        You know, I looked carefully at the map of the Donetsk region, there are settlements in the form of villages like a fool's shag, from each other from a kilometer to 2-3 and they are all strongholds of defense, there is no defense in open areas. For what purposes do you intend to use these funds. Not even with the whole cassette, but with a couple of shells from them, the village will be wiped off the face of the earth along with the inhabitants. I repeat in the field to organize a strong point, with all their desire they will not be able to get there, the tank will not pass, as they say, only by helicopter you can fly, so that there is not and I think we will not have targets for this weapon there.
        PS: this is exactly the density of small n.p. does not allow the forces of the L\DPR to move quickly. It seems that the number of released people is huge and there is no progress, after looking at the map I understood the reason.

        You just want fire and smoke. You want pictures. But the range of weapons of destruction is much wider than the systems you indicated, and officers on the ground, and not on sofas, decide what and where to use. Trust them.
        Near Kiev, judging by the video, the amount of use of Krasnopolye has sharply increased, which is safer for the population sitting in the basements.

      Over the past day, the Russian Armed Forces delivered several strikes with long-range precision weapons

      I can not vouch for reliability
      A number of American sources published official data from the US Department of Defense on the number of launches by the Russian side of cruise and ballistic missiles of all types and types of deployment during a special military operation in Ukraine from February 24 to March 11, 2022. According to these data, by the end of March 11, about 810 launches had been made.

      American data on the number of launches by day looks like this:

      February 24 ~160
      February 25 ~40
      February 26 ~50
      February 27 ~70
      February 28 ~60
      March 1 ~20
      March 2 ~50
      March 3 ~30
      March 4 ~20
      March 7 (and apparently also March 5 and 6, for which there are no separate data) ~125
      March 8 ~45
      March 9 ~40
      March 10 ~65
      March 11 ~35

        And yet, there is still a lot of work to be done.
        MOSCOW, March 12 - RIA Novosti. The armed forces of the Russian Federation, as part of a military special operation, destroyed almost 3500 military installations of Ukraine, said the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Major General Igor Konashenkov.
        "In total, 3491 military infrastructure facilities of Ukraine were disabled during the operation. Destroyed: 123 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1127 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 115 multiple launch rocket systems, 423 field artillery guns and mortars, 934 units of special military vehicles," - said the general.

        State of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for 2022

        What is the army of Ukraine in 2021? According to the Global Firepower rating, at the beginning of 2021, the armed forces of Ukraine occupy the 25th place in the world, located between Thailand and Vietnam. The budget of the armed forces has been increasing annually since the beginning of the conflict in the east of the country. In 2017 it was $2,7 billion, in 2019 it was $5,2 billion, and for 2021 it was approved at $9.5 billion. However, by the standards of most developed European countries, this budget is still quite small.
        Number. At the beginning of 2021, there were 260 thousand people in the Ukrainian Armed Forces: 140 thousand conscripts and 120 thousand contract soldiers. At the same time, another 900 are in reserve, of which 500 have ATO experience.

        Ground troops
        The ground forces of Ukraine number 170 thousand + strength: air. landing., landing. assault, airmobile, marines and special forces. operations. They have 2567 tanks at their disposal. But only 870 vehicles are combat-ready. These are T-64 tanks and some T-72s.
        1300 infantry fighting vehicles. Among them are 890 BMP-2s and about 200 BMP-1s. About 1000 armored personnel carriers and BRDM: BTR-60, BTR-70, BTR-80 and 400 BRDM-2. 300 MLRS - "Grad", "Smerch" and "Hurricane". About 600 self-propelled guns: mainly "Carnations" and "Acacias". About 1000 units of towed artillery, which is represented by Soviet models.

        http://worldcrisis.ru/crisis/4018063

        In total, at the beginning of the conflict, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had 3170 tanks and other armored combat vehicles (at the moment, 1127 tanks and other armored combat vehicles have been destroyed), 300 MLRS - Grad, Smerch, and Uragan (at the moment, 115 multiple launch rocket systems have been destroyed fire), about 600 self-propelled guns: mainly "Carnations" and "Acacia" and about 1000 units of towed artillery, which in total gives 1600 field artillery guns and mortars (423 field artillery guns and mortars have been destroyed at the moment).

