Kiev has been under continuous Russian drone attack for 80 hours. Another warehouse in the city is producing lots of secondary explosions after being hit -- presumably ammunition, again.
Every strike is a calculation: the cost of the munition vs the value of the target, the number of munitions available vs the likelihood of the target being fully destroyed by X number of munitions, the confidence in the target having been correctly identified, the potential collateral damage vs the value of the target.
In recent months, none of the technical aspects of the Russian calculation have changed. What has changed is the collateral damage calculation. Before this year, military targets such as "secret" ammo dumps and drone workshops in dense civilian areas - residential neighborhoods, downtown and such - were usually off-limits, regardless of the available munitions or the value of the target, outside of some very care edge cases.
The sustained and increased Ukrainian terror campaign against the Russian civilian population and civilian commercial targets has persuaded Russian leadership to slightly relax the rules for targeting and accept a slightly larger number of collateral damage -- first at the beginning of the year, then again in spring, and now a little more. The dial has been turned a few degrees, and life in Kiev and other major Ukrainian cities has already become a lot less pleasant.
None of these "secret" "well-hidden" stockpiles of missiles and drones are actually secret -- what has stopped the Russian military from striking them before is the fact that they are concealed among civilians, and avoiding collateral damage has so far been an extreme priority for Russian command, at the severe expense of operational tempo and potential high-value strikes.
The intensity can still be dialed up by a lot if necessary.
