Why doesn't Russia give advance warning when using hypersonic missiles?

Question

If they are targeting infrastructure and the missiles can't be shot down, then why not do this to avoid casualties?

If they would have cared about civilian casualties, they should not have started the invasion of Ukraine in the first place. They had zero legit reasons to start it in the first place.

Why doesn't Russia give advance warning when using hypersonic missiles?The goal of war is to make your enemies surrender and to take their resources. If they are destroying infrastructure then they want control of the land. They can't control the land if it is occupied. Their perceived enemies must flee, surrender or die fighting. They may likely rinse and repeat with Poland, Iceland and then others based on their troop and vessel positioning.Obligatory, "War never changes."

Not sure if you are joking. Watch some russian state tv and you will see that they are aiming for civilian casualties. They believe that if they attack the civilian population orinary Ukrainians will favoir giving up to avoid more attacks (this has failed and will never work).
