Isn’t this the same strategy as Nazi Germany’s Blitz against London? How did that work out?

It's also the same strategy the US employed against North Vietnam. The track record of using aerial bombardment when the ground game isn't working doesn't seem very good.

As I recall, Nazi Germany got their Cities Incinerated without warning, which would correspond with Nazi Ukraine getting their Cities Incinerated without warning, finally punishing the German Nazis that fled to Ukraine and joined with their Bandera offshoots there.

And you should research the reason Germany bombed London.

Betcha the Nazis were not doing this.

The RF Armed Forces use E95M air targets to open Ukrainian air defense systems. They are designed to imitate targets of any type - from a cruise missile to an IL-76 aircraft. Target missiles are not equipped with a warhead, they are sent at the forefront of a wave of drones and cruise missiles. After that, the identified air defense systems are destroyed by anti-radar missiles from SU-30 and SU-35 aircraft. https://t.me/SolovievLive/148494

Same strategy…different tactics

Blitz was aimed at London civilian infrastructure to demoralize the population, lead to pressure on political establishment
Weapons not precisely targeted

Russia knocking out civil-military infrastructure ( power grid precise nodes and military logistics) to cripple war resupply and to demoralize military and civilians, pressure political establishment. But civilian casualties not the goal, and are very low given the firepower being expended

--- "Isn't this the same strategy as Nazi Germany's Blitz against London? How did that work out?"

Indeed. How did it work out? It was also the strategy applied to Dresden. I watched a documentary in which war widows from bombed Dresden and bombed Coventry, years later, were interviewed. Their response to the "either side" was no forgiveness or understanding at all. An end came to that war, of course, but the average Joe aches long after, on both sides. Moreover, I recall back in 1987 working with a German who used the word "conquered: in referring to his nation. Even then. Wounds leave scars, and scars can be re-opened so easily.

The Americans came and kicked butt. Don’t think it will happen this time.
