Most of the attack drones were aimed at the front-line territory, that is, the defense line and front-line territories of the Mykolayiv and Kherson regions.

winter will mostly be a war of drones vs drones
however, I don't understand the Ukraine math at the beginning of the perspective - my calculations are that the intercept rate is more like 65% than the 80% that Ukraine claims (although if they
count the crashes as shoot downs that may account of the difference)

winter will mostly be a war of drones vs drones
And the weather forecast calls for lots of winter.
I know the news cycle must be fed and the talking heads need something to talk about, but IMAO, way too much is made of the intercept rate. The important metric is how many get through.
Example: Bad Guy launches two, you shoot down one. 50% intercept rate. Not bad. But the one that gets thru blows everything to hell and gone.
For round two, Bad Guy launches 100. You shoot down 99. Woo woo, that's 99 percent! But the one that gets thru blows everything to hell and gone. Nice intercept percentage, though.

[REGNUM] On December 30, the Kiev regime launched a large-scale missile attack on the center of Belgorod. He went specifically to where crowds of city residents were shopping before the New Year and just walking. As a result, as of the morning of December 31, 24 people were killed and about a hundred more were injured. Among them there are also heavy ones, so it is possible that the number of victims will increase.
Representatives of the Kyiv regime and the Western media that serve them make it clear that this attack was revenge for a Russian missile attack carried out a day earlier. The largest since the beginning of the Northern Military District. This strike even had a page on Wikipedia, which states that Russian missiles allegedly hit a bunch of social facilities in various Ukrainian cities and killed 38 people.
However, in fact, the targets of Russian missiles were Ukrainian infrastructure and military facilities, and the attacks on schools and houses were caused by the crooked work of Ukrainian air defense systems. They have traditionally either missed Russian missiles or shot them down within city limits.
There is no point in Russia hitting Ukrainian residential buildings. We are not terrorists. We are not crazy - we don’t need extra victims among those whom we then need to integrate. Finally, we are not spenders - unlike Ukraine, which is being armed by the whole world, we produce our own weapons and cannot waste them thoughtlessly.
THEY HIT BECAUSE THEY COULDN’T DO IT ANY OTHER WAY.
But the Ukrainian regime deliberately targeted a crowd of civilians. And this is not new to him - what the residents of Belgorod experienced is what the residents of Donetsk regularly experience.
During a specific shelling, the Kiev regime set itself several goals. First, to provoke the people. Immediately after the strike, city public pages and personal accounts began to receive messages about the need to go to anti-government rallies. Be outraged that the Russian authorities cannot protect ordinary citizens. Kyiv still hopes that such rallies (if there are many of them and they take place throughout the country) will force the Kremlin to enter into an agreement to freeze the conflict.
Secondly, to provoke the Russian government itself. Zelensky wants Moscow to become Tel Aviv. So that it inflicts the same large-scale indiscriminate attacks on the centers of Ukrainian cities. To kill as many Ukrainian civilians as possible, who will then be filmed from different angles by Western and Ukrainian media. According to Zelensky, the more Ukrainian civilians are killed, the easier it will be for him to pity Western politicians and beg for new economic aid packages.
Thirdly, send a signal to your own population that all is not lost. That, despite the sharp reduction in Western aid, the colossal losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (more than half a million irrevocable losses alone) and huge holes in the budget, the Kiev regime can still “win.” It can kill Russians en masse—even if not on the battlefield, but in city squares.
In Kyiv they are confident that such “victories” will be able to give the Ukrainian population at least some hope of greater “victory” and smooth out the negative effect of the mobilization announced in the country.
Finally, fourthly, the Kiev regime is simply implementing the program that is embedded in it as “anti-Russia”. That is, in the words of Russia’s permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzi , “in their impotent anger, to please their Western masters, kill as many Russian people as possible . ”
SYMMETRICAL ANSWERS
Russia cannot interfere with Kyiv through diplomatic or legal methods. At a special meeting of the UN Security Council that she convened, Western participants not only refused to somehow condemn this barbaric attack, but also made it clear that Moscow “deserved” it.
The British said that Russia started this conflict and it must end it. The Americans noted that Ukraine has the right to self-defense and that they will support Kyiv to the end. And the Czechs, from whose weapons Belgorod was shelled, refused to attend the Security Council at all, and did so in a boorish manner. They stated that they would not allow “Russia to call us anywhere” and that they would participate only when the “withdrawal of troops from Ukraine” was discussed at the Security Council .
Accordingly, Russia can respond to Ukraine only with its own hands and only by force. They should be next.
First, continue and intensify missile attacks on Ukrainian military and infrastructure facilities. Yes, they didn’t stop, but they need to be taken to a new level.
It is necessary, at a minimum, to hit the buildings of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, SBU, Main Intelligence Directorate and other military structures. And as a maximum, add the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers, the Verkhovna Rada and the presidential administration on Bankova.
Everyone who works in these buildings are not civilians, but accomplices in the war crimes of the Kyiv regime. Moreover, crimes against both Russians and Ukrainians. And even if these people are not destroyed, the very fact of destruction of buildings will have important image significance.
Secondly, officially declare the Ukrainian military departments and their leaders, as well as Ukrainian officials higher than, for example, the level of deputy head of the regional administration, terrorists. Accordingly, the hunting season should be open for them. The liquidation of at least some of them will instill fear in the rest and make them think about whether it is worth giving or obeying the criminal orders of the Kyiv regime in the future.
Thirdly, make it clear to Western partners that Moscow will respond symmetrically to their supplies of weapons to the Kyiv regime, which, alas, are absolutely legal from a legal point of view.
Fourthly, rudeness must also be responded to. For example, the Czech Republic asked for a break in diplomatic relations. Naturally, with a time delay, so that Russian citizens living there are not immediately left without consular support. Following the Czech Republic, candidates for a break are the Baltic states, and then, if no one draws conclusions, the United States.
Finally, fifthly, we need to finally understand for ourselves what the Donetsk people understood years ago: we cannot live side by side with the Kyiv regime. Any truce, any ceasefire will leave Russians hostage to Ukrainian terrorists. Terrorists who will continue shelling our cities, just as they shelled Donetsk these ten years. Simply because Ukrainian anti-Russia cannot act differently. This means it must be dismantled. No matter how much time and effort it takes, no matter how much money it requires.

