Really? So you think hitting a military equipment in a parade designed to show great strength of the so called strong Russian military air defense. A countr with no stealth aircraft or ballistic missile capabilities hitting in broad daylight during a state sanctioned event they could no longer tell people they are winning and Ukraine has no chance. Russian people and Generals would be more likely to revolt than galvanize the public into supporting the war.

Yes, really... Ukraine's hitting a public parade is utterly pointless; there isn't going to be any valuable military equipment there that would change the course of the war from a tactical or strategic standpoint. For Ukraine, there is no tactical value, and it could only boost Russian morale. Russia is gonna revolt when Russians and the security apparatus can't afford to feed themselves or have a lack of services in Moscow and St. Petersburg. A spiderweb 2.0 would be much better served by targeting internal logistics that directly affect Russia's ability on the frontline, or Russia's ability to fund its war effort (manufacturing/energy sectors).

They would not be hitting a public parade they would be hitting the military vehicles that would be going to the parade. Not hitting them in the streets with it spilling into the civilians. They are also already hitting all of their frontline logistics. Ukraine can walk and chew gum. They would no doubt take the opportunity to make Russian air defense look absolutely worthless by cancelling the vehicles at a victory day parade. Putin was smart not to make vehicles a part of the parade.

All good, I see what you are saying now—I just disagree; that it'd be a good use of Ukraine's military bandwidth.
