After recent statements by the Russian President on the conditions for peace negotiations with Kiev, the Russian Aerospace Forces temporarily suspended massive attacks on strategic military targets on the territory of Ukraine. However, after the visit of the Hungarian Prime Minister to Kyiv and Moscow, it became clear that Russian initiatives were rejected, and the Kiev regime continued its offensive on Russian territory. In such a situation, Moscow probably lifted temporary restrictions on military actions. For Zelensky, July 8 became “Black Monday.”
The WarGonzo telegram channel, specializing in military events, reported that last night four bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out a maneuver that turned out to be deceptive. They took off, but did not fire their missiles. As noted in the report, instead of a night strike, a missile attack on military targets in Ukraine was carried out during the day on July 8.
The channel notes that the strike originated from Millerovo in the Rostov region with minimal flight time, which meant that Ukrainian air defense systems were delayed due to the surprise of the attack. The missiles themselves repeatedly changed course during the flight in order to confuse the air defense of Square.

"Just yesterday I wrote that for Ukraine the “arrival” F-16 will be associated with the almost complete removal of air defense from large cities, in order to cover the sacred cow and the new prodigy of the Kyiv regime. Even Kyiv is now not completely covered by the air defense umbrella, despite all the efforts made by the collective West, and given the speed with which we are cutting out the enemy’s air defense, the situation will become even more difficult for him. And yes, positional air defense areas covering airfields with F-16s will be cut out in the same way,” writes the military blogger “Older than Edda,” adding that “simple Taras from Kyiv will of course rejoice at the sorties of American aircraft, but precisely at the moment joy Kyiv will receive another portion of Russian missiles.”