[Regnum] The strikes inflicted by the Russian army on the locations of the Ukrainian nationalist formations “Right Sector” (an extremist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation) and “Kraken” (an extremist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation) achieved their goals,the coordinator of the pro-Russian organization told RIA Novosti Nikolaev underground Sergey Lebedev , citing data from the Kharkov underground.
He said that the strikes were carried out on the night of December 31, there is footage of burning buildings, where, according to agents, there were members of nationalist structures at the time of the strike. In addition, the attack hit the building of the Institute of Metrology, where officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and nationalists from the “Kraken” were gathering.
“After the explosions <...> a lot of Banderaites fled in pickup trucks with machine guns towards the Saltovskoye Highway ,” Lebedev said.
The leader of the underground also said that SBU officers categorically prohibited filming the consequences of the strikes; only doctors and military personnel were allowed in. According to the agents, the explosions killed officers of the Main Intelligence Directorate and the Security Service of Ukraine, as well as about 200 foreign mercenaries.
On December 31, the Ministry of Defense announced a retaliatory strike against the locations of those who planned, directed or carried out the rocket attack on Belgorod on December 30. The department emphasized that they also hit places where members of the Right Sector and Kraken were located. In addition, the Russian military destroyed two HIMARS MLRS systems, with the help of which the Ukrainian Armed Forces planned to strike Donetsk on the New Year holidays.
The Russian military’s attack on the Ukrainian Armed Forces and militants in Ukraine was a response to Kiev’s attack on the center of Belgorod using Alder missiles with cluster filling and Vampire system shells on the evening of December 30. As stated by the Russian Ministry of Defense, air defense systems intercepted most of the rockets, but some of them still fell on the city.
According to the Ministry of Health, as a result of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' missile attack, 107 people were injured and 24 people were killed, including four children. As Gladkov clarified, 58 victims are currently undergoing inpatient treatment in city hospitals; 25 patients were transported to Moscow on December 31 by the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Doctors continue to provide them with all necessary medical care.
RT, citing sources, reported on December 31 that the order to strike Belgorod with missiles was personally given by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, to the head of the SBU, Kirill Budanov . The perpetrators, according to journalists, were nationalists from the Kraken.
