Sounds easy! Too easy! The magic bullet the Ukraine Conflict. Or rather the magic missile the Ukraine Conflict should I say?
ATACMS and HIMARS the war-winning measure?
1. "Army Tactical Missile System could finally break Russia’s spine"
From https://www.wearethemighty.com | the article by Logan Nye | Oct 23, 2023.
"Weeks ago, this author celebrated the liberation of Robotyne. Robotyne marked Ukrainian forces officially reaching the point where they could launch HIMARS strikes against the M14/E58 road that runs along the coast of the Sea of Azov. That meant Ukraine could, technically, sever the land bridge with fires."
"Ukraine could choke Russian forces over the long winter of food, ammo, fuel, and, most importantly, winter clothing."
An effective and continuous bombardment of the M14/E58 road by ATACMS will mean a rapid and quick end to the Conflict? I am doubtful.
https://smallwarsjournal.com | article by Dan Rice | 10/29/2023.
"The United States can help Ukraine win the war with one final decision: Send the short to mid-range HIMARS cluster rockets in large quantities. We have tens of thousands of these rockets, and they are all being scheduled for destruction. They are obsolete. But they remain lethally effective."
American HIMARS rocket artillery rounds of an antiquated variety stockpiled USA in an abundance and awaiting destruction. Send to Ukraine and fire them all off. Stockpiled outmoded ammunition done away with with at ZERO cost.
Personally I doubt that the Russian killed-in-action 300,000 troops at this juncture of the Conflict. More like 300,000 total casualties KIA, POW, MIA, WIA combined.
Calculations of Dan Rice too neat and clean, too precise to be real-world. Formulae of such sort rarely if ever battlefield accurate!
I must admit this Dan Rice does have an impressive curriculum vitae [CV]. And is an artillery officer. Presumably he does know what he is talking about.
But again, sounds easy! Too easy! War over, lickety-split fashion, Ukraine prevails. More than likely a mirage!
