, which have a range of 94 miles (150 km). The United States has rebuffed Ukraine's requests for the 185-mile (297-km) range ATACMS missile. using surplus bombs from the conflict in Afghanistan. Each would cost US$40,000
the GLSDB fired from HIMARS can be used to hit targets in crimea
The USAI funds would also be used to pay for more components of HAWK air defenses, counter drone systems, counter artillery and air surveillance radars, communications equipment, PUMA drones, and spare parts for major systems like Patriot and Bradley, one of the officials said.

Did we saw an hawk air defense system on footages in Ukraine ?

Would be good to use GPS jamming on Russian side against these guided ammunition...

Russian Shturm S takes out Ukrainian APC. We haven't seen much of this system for a while.


100mm antitank gun MT-12 'Rapier' of the DPR 132nd, hits a Ukrainian target.


Remnants of a Ukrainian Mi-8 that was shot down. According to Russian reports it was transporting ammunition.


Ukrainian group and vehicles got hit by Russian artillery after they were shadowed by a Russian drone.


Ka-52 hits a target in Ugledar, plus a TOS gets ugly on Ugledar.

"Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov stated in a January 31 interview with Sky News that Russian forces are preparing for a "maximum escalation" in Ukraine within the next two to three months and may do so as soon as the next two to three weeks to coincide with the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[20] Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Head Kyrylo Budanov stated in a January 31 interview with the Washington Post that Russian forces will focus on occupying a larger area of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, supporting ISW’s assessment that Russian forces appear to be preparing for an imminent offensive in eastern Ukraine, particularly in Luhansk Oblast.[21] Budanov stated that there are currently 326,000 Russian forces fighting in Ukraine, excluding the roughly 150,000 mobilized personnel still in training grounds that Russian forces have reportedly not yet committed to hostilities.[22] The Russian military will likely continue to accumulate conventional forces in Luhansk Oblast and increase the deployment of remaining mobilized personnel to eastern Ukraine in support of an imminent decisive strategic effort in western Luhansk Oblast.[23]"

"A Russian milblogger published footage on January 29 reportedly of Russian tank units of the 36th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 29th Combined Arms Army of the Eastern Military District engaging Ukrainian tank units in the vicinity of Vuhledar.[51"

So my personal estimate of 300,000 men in Ukraine was not far from his claim. Eventually the Russians will add more than 200,000 additional troops to Ukraine.

Ukraine: 326,000 men (approx. 160K reservists/volunteers, 50K Russian military professional-contract cadre, 70,000 DPR/LPR and 50,000 PMC.)

Reserve army: over 200,000 men (approx. 150K reservists, XX,XXX volunteers, and perhaps another 50K-70K Russian military professional-contract cadre).

Battle of Vuhledar:

Ukrainian 72th and 68th brigades vs. elements of 40th and 155th Naval infantry brigade, elements of 36th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade, plus DPR elements.

Personally, I find that ISW's coverage of the war has been among the worst. I don't trust a word they say unless it is verified from other sources. I remember even Def Mon (one of the most anti-Russian accounts who "maps" the conflict) chastised them for marking one of the islands in the Dnieper as "Ukrainian captured" just because an Ukrainian squad planted a flag there (before quickly retreating to their own side of the Dnieper). With all of the misses they had, and the way they uncritically believe all Ukrainian claims, I can't take them seriously whatsoever.

Anyway, something I saw today.

The GLSDB would be a significant upgrade to Ukraine's formidable HIMARS platforms which have been used with deadly precision and effects thank to NATO ISR. The brochure for this munition can be found on Saab's website.

And, all the same, Ukraine uses GPS-guided weapons.

You just assume and invent an scenario where there must be GPS jammer coverage all along the front line 24/7 when we don't even know how such systems operate, limitations and rules of employments in ways that doesn't affect Russian units as well.

Also, Excalibur and GLMRS have Inertial Guidance so GPS jamming is not a guaranteed stop of their use. But hey, you just rather strawman and debunk your own strawman.