          And if you think about it?
          The American report indicates the TOTAL number of all types of missiles used.
          Do you understand?
          All types of ballistic and cruise missiles.
          And they kept their statistics mainly in the locational way by AWACS aircraft, as well as with the help of satellites. And the list is presented without missile types.
          And now we are looking at HOW MUCH we have destroyed radars, command posts, air defense systems ... for now, only this.
          After all, they did not work on them with free-falling bombs. And they used ROCKETS "air = surface". Such as X-31, X59, maybe even X-35 (at least they were definitely used in Syria). Multiply the number of radars and air defense systems by 1,5 - 2 (after all, more often for fidelity on priority targets they work out with two missiles) and see how much we got. After that, we estimate from memory the number of strikes on headquarters, airfields, warehouses, oil depots ...
          Everything seems to fit.
          And yet - those CDs that we saw on YouTube, filmed by local residents, are not always "Caliber". Most often, these are the CR of the Iskander-M complexes - the same as the Caliber, only its radius is smaller. But a radius of 500 km. it’s enough with your head if you let them in from the border from in / on deep into the territory.
          And X-101 missiles were also noticed ... well, this is already to gain experience in practical launches by Long-Range Aviation.

          Free-falling bombs would have been an order of magnitude cheaper, but air defense was not suppressed in the early days. Yes, and it could not be suppressed, because the Military Air Defense systems did not illuminate themselves in the early days, and even later they preferred to act from ambushes, receiving target designation from American AWACS aircraft, and turning on only to capture the target and launch. And never (!) from standby.
          And the object air defense systems were all identified and not destroyed. The same S-300s curtailed the blood of our aviation for a long time.

          The war by the Americans on the territory of the former Ukraine is being conducted very competently, with very good external support. With coverage of the entire air situation and its transfer to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Therefore, attempts to bomb with conventional bombs led to unjustified losses of our aviation and combat pilots. The factor of external illumination of the situation and target designation for Ukrainian air defense was underestimated.
          But having received aviation losses (and this can be seen from the statistics), the number of CR and BR used was increased.

          And of course the desire to protect the civilian population. Even with limited aviation activity (and it is quite active), it was possible to level fortified areas / cities with artillery and MLRS into rubble with target designation from UAVs. And losses would be minimal.
          But this is OUR LAND.
          And these are our people ... no matter how their brains are crippled ...
          And American instructors generally do not care about the population. The higher the losses, the more interesting ...
          After all, their dream came true and the Russians are killing Russians.

          But in Europe and Western Ukraine, the RF Armed Forces will no longer be so cautious and selective.
          Everything will be according to the laws of war.

          And in general, it would be nice to retaliate for the death of Russian people in Ukraine, asymmetrically hit the United States in another part of the world. Though in the same Syria. Having mixed with sand and clay their bases and personnel.
          They HAVE TO RESPOND for the arranged Sabbath in / in Ukraine, which is already more than 8 years old, and which is now ending in SUCH a bloody mess.
          And they DEFINITELY respond.

              Of course, electronic warfare can jam the frequency channels of US AWACS systems, but I don’t know whether these means are used against US reconnaissance aircraft, until recently, apparently not, they were not used.
              But the suppression of air defense systems of the former Ukraine is systematic and assertive, active air defense systems are knocked out, identifying them as decoys by imitators and then hit by Kh-31 anti-radar missiles. Gradually, the capabilities of the enemy's active air defense systems are falling, and MANPADS are effective only against low-altitude targets - helicopters, attack aircraft.
              The suppression of the radio frequency channels of the US aviation can provoke a conflict with the US Armed Forces, which they are trying to avoid so far.

