My own guess is that those attacks are just a morale boost for the home front to show off some "victories" by making some strikes that cause devestation. This will show that the russian military is strong and on the offensive. This is a way to compensate for the fact that their army sucks and that they have failed to beat Ukraine on the battlefield. This wave of missiles did cost much money so I guess that prioritizing their production and wastage on civilian targets would only help Ukraine win the war, as that russian money are better spend on other things and that those missiles could be spent on something else for a day when they are needed. Doing this missile attack was after a ship exploded was also perhaps a way to recover from a humiliation by showing a strength through a powerful missile attack. It might be true that Ukraine supply of SAMs are limited. But it is also true that russias supply of missiles are limited too. And if Ukraines stocks of Patriots are running low then I believe that the west will send more and meanwhile can they use their remaining patriot missiles, and use HAWK, IRIS-T, S-300 meanwhile. And even Ukraines stocks would run dangerously low, will it not change anything in the long run as Ukraine gets F16 jets that can compensate for some of the weakness in air defence on the ground. It is also possible that the Swedish Robot-70 took out those russian S-34 planes recently. So Ukrainian air defence is much stronger than last winter. Russian smart bombs are quite crappy on the other hand. Their precision is bad. And you do not need to be able to hit targets with 4 meters radius from the target like a HIMARS rocket if you use your bombs for nuking cities. However by using such missiles and reconfigure them to carrying a conventional payload gives them much limitations as it becomes hard to make precision strikes with them. Ukraine have small targets that constantly moves around which makes them hard hot for the slow moving russian military with its rigid structure of command, and even if you manage to fire a missile before the Ukrainians have a chance to run away you will likely not hit your target anyways because the precision is garbage. So what is the solution then? Ukraine does not have any big battleships or aircraft carriers you can sink. So the only big targets you can find are hospitals, apartments, museums and such. Some russian missiles last year was even found filled with concrete instead of a explosive warhead. So by doing these stupid air raids are russia running low on missiles they can use in a nuclear war. Furthermore have the missiles that have been used been produced recently according to Denys Davydov. He took that as a bad sign that russia still are able to produce new missiles. But I do on the other hand have the opposite view an see it as a good sign that russia have runned out of all their old stocks of this weapons that they are now forced to use their recently produced weapons. Russia is not like America that got ATACMS missiles from the 1990s still in storage. They have runned out of their old stockpiles of missiles. And the missiles they got have bad precision. And many of them are also being shot down.
