Himars: what are the advanced rockets US is sending Ukraine?

We need to end this. The West is prolonging more death and agony. And Russia would not be faulted for bombing a few NATO nations.
If he does his military forces will be utterly destroyed in weeks. If he responds with nukes his country ceases to exist.

This appeasement bullshit out of fear Putin will hurt us was old and tired 83 years ago when it was being peddled by Chamberlain.

Appeasement only benefits the aggressor and fully empowers them to take even more.
 

HIMARS will now be the best artillery on the battlefield, better than anything MUSCOVY has. Once a path has been cleared, these HIMARS bang sticks should do very nicely to help get Crimea back.​

Why are they valuable?

Himars will give Ukraine’s forces the ability to strike further behind Russian lines, and at distances better protected from Russia’s own long-range weaponry.

The GPS-guided missiles the Himars shoots have a range about double that of the M777 howitzers that the US recently supplied to Ukraine forces.


At roughly 80km it generally puts Himars out of range of Russia’s own artillery, while placing the Russian batteries at risk.

He's only sending four units and a very limited number of missiles so obviously it's not going to be any kind of game changer.

Send a couple of hundred of these systems and 200-400 missiles for each of them and the war would be over in a month.

What's left of Putin's forces will head home looking like Napoleon's retreat from Moscow.

Look at what they've been able to do just with the manpads sent by the US and NATO allies.

Fortunately some of the other former Soviet Bloc nations have already donated S-300 and BUK systems to them which they are already well versed and trained on.

The Russian AF has never been able to establish Air dominance much less Air Supremacy over Ukraine.

This is and has been a "David and Goliath" fight from the start and I always tend to support "David".

good news

 
For the first time since the founding of NATO the Euro's are actually taking some reals steps and spending real money in their own defense.

They understand if Putin is allowed to take Ukraine Poland, the Baltic States and all of Western Europe will all be at risk of being invaded.
Your domino theory died in Vietnam in 1975.

Your only 47 years behind the times.

You probably drive a Chevy Vega.

It isn't a "theory", WWII proved it to be a fact as did WWI.

This isn't about Western style Democracies vs Communism, it's about Putin's desire to reestablish the old Russian Empire and gain even more ground and resources in the process.

Oh now your stuck in 1939. Damn dude you fucked up.

PS. Russia isn’t communist.

Putin’s been in power over 20 years silly boy. Now you think he suddenly wants to conquer the world. WTF you must consume enormous quantities of TV news to be so ignorant.

We are playing a very dangerous game, and placing Putin in a box doesn't bode well for a peaceful future. Are we going to rebuild Russia, too? And on our side, Biden's lack of credibility adds another dimension of uncertainty as to the outcome. At this point Kamla Harris and a new Secretary of State might be an improvement over what we have now.

So we should just cut all ties with Ukraine and let Putin have Ukraine?

(Have we found our Russian mole on the board? :p )