          Eight years ago, we were not ready, neither in training, nor in supplies, nor in weapons. The decisive phase of this war must be completed before the appearance of greenery, otherwise then these "forest brothers" can be fished out before winter. And the remaining nuclear power plants must be taken, and the laboratories in Khorkovo, Kukuev, etc. And the peaceful people must be saved ... All these are puzzles that the General Staff is trying to put together, but something is not going as fast as we would like, there is no support from the population, except for the LDNR, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not surrender, the Nazis are generally like cornered rats - in an attempt to fall into the ground, dissolve in the air, destroy everything around, surrounded by civilians ... The worst thing that we did not take into account, it seems to me, is that we will be resist Russian soldiers, gods of war with inverted brains, who also have colossal support with all the resources from the West ...

          When the Ukrainians themselves restore the monuments to Nikolai Kuznetsov in Lvov and Rivne, and also return his name to the streets. This is the meaning of this, in your words "senseless" war. This is a war with Ukrainian Nazism, which already in 1992 destroyed the monuments to N.I. Kuznetsov, the most outstanding fighter against fascism, according to Frederic Joliot Curie.

          For Krakow alone, logs should lick the memory of Kuznetsov. And to their serfs, when trying to scold such a bream, to weigh it down, so that it would be scary by the neck, but ... Logs - in line !!!

And as everyone said, it doesn’t matter, we will immediately smash the calibers of the bases of these bayraktars with calibers.

            Any, but not really. In 1999, before starting the bombing of Yugoslavia, the United States made sure that there were no S-300 systems on the territory. Many military experts then said that if Russia had delivered these complexes to Yugoslavia, NATO, led by the United States, would not have dared to send their aircraft there. There might not have been a war. However, it was not necessary to expect anything else, from Yeltsin and the "family".

The Russian Federation is not Kiribati, which can be poisoned by sanctions. They relish sanctions against the oligarchs. They do not understand that after their repeated attempts to become "their own" - investments in the economy, charity - to show them a place in the "cock's corner" means to give them to understand that their home and their money is Russia.

I see that it can take the whole of March and April.
      if so, then in the most favorable scenario, by May we will have a situation: the eastern part is under our control. Kyiv is a besieged fortress. (Dnepr, Nikolaev, Odessa, Kharkov are ours, this is the most favorable option), and the west, in which there will be no military infrastructure, but in which there will be 50-100 thousand troops armed to the teeth and entrenched to the utmost.

      You know what, I'm a normal patriot of my country. But as a patriot, I see serious shortcomings that cannot be hushed up. Let me remind you once again how we have a discussion here about these bayraktars and they said that our electronic warfare system will not even let them take off, that our caliber missiles will cover their bases and that this is generally garbage against our army.
      It turned out what happened. The Ministry of Defense constantly reports on downed bayraktars, but they all do not end and do not end. And they continue to bombard our troops.
      Now, arguments have come into play that we, because of peacefulness, cannot destroy drones.
      Gentlemen, comrades, and in general, no one should fly over the territory of Ukraine on the 15th day of the military operation. In addition to the Russian VKS. No one should move on the roads, except for the Russian armed forces.
      At least that's how everyone present here, well, at least most of them, talked about a hypothetical conflict with Ukraine.
      Therefore, let's just conclude that drones are a serious threat that should not be underestimated.
      And secondly, the Ukrainian armed forces do not have loitering ammunition. Which is very pleasing because I don’t understand how ours would fight with them.

      The longer the special operation goes on, the more likely it is that foreign countries will take part in the war.

      Western countries see that the advance on Kyiv is slow, they perceive this as a weakness of the RF Armed Forces, so they decide on new sanctions, the supply of weapons, and plans to send foreign troops.

      The opinion of Europeans slipped on the Internet that they would not mind if Russia seized Kyiv in a couple of days and changed the government, and the Europeans do not agree to a long war - they will fight it with all their might.
