I doubt that the little fairy Zelensky really did any such thing.
“Intriguing. Zelensky says he brought “something” to his military when he visited them on Donbas frontline yesterday. “I won’t talk about it in detail”
*****
Zel: “I have 5 billion from the American people..”
Ukrainians: “I thought it was 50 billion..”
Zel :”Well, the rest is for my new houses in Israel, Miami, Spain etc. when I escape later on..”
Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited UAF at the front lines in the Zaporizhia and Donetsk regions

Guess when you got nothing else to say about reality, you just make up stupid crap.
Get back to me when Putin, who like all bullies is a coward, puts himself in danger.
RE: Zel :”Well, the rest is for my new houses in Israel, Miami, Spain etc. when I escape later on..”
Why wait?
Russians are incredible! [They have no credibility.]
No T-72 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed at the Kyiv plant - Leshchenko

Given the sheer amount of BS journalism coming out of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, it amazes me daily that peeps are still eating the sh*t up, and even further, helping to spreading it.
HIMARS mobile MLRS system.
Most of the damage done by both sides is artillery. Most of the artillery is Russian, with the same range and abilities, Russia just has more of them. It is plainly obvious that the HIMARS using longer ranged, GPS guided missiles, are going to reduce Russia's numerical artillery advantage.
They are descendants from the MLRS used in both Gulf Wars, which were designed to take out Russian tank formations in Cold War scenarios. Russian state media and cheerleaders are going nuts over this. Claims of how these are going to target Russian territory and Russia will have to escalate, etc, just show how worried Russia really is about these. They know exactly what these can do to their equipment heavy, personal light BTG formations.
In fact HIMARs with GMLRS is barely matching in range the quite widespread Smerch used by both Russian and Ukrainian forces. The Russian Smerch is also guided, but surpasses HIMARs in firepower.

>”Smerch” salvo accuracy is no more than 0.21% of rockets flying range.
That’s 190 meters for the reported range of 90km.
They are originally an area weapon just like MLRS. There is a vast array of guided munitions for them, including GPS-guided with the same CEP as GMRLS.
Interesting long term view of Russia’s energy / financial situation. Essentially, Russia needs energy sales to Europe more than Europe needs those sales. While Russia can pivot to other customers, the infrastructure to do that big time doesn’t exist and will be hugely costly, in parallel to what may be a long conflict in Ukraine and proxy war with the 40x wealthier West (not even counting many allies of the West.)
Also note the information on the very large Ukrainian energy resources Pooty takes off the market or gains for Russia by annexing big slices of Ukraine, also devastating Ukraine as an economic competitor. Talk about blood for oil...
Russia’s Catastrophic Oil & Gas Problem

I doubt Europe will successfully go totally green, but, I also DON’T doubt the medium term ability of Europe to access alternate gas and oil supplies. That especially if adults regain the leadership of the USA.
FTA:
“Russia may find itself in charge of lands pummelled and deprived of infrastructure, with people who stayed hardly viewing the occupying forces as liberators”
Russia is hardly better than Reagan’s “Evil Empire”.
What Ukraine could make good use of would be about 500 M777-ER’s. THAT would make Pooty pout.
GPS is really old hat (tho’ in widespread use.)
And the point is? My point is that MLRS is overhyped regarding this conflict.
It is a dual use system, a rocket launcher and a missile platform.
So are the Russian and Ukrainian systems, even though they are seldom used as the missile platform because there are better systems for such capacity.
Then the media tries to compare the Russian systems in the capacity of rocket launcher with the MLRS as a missile platform which is intellectually dishonest to start with.
The only use for MLRS with GMLRS or ATACMs is as a terror weapon against the civilian targets on Russian territory.
The shoe is on the other foot now. The ppl in the Donbass went through 8 years of constant shelling and bombing, and were tortured and killed by the Azov and other neo-Nazi militias, and the West didn’t GAS. Karma is a b!tch.
