Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] In Washington, after the voyage of congressmen to Kyiv, they said that the United States should supply only 25-30 HIMARS MLRS (and identical systems from other countries) to Ukraine. That is, to the declared 20, of which 16 were officially transferred (and of which, according to the statement of the RF Ministry of Defense, 4 + 1, which was allegedly sold, but which was never shown), should be added another 5-10 pieces.
It is important to understand that in addition to issues related to the desire to intensify strikes against warehouses and command posts of the RF Armed Forces, these deliveries also hide a rather banal goal - to replenish the general fleet of heavy MLRS, which the RF Armed Forces have fairly thinned out by destroying a significant number of Hurricanes, etc. . systems. In addition, due to intensive use, there is a known problem with the replenishment of ammunition for such systems. For Western heavy MLRS, there is no problem with BC, because deliveries, despite the known percentage of the RF Armed Forces destroyed by missile strikes, can go on for a long time.
Unlike Europe, in the United States, the stocks of missiles and shells are as voluminous as in the Russian Federation, which is why they are being pledged for a long war, because from a resource point of view they can afford it (unlike Europe). The main thing is that Ukrainian cannon fodder stably fertilizes the fields of the left bank and maintains the conflict at a level convenient for the United States without freezing and dumping it into a direct conflict between the United States and Russia. This, in fact, is the essence of the rather unsophisticated American strategy.
PS. At the front today without significant progress, so tomorrow evening there will be a summary for 2 days. Well, yes, in Ukraine today they crookedly admitted that they messed up with the "environment of Vysokopolye". Big losses + zero result.
