Waves of infantry and vehicles is really what MLRS/HIMARS was all about...then they stopped making the rockets with submunitions...which from a combat perspective is probably short sighted. The range, reloading options/ammo caches, counterfire-artillery and forward observers is the real question.
I believe we have plenty in inventory but will not use or give them away as the failure rate is too high. Something like over 3% of the munition fail to explode leaving creating a long term hazard.
Doesn't matter much, through western aid and captured Russian equipment Ukraine has gained artillery superiority. And their HIMARS are busy wreaking havoc on Russian logistics.
The only advantage Russia has now is the ability to throw corpses at Ukraine. With Russian mobilization the number of Russians killed everyday has literally tripled. Early on in the war there was hope that Russian citizens would start turning against the war once their soldiers were getting killed. That isn't happening as dead soldiers families get paid out large sums of money. Just more evidence of how shallow and materialistic russian society is.
*shiver*
This is how the united states justifies its next war. I can see it now.
Because:
1: we're really not that different
2: Russia only got a 10 year taste of capitalism in terms of anyone alive today. We've been practicing for 200 years
3: American republicans are literally already doing russia
Sorry about your son. Want a peloton?
How about just offer the parents a nice 2.1% Mortgage with a HELOC option?
And never-ending bread sticks?
And never-ending bread sticks?
They have 3 lines. The 2nd and 3rd line are instructed to shoot anyone retreating from the forward line.
Totally sustainable.
Like, with a trebuchet? Given their depleting inventory of arms, they may need to consider it.
I think this is part of the dehumanization of russians, as an enemy.
I think Russia is like Venezuela. People have been slowly boiled for so long... they just suck up each additional degree and accept a totalitarian gvmt as part of daily life; not that they are intrinsically evil or essentially different than the west.
Except that they are very different from the west. But maybe this is also normal in Venezuela?
Definitely normal in texas!
I thought it was a consensual thing in Texas!
“A normal thing in any all-male collective”.

That's actually our current military problem right now as well since all the combat vets from OIF/OEF have left service. Pretty difficult to find any combat patches these days that aren't E-7 and upNo sergeants and no brains

But we actually have processes to train and shape our NCO corps. We build our forces entirely on this and delegate authority as necessary.
Just not enough dicks on lips, that is all

this is what I thought when I read of the withdrawal. fingers crossed we're wrong.
Putin may be crazy, but I don't think he's THAT crazy.
Nah just that dam upstream from the city.
Russia's retreat looks like it is turning into panicked running and a rout. Of course the only place they have to run is to a bridge-less river that is controlled by Ukrainian artillery.
Also, these were Russia's best troops.
