Easily countered by lots of drones with 30+ year old US HARM technology. (45 years ago, my eventual Best Man @ my wedding was working on HARM tech for TI -- Among other fascinating things that unfortunately are necessary in this world. A very interesting friend to have, even if he couldn't and still can't go into all the details...)
That said, as I posted above, if you have some old HARM tech applied to reasonably stealthy long range drones, why bother with the large expense of ballistic missiles?
“That said, as I posted above, if you have some old HARM tech applied to reasonably stealthy long range drones, why bother with the large expense of ballistic missiles?”
Russia, so far, is willing to absorb the drones. But when Germany starts sending missiles into Russia, think 1941 and then Russia’s response won’t be a surprise.
Once again, if Putin orders his army to go home all of this ends.
It really is that simple.
I don’t care what Victoria Nuland or Susan Rice did 8 years ago. They ain’t in charge any more.
Pull all the Russian troops back across the internationally recognized border and the dying stops.

They sure are lucky they got NATO membership ... wait, What?
Russia launching the biggest European War since WWII by invading their neighbor and then calling in the North Korean army, of course draws the interest of America and NATO, Russia is doing the very thing that NATO exists to defend its members from and hope to restrain Russia from doing.
Russia is the reason NATO exists.
“Once again, if Putin orders his army to go home all of this ends.”
...and so does Putin’s life, so that’s not happening.
Next option, please.
The Ukraine is not a member of NATO. qed
“NATO exists to defend its members”

That isn’t going to happen and it wouldn’t end anything because the anti Russian financial & economic policies would still be in place.
The Russians have no reason to change what they’re currently doing.
Ukraine as a Western puppet entity is kaput.
Nobody thinks that Ukraine is in NATO, and NATO is not fighting Russia, Russia and North Korea are fighting Ukraine.
BUT——Russia launching the biggest European War since WWII by invading their neighbor and then calling in the North Korean army, of course draws the interest of America and NATO, Russia is doing the very thing that NATO exists to defend its members from and hope to restrain Russia from doing.
Russia is the reason NATO exists, and NATO is naturally paying attention to Russia’s invasion and doing what it can to lend some help to the victim without engaging North Korea and Russia with its/our military forces.
The Ukraine is not a member of NATO. qed

True statement.
However, they sure have NATO countries providing many people, money, and munitions in their fight.
Ukraine is a “lost cause” but many people bought into the initial USA/UK/Ukraine early war propaganda and they’ll have to be ‘let down easy” by their media masters.
President Trump is training Ukraine soldiers right now.
In fact the unit just taking over the mission in Germany under President Trump, last trained Ukrainians to fight Russia when President Trump had them doing it in Ukraine in 2018.
“they will sent tens of thousand into all the military sites including the Kremlin, in 100 percent of the country.”
I bet you get an ernie just thnking about that fantasy. NATO is a defnsive alliance. Article 5 does not apply to attacking another country.
If Ukraine can build a very successful cruise missile, Neptune they can build a ballistic missile. Also, they have state owned companies that build rockets.
Moskva
If 80% of Ukraine is currently free and independent, how is it a "lost cause"?
20% of Georgia was occupied by Russia is it a lost cause?
10% of Finland is occupied by Russia, is it a lost cause?
Putin wouldn't even agree to the US plan of freezing the conflict, in essence allowing Russia to hold its seized territories.
He wants all of Ukraine
"It just seems like he wants to go all the way and just keep killing people. It's not good. I wasn't happy with it," Trump told reporters.
LOL, its called a mobile launcher.
When has Russia been attacked in a way that seriously tests their defenses? What feeble attempts that have been made have been relatively successful. That’s why Russia keeps threatening nukes. They could not withstand a
conventional attack by NATO forces. They “have been saying” is just that. Tsunami torpedos, hypersonic missles, foxbatmoonbeam fighters, one red line after another, vaunted SAMs and air defense. In the end they simply feed their population into a meat grinder.
