Maybe the ammo shortages have already kicked in.
Well, I'm sure the US military-industrial complex will be able to restock them by the end of 2023...

Yep, they were good weapons until Ukraine likely sold the Russians one of the systems. So, yea, now it looks as though the Russians have tuned their defenses. Now I guess we’ll have to spend another $10B to come up with a new system that we’ll try to have available for combat BEFORE giving it to one of the most corrupt countries in world, to hand over to Russia (and China, for that matter), a copy of it. By the way, this is a PRIME reason not get involved in conflicts where vital interests aren’t at stake.
As far as ammo, the Russians are starting (finally) to strike deeper into Ukraine on a regular basis, so getting weapons forward has become a bit more ‘sporty’. Not too mention that half of our stockpile is now gone.
As far as restocking, figure 2024 at best, as the US requires minority content, woke training, and God knows what else, and that’s just to be considered for bidding. Then you have new regulations, such as the conveyance vehicles now having to be electric, rather than diesel, and so you have development time for that. Given that, maybe 2025, if we’re lucky.

I did notice that they took out the Antonivsky Bridge this week, and struck the one at Nova Khakova repeatedly, as well as exploding more than one Russian ammo dump per day.
“Did you notice that the HIMARS terror weapons seem to have disappeared this week?”
Another Russian ammo dump blowing up last night outside of Kerson (Chernobaivka), the Antonivsky Bridge was hit again yesterday, and the nearby area of Inzhynerne.
Also, the barracks of some Russian Airborne troops in Kadiivka, Luhansk Oblast was struck last night. Reportedly, a lot of VDV troops were packed into the hotel they were occupying there, when the HIMARS struck. Mass casualties.
