Once exploded, how can they determine there were 700 bombs there? Why not, let’s say, 800? Is it an intelligence data?

Loads, but it's peanuts in comparison what you get for it. Not only you destroy multiple military airplanes, each of which is more costly than all the bombs combined, but you also buy the necessity for Russians to answer which will strain the supply lines, or gives you breather on the front lines. Not to mention the shock and awe factor that will likely force Russians into some hasty mistakes.

The collective numbers of destroyed bombs in the recent attacks are nice for themselves, but compared to the shit the russians still have access to and can cheaply turn into glide munitions its barely worth a note. It buys some time for the front troops, maybe 2 weeks, after that the logistics for restocking are in place.
What Ukraine still really needs is the decisive decision to use western ammunitions to bomb the everlasting shit out of any airfield, ammo storage and military factory within reach from the border.
It needs not one such attack every few days, but 10 EVERY day.

It's so great to see Russia getting destroyed now by Ukraine. Hopefully tye US doesn't falter on aid and they can keep crushing them. Ukraine will come out of this as the primary defense of EU and Russia will be decades behind on everything by the time this war ends. Won't need to worry about them for a long, long time.
Next we need to see the same with Iran. Then China won't have any major military allies that can do anything.

Based on satellite photos, the area struck was a kilometer from the nearest aircraft parking area, with most parked about 2.5 km away. It’s likely that very few aircraft were actually damaged, and this was primarily against weapon storage, and ersatz storage at that. That many bombs should have been in hardened bunkers, but it looks like Russia started using this base more than it had been designed for. Good strike against a vulnerable target.

This has been said for a while now yet the Russians are still creeping forward on the southeatern front. They have *a lot* of personnel and equipment to burn through before it becomes a serious problem. They don't have to last forever to succeed, just last longer than the Ukrainians.

Most of us are if we admit it or not.
I took the kids swimming yesterday. There are Ukrainian families staying near the pool. Some were in the park playing with their kids beside the car park, and in that group of 7 or 8 their were 2 that I assume were the husbands/fathers in wheelchairs with leg/legs missing.
The people who stayed to fight are paying a huge price for us to live the way we live.

You can make a pretty educated guess based on prior intelligence, the size of the explosion with satellite pictures, the aircraft stationed there, and the types of bombs being dropped from those aircraft on Ukraine.
I believe it was the main airfield that was bombing the Kharkiv and Kyiv, so 700 bombs doesn't sound like a crazy estimate.

On your conflictarm link kinda amusing to see those AliExpress/eBay buck converter and battery control module (on the left hand side of the chassis) being used there.
Also interesting is that home spun single layer circuitboard for that mcu.
I don't see anything related to GPS at first glance but the thing on the right looks like a gyroscope so it's possible the bomb relies entirely on inertial guidance.
The whole thing reeks of student mid term electrical engineering prototype project. Or more simple put if it was a production product they could have put the entire thing on a single pcb and manufacturer these much quicker and cheaper.

Well Biden sure did his best to ensure that thats how it’d play out — he has consistently forbade Ukraine from using western weapons(till now) to strike Russia territory, thus giving them a clear advantage in being able to mass supplies and men right on the border, and forcing Ukraine to take massive losses that could otherwise be avoided.

Not a terrorist attack to militarily take ground from the enemy just because they didn't expect it. There has been no revenge against civilians that I have seen. The crocus attack also had absolutely nothing to do with Ukraine, it was an ISIS attack.
A few possible motivations for this attack by Ukraine:
1 - Hit Russia where they're not expecting it, to divert Russian efforts and resources. Ukraine has to defend all of their border and can't take risks, but Russia probably has an advantage if they don't bother to defend theirs thinking Ukraine's allies wouldn't allow such an attack. Ukraine might want to level that playing field so the Russians have to man and resource their border defence properly.
2 - Pick a fight with Russia somewhere Ukraine thinks they can inflict disproportionate attrition, to maximise the loss ratio in their favour. Maybe they're trying to bait them into a fight on Ukraine's terms which plays to their advantages.
3 - Create a better defensive buffer zone along the border on the Russian side, to give breathing room against any future Russian re-invasion like what happened at Kharkiv. This ground would be modest and realistic to take and hold, unlike a deeper push.
4 - Persuade the west to allow long range strikes in Russia with western weapons, by showing Russia's red lines as meaningless and the west's "escalation management" as ludicrous. If they can invade part of Russia without escalation, surely there's no reason to prevent strikes on Russian airbases.
5 - Seize territory to get ahead of any plan to freeze the war on the current lines, as Putin will not want to freeze it with any recognised Russian territory in Ukrainian hands.
6 - PR shouldn't be overlooked. The media narrative may well be important for future support, and if attacks like this can keep up public support it might be a good thing as long as it's not costing too much or wasting stuff that's needed elsewhere.
7 - Anything that embarrasses Putin and makes him look weak may be seen as a good thing, especially if parts of Russia are less safe directly because of something he did and didn't need to do.
Not saying all of these are necessarily the case, because we don't know what the thinking is behind the scenes, but these are the possible motives for it all.

I’m no war expert like most of you redditors, but if WW2 documentaries have taught me anything, it’s that this could be a very bad move by Ukraine if Russia cut them off and encircle them. They’d be totally cut off. Which looking at the territories currently occupied by Russia seems possible.
Really hope Ukraine can pull this off, and the men doing this are extremely brave, but damn what a risky move. Best of luck Ukraine!

For any nuclear power? No:
* India and Pakistan have traded blows multiple times.
* Israel briefly considered resorting to nuking the pan-Arab coalition in the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
* And Argentina invaded a territory of Great Britain during the Falklands War.
Israel in 1973 is the closest we saw to a 3rd nuke being used in an active war (first 2 being the ones against Imperial Japan), but that was averted due to America bailing them out in Operation Nickel Grass.

1. They have already destroyed munitions
2. It causes Russia to have to spread their forces thin.
3. It forces Russians to flee into other areas, spreading panic and also showing people deeper in the country that the propaganda is bullshit.
4. Way more Russians are dying in this campaign than Ukranians, even more so here than elsewhere.
5. You can destroy air defenses deeper in.
6. Morale boost in Ukraine and its allies.

Keslar syndrome would only affect LEO, higher orbits would be fine. GPS, weather satellites etc.
Really low orbits would be relatively safe as well, because objects can't remain there without propulsion so they would clear quickly (why SpaceX puts Starlink so low and needs ion engines to stay up). The only danger they would face long term is objects falling past them.
Keslar syndrome would only deny altitudes between 400km and maybe 2000km in the short term (like a year), and 500km to 2000km in the long term (like a decade plus).
Above that altitude there isn't enough stuff to cascade.
Reaching higher orbits might be fun if satellite lifespans in LEO ever got down to hours, but this can be mitigated somewhat by different ascent profiles reducing time spent at risky altitudes.
