  1. Most Russian ammo/fuel arrive s.Ukraine via Kerch Bridge, if remove 1 span no logistics/no fighting. WH claim 300km himars, can strike russia. Simple IT fix – overlay digital map on fire ctl app, so users can't type gps coords in Russia / return error msg. Similar to what I do, for sending out junk mail.

  2. Ukraine forces could make good use of the following in quantities of up to 15,000 each; M32'S, Carl Gustav MK4's, Aa12's, Combat guard vehicles (250 pieces), 105 mm cannons mounted on Boxer vehicles, semi automatic 155 mm truck mounted artillery (200 pieces), 40mm turret mounted grenade launchers.

  3. The fact that HIMARS was invented in the 90s and is still a successful weapon against Russia really goes to show how weak the Russian military actually is and any country that relys on mostly Russian weapon systems.
