Russia is now unable to counter Western weapons in Ukraine. ATACMS missiles will be unbearable burden for Russian army, - Zaluzhny advisor Rice News Censor.NET War in Ukraine atacm
Russia is finding it increasingly difficult to wage war in Ukraine because of the effective use of Western weaponry by the Ukrainians.
This was stated in an interview to Ukrinform by American combat veteran and adviser to the Commander-in-Chief of the AFU Dan Rice, noting that Russia is unlikely to be able to significantly counter this weaponry in the short term, reports Censor.NЕТ.
Rice recently returned from Donbass, where he observed changes on the battlefield and assessed Ukraine's needs to achieve victory in the war.
"It appears that Russia is finding it increasingly difficult to wage war in Ukraine. Ukraine has done an excellent job striking control points, supply trains and troop concentrations," he said.

The expert explained that the Russian Army's logistic support system requires centralized trains, which is due to the "palletized" type of logistics. This makes warehouses excellent targets for high-precision HIMARS and M777s, he noted.
"If - and hopefully when - Ukraine gets ATACMS missiles (missiles that fly up to 300 kilometers - ed.), Russia has nowhere in Ukraine to hide its command and control systems or supply formations," Rice said. .
"There should be an agreement between NATO and Ukraine that no ATACMS will be launched outside Ukrainian territory. The maintenance of an army that does not control the skies and will be bombarded anywhere in the occupied territories will probably prove to be a burden for the Russian army that it is not capable of carrying," the adviser emphasized.
He noted that the maintenance of the army, which does not control the sky and will experience shelling in any place in the occupied territories, will probably prove to be "a burden that the Russian Armed Forces are not able to bear".
According to Rice, most of the Western weapons – the NLAW, Stinger, Javelin, HIMARS, Switchblade, M777 precision munitions, Gray Eagle and Harpoon – have proven incredibly effective against the Russian military.
"Russia has known about most of these platforms for a long time and yet cannot successfully counter them elsewhere. It is unlikely that Russia will be able to significantly counter these platforms in the near term - within the next few years. In my view, with enough of these weapons, it is only a matter of the time when Ukraine will achieve victory and expel the Russians from its land," said adviser of Valeriy Zaluzhny.
But the stone age fighters of the Taliban countered these “advanced” western weapons with no problem and chased the Americans out?
“...all you are hearing in the Western mainstream media about the course of the conflict is the most absurd Baghdad Bob level propaganda imaginable...”

Oh snap, the peddlers of such ‘Baghdad Bob level propaganda’ should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
“It appears that Russia is finding it increasingly difficult to wage war in Ukraine.”
Not in Central Donbas. Seems that Ukraine moved a lot of armour from there to the South for the Million Man March and left Donbas unguarded. Not going well for the Neocons there.
‘Baghdad Bob level propaganda’
This video was just for you. He is too Pro-Putin for me.
ATACMS missiles will be unbearable burden for Russian army, - Zaluzhny advisor Rice,First rule of war/battle: Never underestimate the capabilities of your enemy.
Let them rain,
Yes, of course, and the truth will set you free only when one is willing to accept the truth. Till then, keep enjoying that absurd Baghdad Bob level of propaganda being spewed out and churned out by the Western/US/EU/NATO propaganda...no matter how much it does NOT reflect actual on the ground reality.
Earlier, at the Aspen Security Forum, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan reiterated that the US wouldn’t provide Ukraine with ATACMs missiles. He explained that they could be used to attack the territory of Russia, which would lead to an even more significant escalation of the war.
In the past six weeks, I’d say the war has changed to some degree.
These supply/logistics depots are being routinely hit now. Recruitment of new Russian conscripts now goes up in the mid-40s age group. Bootcamp for new conscripts is mostly a joke now for the Russians (some say they spent a week at Bootcamp before being shipped to the front). Last week, Russian 1960s type river-crossing equipment was brought to the front...because the more modern hardware has been destroyed.
None of this is an indication of the Ukraine being better....just that the Russians have fumbled around and tried run a military for decades ‘on the cheap end’ of things.
Hope this helps to clarify:
“Despite social media reports claiming he’s a billionaire, Volodymyr Zelensky doesn’t come close to making Forbes’ global wealth rankings.
Lee Stranahan, an American host on Kremlin-owned and controlled Radio Sputnik featured in the Oliver Stone documentary “Revealing Ukraine,” tweeted: “Why Is Zelensky a Billionaire?”
Forbes’ answer: he’s not.
The Russian invasion has hit Ukraine’s billionaires hard. According to Forbes’ 36th annual World’s Billionaires List, there are only seven left in the country and Zelensky is not one of them (nor is former president and chocolate magnate Petro Poroshenko, who dropped from the rankings this year).
Zelensky did own a $4.6 million villa in Forte dei Marmi, Italy as of December 2019, according to the most recent filing by his holding company. He apparently sold it during 2020.
His main asset: an estimated 25% stake in Kvartal 95, a group of companies that produce humorous shows, which he transferred to his partners after being elected president, though he’ll likely regain his shares after leaving office. Kvartal 95 produced and owns the Servant of the People series, a popular political comedy starring Zelensky as a Ukrainian high school teacher who is elected president. Netflix, which previously streamed the show between 2017 and 2021, snapped up the rights again in March.”
“Earlier, at the Aspen Security Forum, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan reiterated that the US wouldn’t provide Ukraine with ATACMs missiles.”
Who knows! LOL
I am personally unsure of latest status of the lend-lease agreement for Ukraine which is the legislative act that simplifies the transfer of weapons for free, for rent, or with compensation after the war.
It’s war on Ukraines soil - between Russia and Bidens using Ukrainian military to fight his war.....as Ii see it If Mexico had joined a Russian military alliance, bought billions in Russian weapons, conducted military exercises with Russian military on Mexican soil and had its military trained by Russians, plus ship countless planes of military equipment to Central America countries...... the US would certainly invade Mexico.
When Zelensky finally sits at the negotiating table, or he’s replaced so peace has a chance, once that begins I think he’ll he’ll take off to his villa and likely not return to office. His JOB is to keep the Ukrainians fighting and maintaining the US $$$$$$$ flowing in.
Nope, it’s just more globalist propaganda talking points. Zelensky is looting his country and now he wants to start WW3.
When are you planning to leave for Ukraine to fight ? Nobody here except a handful of mental patients wants us involved in that quagmire.
He’s lining Soros & Co’s pockets with tens of billions of our money (money we don’t have in the first place), and Zelensky gets a cut, all while looting his country for himself. These people are pure evil, and yet we have imbeciles and literal demons on FR pushing to involve us militarily in a situation that could trigger WW3.
Greedily desperate to ride the gravy train until the last Ukrainian able to pick up a rifle is dead face down in the mud.
“Greedily desperate to ride the gravy train until the last Ukrainian able to pick up a rifle is dead face down in the mud.”
Disagree. Your source?
These propagandists have blood on their hands for doing it, too. People would not support money being sent over there if they dared to print the truth. God probably looks at as participating in murder. But they will just snicker at that thought.
