Sure, but it's not as if they are short on legitimate targets to select from. And Russia needs to protect them all. Oil infra, steel production, weapons manufacturing, rail control nodes, and probably a long list of critical supply companies to these sectors. If you can choke off supplies before they become supplies.. you are playing a longer game, but a more costly and devastating one at that.

The thing about hitting the factories is you need to be able to hit most or all of the factories for a specific item. And Russia moved a lot of industry out of the Western area in world war 2. I don't know how much is still out that way but it's probably enough to limp along. And annihilating supplies in the supply dump forces a greater strain on the whole system simply because they need more trucks. By blowing up trucks and supply depots you can freeze entire divisions in place.

Or key bottlenecks, like with the refinery crackers

Oh don't say that, it makes me so excited. Almost as excited as I would be to hear they got Putin.
