Во врска со „дозволата“ за гаѓање руски цели длабоко во РФ.
There’s a lot of things to say about this development.
Firstly: ATACMS have already disappeared from the battlefield, the last usage being recorded something like months ago.
Second: HIMARS have already been used all over Kursk, including on a Russian column some months ago. Both regular HIMARS missiles and ATACMS are fired from the same truck—so this new ‘authorization’ strikes as a little strange.
Third: HIMARS, M270s and German Mars II variants have all been greatly attrited during the Kursk excursion of the past three months to the point that it’s questionable how many units Ukraine even has remaining. It may be a few but not enough to conduct big simultaneous volleys of ATACMS, which—unlike regular HIMARS missiles—can only be fired one at a time per truck.
The announcement comes just as ATACMS stocks have been depleted, with several articles over the past month or so noting this. The same goes for Storm Shadow/Scalp:
Автоматски споено мислење:
На крај сега појасни изгледаат офанзивните напори во Курск регионот, каде последниве денови Русите според некои извори имаат солидни загуби пред се во техника и оклоп - ама жестината на офанзивата не запира. Имаат јасна намера да стават крај на тој продор таму на руска територија. Тоа ќе значи една значајна карта помалку, на некои идни преговори (за капитулација)... Од сето видено по се изгледа озбилно се спрема мировен процес, и појасни се и ескалациите од сегашната гарнитура/администрација на САД.
But the NYT article reveals the other real reason for the desperate escalatory behavior: The Ukrainians hope that they would be able to trade any Russian territory they hold in Kursk for Ukrainian territory held by Russia in any future negotiations.If the Russian assault on Ukrainian forces in Kursk succeeds, Kyiv could end up having little to no Russian territory to offer Moscow in a trade.
Автоматски споено мислење:
The new strikes authorization is presumably meant to tide Ukrainian societal morale over for a few months, with perhaps some kind of flashy ‘hit’ somewhere, that will be oversold as “devastating” to Russia, but it’s questionable how much mileage they can get even out of that anymore.
Remember: for the Storm Shadows to be fired “deep” into Russian territory, the F-16s—or whatever platform carrying them—would have to get almost right up to the Russian border, and risk almost certain shoot down by Russian patrol craft, long range AD, etc. The same goes for ATACMS—everyone just assumes it can hit max distance into Voronezh, but to do that the ATACMS would have to be right on the border. They learned the hard way what happens when they try that, as a slew of HIMARS trucks were destroyed not far from the border in the Kursk fiasco.
With stockpiles for both ATACMS, Storm Shadows, and even future-potential Taurus missiles scraping the bottom of the barrel, it’s not expected they could make any real mark.
Situation on Kursk front:

- At Sudzhansky district Ukrainian Army managed to recapture most of Plekhovo & part of the forest area east of this locality.
