I believe that sweeping Russian Artillery from the battlefield would be one key to kicking Russia out of Ukraine.
OK "Tonto", let's talk "Silver Bullets".
More HIMARs launchers including the longer range missiles would be a great start.
Laser designating targets that others shoot at is very difficult. I speak from personal experience dropping LGBs being lased by a ground FAC.
Accurate GPS coordinates is enough, if the ordnance can be delivered quickly. Here's where Air Launched, Rocket Assisted Small Diameter Bombs would work.
The UKR MiGs would orbit, safely away from mobile SAMs, AAA, and at an altitude that would keep them safe from S-400s.
Then, when a target is assigned, GPS coordinates would then be provided. If the target is in range, the MiG pilot would arm it up and hit the pickle button. If the target is not in range. the MiG can fly at 10nm per minute and then release the SDB when in range.
I believe the best way to knock out artillery is to kill or severely injure the crews. This can be accomplished by setting the fuse for an air burst.
SDB could also stand for "Silver Damned Bullet".
Send more Artillery!
My impression was that the turkish baklavar drones could do the longer range targeting but that the ukes needed to first take out russian tracking that targeted the baklavar drones.
For a time we heard that the ukes had mastered the the takeout of russian ground radar tracking in the Kherson region. and that that enabled the ukes to send in the baklavar drones. for targeting.
Then that story died.
Something happened. The russians did something or the ukes didn’t something. Or something changed. Whatever, the solution to the artillery problem disappeared.
Anyone know what happened? or how that could be changed/upgraded?
