe to "panovat" ...

[Gxash]

For a long time it was necessary to smash all the entry points to the country 404 ... Bridges, railway stations and large railway junctions, airports and airfields.

[flicker]

Probably, massive strikes were Russia's response to the activation of the Kyiv regime in terms of obtaining Western weapons and statements about impending counteroffensives.

We must somehow respond to the supply of weapons to Ukraine by the West.
The West is gradually increasing the supply of weapons to Ukraine - in response, we are gradually depriving Ukraine of electricity, and through this, the ability to resist.

Why smoothly?

MOSCOW, January 26 - RIA Novosti. The West is deliberately increasing military supplies to Kyiv gradually, so as not to provoke a "big" response from the Russian Federation, the Politico newspaper writes.
According to the publication, citing a high-ranking diplomat from one of the European countries, after the outbreak of the crisis in Ukraine in early 2022, the Western allies agreed on an "unwritten policy" not to immediately provide Ukraine with a full package of weapons due to fears of "causing a powerful reaction from the Russian Federation."
The idea was that the West should provide support gradually, assessing the reaction of Russia at every step, writes Politico.
"Many countries in the West believe that if we supplied Ukraine with all the equipment that they asked for from us at the first stage of the war, then a strong reaction from the Russian Federation would follow, including nuclear," the diplomat said, calling this approach "a process addictive"
The strategy has been a slow but steadily rising trend of Western support, which has recently extended to tanks and Patriot SAMs. Thus, the delivery of aircraft is "only a matter of time," said the diplomat, whose words are quoted by the publication.

[S. Viktorovich]

All Soviet transformers whose coordinates were known must have been smashed. There is no result, because energy is provided by nuclear untouchable power plants. Yes, and the matter of survival of the "square" is not in electricity. Calmly survive on dung, as usual.

[Grits]

Quote: S. Viktorovich

There is no result, because energy is provided by nuclear untouchable power plants.

The nuclear power plants themselves, if inviolable, then the 750 MW substations that distribute electricity from them, can very well be "touchable"

[Fisher]

It's all great. Confuses the effectiveness of strikes. In Ukraine, as everything works, it continues to work. Trains from Kharkiv to Lviv run. Maybe we’re shooting in the wrong direction, hitting the wrong targets? I would hit power plants and junction stations, but I did not graduate from the academies of the general staff.

[Carlos Hall]

Keep hitting Ukraine's power grid so they can't restore it. The destruction of its power grid is a mortal wound for the Zelensky regime

[Vadim Sharygin]

The bridges are intact, the Bank is in order, the supply of equipment and reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not stop, the fortified areas are not touched, everything is as before, NATO tanks, apparently, will successfully reach the front ...

[BorzRio]

Again, "responsibility" for something ... Is it just not destiny to strike in order to bring victory closer and the end of the war !?

[Sergei N 58912062]

For how many months we would have been bombing, but we can’t knock out the energy infrastructure of Ukraine in any way. Because it is necessary to strike not at transformer substations, but at the machine rooms of power plants. Already a long time ago it was necessary to knock out the entire energy infrastructure of Ukraine.

[Wayfarer_2]

Train delays are not at all the result we all expect from missile strikes. This Ukrzaliznytsia must be completely stopped for the entire period of hostilities. And if trains from Ivano-Frankivsk to Kyiv run there even now, then it is not clear where we are shooting there. Or is it important for us to stop the subway? What the hell is it for? The railroad should be stopped, not the subway. The Kharkov Armored Plant, Motor Sich and similar plants must also be destroyed. Airfields are still in operation, since their planes fly. This is categorically unacceptable.
