RUSSIA is a big country that has a lot of potential to become a super power, the economy and military in Russia is so strong that it can make many countries such as Europe and the USA reluctant to Russia, and what is now being done is the invasion of Ukraine as an initial test of whether other countries can act decisively. and the facts as we see.

Russia is now suffering defeat on all fronts of Ukraine and is retreating under the onslaught of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Failing to achieve success at the front, the Russians launch missile strikes and actively use attack drones to destroy critical infrastructure and densely populated cities.

So, yesterday, on October 10, Russia launched a massive attack on 18 peaceful cities of Ukraine, launching more than a hundred cruise missiles. 43 of them were shot down by Ukrainian air defense. According to Forbes, Moscow spent about $400-700 million on strikes on Ukraine in half a day. The missiles hit a thermal power plant, a playground, asphalt on the roadway, cars with people, museums, hospitals, residential buildings.
The Kremlin acknowledged these strikes, and the Russian Defense Ministry stated that the purpose of the strikes had been achieved, all designated targets had been hit.

From a military point of view, these strikes do not matter. Due to the fact that the Russians are unable to detect and neutralize Ukrainian mobile air defenses, out of impotence, they are using their usual tactics of intimidating the civilian population.

seems that they are desperate now on how to defeat ukraine. however, from the looks of it, ukraine is indeed not backing down with this battle. remember, russia is a big country and yet, they can't defeat this small country. translating the notion that russia is not the superpower country that it portrays it to be. if they do have more than enough weapon and other resources, this war should have been ended a long time ago. so i don't think russia will be the next dominant superpower, because this war alone, they couldn't show it.
