Doesn't look at this time like Russia has a way to stop the US Howitzers

[WizardofSoda]

In the last few days the first US Howitzers have made it to combat. And it seems like the Russian army is just getting decimated. Like front lines that haven't changed much in weeks and weeks, and then huge Russian losses and the Russian army outright fleeing or retreating.

With cheap commercial drones for spotting and getting coordinates. And then the US Howitzers and the US or allies might have provided the Excalibur guided shells.. these Excalibur Shells they have fins and computers inside, and cost $112,000 each.. and they can glide with huge range and then hit with high accuracy.

Say the Ukrainians have their normal artillery and other equipment, and thousands of infantry soldiers with their usual equipment. And then even one US Howitzer with the Excalibur shells comes in, then its game over it seems for the Russians, unless they can somehow take out the Howitzer.

Because what do you do against artillery that has a monster range advantage and hits with high accuracy with computer guidance.

they have the tech to just completely erase ukraine from the face of the map. that shit going on isnt even real shit, its dumb little games for normies tiny minds to be encaptured by.

you would know if real shit was going down because countries would be spraying toxic gas over cities and nuking

You know that, most of the Trash that NATO imports into Ukraine, get's blown up in Ukraine:
Case in point: https://tass.com/defense/1442091

The main reason why Russia is taking its time, is because since 2015, the line of contact between Ukraine and the Separatist forces have been turned into a series of fortified defenses, Russia is just blasting them before they make massive gains. .

Good point about all the fortified defenses in series from all the fighting that has gone on there between the Separatists and the Ukraine army since 2015 which is a long time.

Thing for me is its only been a few days since the first US Howitzers made it to the front lines. And there has been a couple devastating Russian losses in those last few days, while things seemed pretty stable in the past several weeks before this, and even with the Russians advancing slowly.

Think about it this way. The Ukraine army gets a couple US Howitzers that they roll up to a front line area that was stable before. Then the cheap commercial observation drones they spot the Russian positions. So the US Howitzers just hit those positions one by one until they are all dead, which can happen in minutes as these things fire fast.

What does the Russian army do at that point. Its either they have something that can hit the US Howitzers or they have to retreat.

Yes but where are the stats on damage Russia has done to Ukraine. I'm sure they have hit many targets they wanted and killed many enemy combatants and civilians alike with similar artillery strikes...no?

Since Russia pulled out of the North of Ukraine, and concentrated on the SE area, and with the LPR and DPR armies fighting with them. I think that was at least 4 weeks ago. And then over those weeks it appeared to me like the Russians were winning big time.

The Russians weren't advancing in that time, they were massively outgunning the Ukrainians. So the Russians would overwhelm with artillery a defensive position where a bunch of Ukrainian were. Then sometimes with overwhelming number the Russians would come in with infantry and kill remaining Ukrainians while taking low losses themselves. And some high and unsustainable number of Ukrainians and Ukrainian military equipment was getting blown up from all that artillery.

Then the Russians were very smart instead of charging forward more, the Russian army would withdraw back to its heavily fortified positions. Where then the Ukrainians were retaking those villages, towns.. but then the same thing happening again. The only place the Ukrainians were doing not bad was where they had really big fortifications set up, otherwise in the temporary type shitty positions they were getting wasted.

And Ukraines morale was falling and Ukraine was screaming for long range weapons from NATO. The Ukrainians adapted imo somewhat they decided not to retake these villages and towns and fall back to bigger fortifications and build more bigger fortifications. Then I believe that was where the Russians were slowly advancing and then setting up heavy fortifications at the next stop. But my feeling is it seems all of a sudden in the last few days the Russians are retreating and outright fleeing in some places, and taking heavy duty losses. Which seems awfully coincidental with the first US Howitzers making it to the frontlines in the last few days.


The Ukraine army has been advancing a long ways around the Kharkiv area over the last few days. There must have been a lot of casualties on both sides in those infantry advances.
