All right, Alexander. Let's talk about the big Russian missile strike, not only missiles,

missiles, missiles, drones. It seems like the Russians through a whole bunch of things at Ukraine

yesterday.

And they hit just about every major city as well.

And I didn't really see much success from the air defense wonder weapons of Ukraine either.

So what's going on here? No, I mean, I think this is absolutely not.

Now, this is the first big Russian missile strike of this winter. I mean, there's been a lot of speculation about whether the Russians would launch big missile strikes this winter.

We've been waiting to see them and, you know, there's been some people wondering whether they

And this coming after Ukraine itself has been, Kiev itself especially, has been attacked now for several, over several

nights over the past week or so. So this was a huge attack. And it's interesting because of the number

of things that it tells us. First, you're absolutely correct. It does look as if a large number of these missiles and drones got through and hit their targets. Now, Ukraine has said

that it shot down 87 of the missiles, but it looks as if something like 120, 130 were launched.

So even Ukraine is no longer claiming a 90, 100% success rate as it used to do.

So that's a thing already a concession. In practice, I mean, many people, even epoch times, I noticed a short time ago,

conceded that many, many more of these missiles and many,

many more of these drones get through. And they have hit lots of different targets up and
