War is deception. There are many reason why there were no strikes. They may not have been used before or only sparsely, to it wasn't worse it. It's also not unlikely to keep your enemy in a feeling of false safety to lure them into traps. For example: you could strike specific locations but are not doing it. After a while the enemy will think that you are not able to or just don't have it on your radar. This might be tested out by starting to use it with few units, but when you keep ignoring it, the enemy might think it's save and create bigger build ups - then you strike. Just one example.
