[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Russia now has fewer tanks than Ukraine.

Russia started with 3400 tanks, now has 1400.  Ukraine started with 987, now has 1500.

Though Russia does still have an advantage where it comes to artillery.   That is where HIMARS, Storm Shadows, ATACMS and other things will hopefully help them.[/quote]

True the Russia likely still has an artillery quantity advantage but Ukraine has a huge advantage in guided artillery. Guided artillery is generally one shot hits. Russian unguided artillery makes a lot of holes in the ground to get a hit or requires many shots to level an entire area. Ukraine is now winning in artillery as well.[/quote]

Yes. And combined with HIMARS and Storm Shadows they are doing a very good job of hitting ammo dumps, command and control, and troop concentrations well behind the lines.

The problem is that Ukrainians have to clear every trench. And that is brutal fighting that invariably leads to high casualties. The cluster munitions will definitely help with that. Can't get there soon enough. The remaining problem is mines, both anti-tank and anti-personnel. That's what's making it such a grind. The Russians have had a year to mine every approach to their positions. Unless there's a collapse in Moscow, it's going to be a terrible slog to get the Russians out.

If you ever wonder why the US spends a gazillion dollars on air power, that's why. American troops will never have to fight in a trench. Air superiority changes everything. Hopefully the F-16's will make a difference later this year.    [/quote]

Luckily, our great nation is showing Ukraine some love, in the decision to send them cluster munitions.

These little “good will gestures” will rain down by the millions, like gifts from heaven, on the poor Mobiks miserably huddled in their muddy trenches, put them out of their misery, and ease their passage on to the next life.

US cluster munitions: when you care enough to send the very best.[/quote]

Lol Billy Graham has a job for you. You hit all the right notes.[/quote]
