Russian Ops in Ukraine: Rocket Launchers and Lost Cities
Update on Russian Military Operations in Ukraine for May 31, 2022 - Russian advances continue - roads out of Severodonetsk-Lysychansk cauldron under Russian artillery fire; - Ukraine launches anemic “counteroffensives” as political distractions from strategic catastrophe unfolding for them in the Donbas; - Ukraine, Western media float notion of Ukrainian retreat in Donbas; - Western media beginning to cover the full scale of Ukraine’s continued defeat; - Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) may still be sent, just not with long-range missiles; - US MLRS have steep logistical needs, large physical footprint that will make them cumbersome, easy to spot and destroy; - Other “wonder weapons” are being cleared off the battlefield in a similar manner, including most recently Italian FH70 howitzers; - Javelin and Stingers will take years to replace; - Nothing short of a direct NATO intervention will reverse course for Ukraine.
