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.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Someone is REALLY bad at doing propaganda.
The China virus plandsmic proved once and for all that everything the US feral government says is a lie and the truth is always the exact opposite.
So Ukraine is winning again this week? I get confused because news coverage on this is like political coverage, who’s winning depends on which news outlet you watch or read.
“Central donbas is in impasse.”
It was, until the past few days, when they got cocky and moved the heavy stuff south for the Million Man March.
“Would love to see where you are getting your false info from because I just read what you posted is not true.”
Probably best for you to stick with Daily Mail.
The invincible Russian military armed with leading edge weapons of overwhelming destructive force is continuing to defeat the inferior and terminally corrupt ragtag force fielded by Ukraine. An unending supply of Russian Colonels and Generals sacrifice them selves as they lead the victorious charge /S
It was already happening since 2014 with Ukrainian Military attacking Ukraines Donbass area killing their own people......so stop ignoring the fact there was conflict in Ukraine long before Russia went into Ukraine.
“None of this would be happening if not for that [2014]
TOTALLY DISAGREE.
Putin has wanted to invade Ukraine since the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. In August 1991 with a referendum three months later, on December 1, confirmed the decision overwhelming with: 84% turnout the overall majority of over 90% voted for Ukraine independence.
**Most significantly, the vote in those regions with a larger proportion of Russian-speakers also voted the same way: Odesa, 85% votes for independence, in Luhansk 83%, in Donetsk, 77% and in Crimea over 54%.
This completely supports the desire for a separate Ukrainian population identity.
“The invincible Russian military armed with leading edge weapons of overwhelming destructive force is continuing to defeat the inferior and terminally corrupt ragtag force fielded by Ukraine.”
Certainly the case last week, but feel free to stick to Daily Mail - it’s probably best.

Crappy year to be a conscript in Russia. Or even an oligarch. But even Putin’s having a bad year.
Seems like Russian neo-imperialism, the last vestige of the Euro neo-imperialism is going down. Good. It is a highly corrupt and very destructive system. It consumes people.
Dont try to rationalize
You stated that if Mexico did what Ukraine did we would invade.
Ukraine never did what you claimed.
The Taliban, unlike the Russians, relied largely on light infantry tactics with a very short logistical tail. The Russians are dependent upon masses of artillery and concentrated firepower, and so are vulnerable to supply disruption in a way the Taliban was not.
Great post
“Crappy year to be a conscript in Russia.”
Even worse to be a Ukrainian conscript, be given an AK to share with another conscript, be dumped in a Front Line trench.
“Seems like Russian neo-imperialism is going down.”
Let me know when it starts. So far I only see Russia rolling up Russian-speaking lands.
By the way, you guys get that war with China started yet?
You mean carry out mass genocides of Afghan civilians etc etc?
How's that worked out for any regime/occupier/invader anywhere?
It worked for the Soviet Union in “winning over” its own people. It worked for the British in South Africa, and for the Spanish in Cuba, until the Americans declared war and changed that game. It worked for the US in parts of the Philippines, 1899-1902. It worked for the British in Malaya, but they only had to do it for a fraction of the population. It worked for the US in Vietnam, eventually, hence crushing the Viet Cong. But the US abandoned that now-conventional war for its own internal political reasons.
Etc.
I’ll believe it when Russia declares victory and high tails it back across the border.
