The visualization of this large-scale retaliatory action by Russia, at this scale of air strikes, even Ukraine itself couldn't withstand it, let alone any other European country.
The Russian military used a total of 407 "Skyfall"-2 suicide drones, 38 KH-101 and sea-based "Caliber" cruise missiles, and 6 "Iskander" tactical missiles. It can be seen that cheap "Skyfall"-2 suicide drones have already replaced most of the tasks carried out by expensive KH-101 long-range cruise missiles and "Caliber" cruise missiles. These cheap suicide drones, after improvements by Russia, can carry 90 kilograms of high-explosive warheads, thermobaric warheads, or incendiary warheads. They also use new receiving antennas, greatly improving interference resistance. These suicide drones usually fly at altitudes of 3,000 meters, making them difficult to hit with small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. The Ukrainian army lacks anti-aircraft missiles, resulting in a very low interception rate.
The Russian military can now organize a "Skyfall" suicide drone raid on a scale of five hundred. Ukraine stated that the Russian military could increase the scale to one thousand at once in the future. The current problem is that there are not many high-value targets left for bombing in Ukraine. The assembly of Ukrainian drones is done in particularly decentralized small workshops, and even the parts provided by Western countries are assembled when in use, without centralized storage. Therefore, the damage caused by these bombings is limited. Personally, I think the Russian military should concentrate firepower to destroy all the bridges on the Dnieper River, dividing Ukraine into two parts. However, this is quite difficult because there are 30 bridges on the Dnieper River, and more than ten of them are bridges that use the top of the dam as a highway. Without hundreds of missiles, it's impossible to blow them all up, especially the dams. The warheads carried by "Skyfall" suicide drones cannot do anything against them.
