UKR Million Man Counter Offensive..
In spite of US intentions not to place long range missiles in Zelinsky’s hands, chatter indicates the US will provide HIMARS, capable of propelling certain missiles as far as 350km. The HIMARS facilitate other shorter range missiles, as well.
US is said to actually have a smaller inventory of HIMARS than supposed, and the Financial Times of London reports that one-third of the US missile inventory, of 25,000, have been already sent to UKR.
There is also a point to be considered where US manufacturing of its own missiles replacement becomes strained by UKR, affecting the rate of production of replacement missiles, fast enough.
The Russia DUMA is set to meet.
The meeting is characterized in some reports as an emergency meeting.
Russia is well publicizing this meeting, and after Putin’s strong words in his most recent speech it is presumed the meeting will likely not be routine.
Russia Putin wants the war closed out.
Russia Putin hears reports of escalation by NATO Biden.
Chances are Russia DUMA will prepare for both scenarios.
Possibly, it is also posited thought that the bluster of a Million Man Counter Offensive is mis-direction [noise] in order to stop the Kearshan region from their long scheduled Referendum vote to join Russia.
Russian battle field reports severe degradation of UKR trained troops. Nothing has been heard from the Azov Nazi Battalion for weeks and Zelinsky has had no advances for retaking Anything.
“Who are these guys?”, comes to mind.
