Allowing Ukraine to fire long-range missiles at Russia will have a significant impact on the course of the SVO

39

The US and UK are discussing the real possibility of allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles (AGM-140 ATACMS and others) to strike Russian territory. Apparently, this will have a noticeable impact on the further course of the Ukrainian conflict.

It should be said that such a step is being considered by Western politicians for a long time. A convenient pretext for such an initiative is the delivery of Iranian ballistic missiles to Russia, which is being discussed by Washington. The US is acting according to its own logic: earlier, after the start of the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kharkov region, the Americans allowed the Kyiv regime to attack Russian regions with GMLRS missiles from HIMARS and M270 installations.



Apparently, after the go-ahead from the United States, Ukraine will receive similar permission from other Western allies. With a high degree of probability, strikes will be carried out on Russian territory by British Storm Shadow, French SCALP-EG and American AGM-158 JASSM – the latter may appear in Ukraine this fall.

Based on the logic of combat operations, the enemy's main targets in this case could be Russian air bases. The missiles' target will be fighters and bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces. In this regard, it is worth reminding once again about the need to build reliable shelters for aircraft.

In addition, with such strikes, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will try to deprive the Russian side of the opportunity to attack with gliding aerial bombs – they are one of the most important factors in the success of the Russian Armed Forces on the line of contact.

Based on such a scenario, Moscow will be forced to relocate combat aircraft to more distant airfields, which will affect the efficiency of their work. It will also be necessary to attract more air defense assets, leaving other important objects unprotected. All this can have a very strong impact on the further course of the special operation.

      It's just that the manufacturers of these missiles have had no accidents in production or warehouses.

        Who, after “such permissions,” is stopping the “Australian Adventists” and “Irish Houthis” from destroying everything in the West, due to “not accepting their dogmas”?

    And the Americans "will be forced" to give the Ukrainians even longer-range missiles.

          The Kremlin has a trained patience, and what can Moscow respond with? Long-range strikes on the European part of the Russian Federation could really force the Kremlin to immediate negotiations.

              The negotiations in Istanbul also did not show any bright prospects, but the guarantor felt quite good, and a year later he was even proud of this disgrace

        That's not even the point. I have a strong feeling that the Russian leadership has no plan. Wherever the curve takes us. Like Napoleon - let's get involved and then we'll see. Napoleon, with such an approach, ended his days badly.

    And it all started with Javelins... We will not be able to avoid a war with NATO, because they have put everything on the line, they have gone for broke(( Therefore, the sooner we respond to them strongly, the better it will be for everyone who still wants to live... There are thousands of NATO specialists in Ukraine, they are fighting, managing, targeting, servicing, launching... We need to respond to these countries that sent their specialists to Ukraine!! ... and we trade with them((

      And many got the impression that someone else put everything on the line and went for broke. As for NATO specialists, the information is straight from the CBP or the Main Directorate of the General Staff?! winked

      How is that possible? After all, we are told that the SVO was started as a preventive measure. If it weren't for us, they would have "treacherously and suddenly" attacked us like in 41. But here, you see, they've been whining for half a year even with the unfortunate Javelins, with permission to strike a little further and so on. How were they planning to attack?

        feel Apparently, they were preparing some special, unusual and secret attack, in which mass production by the Ukrainian and Western military-industrial complex was not launched (we are proud that in this regard everything is still going well!), there was no mobilization, etc., etc. winked

    Russia must stop feeling sorry for the "Bandera brothers and sisters"...after all, all those who support the Kyiv junta or "my hut is on the edge" are enemies of Russia. They should NOT be pitied, but destroyed!!!

      Long-range strikes will not be massive at first, the West has studied well the psychotype of decision-makers in the Kremlin, proven tactics from small to large will be applied.

        There is no clear answer here, but you are most likely right: if the West does strike, it will be limited in the scale of our country, but very strong and visible in its intensity in terms of the destruction and damage of limited targets/groups...

    The Anglo-Saxons, as before, have prepared another war in Europe. If they are not sobered up now, there will be a third world war. They can be sobered up by striking their aircraft carrier or Alaska. Until they themselves suffer on their own territory, they will not understand anything. The hegemon has bitten the bit. Stop being afraid of them! The Americans will not start a world war, they love themselves too much.

    Everything was heading this way, and no matter how "angrily" the Kremlin occupants raised their eyebrows and puffed out their cheeks, NATO will not be intimidated by this, you just have to rewind to 2022, supplies for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (dry rations, tobacco, first aid kits), and now? And the longer the SVO continues, so soon there will be a resettlement to the Urals, either to fight or to make peace, the second is the worst option!

    Nothing will happen. Read the official releases. Ukrainian drones are like meteorites - they only reach the ground as fragments. The damage is purely moral. The same will happen with missiles. The maximum that such a fragment will hit is a chemical industry worker - the next one will not click his beak.

    nothing will change with the current Kremlin leadership, the one who strikes first has simply retreated into a corner and is trying not to show himself unnecessarily, his main goal is to wait for negotiations, and then as usual - "we were deceived again"

    "Hero"-provocateur, there is a question: what if they are not afraid (after all, there are risky guys among them, and the US armed forces are not weak at all, and our successes in the SVO are very specific), what will happen then? winked

    And in our basement of a five-story building, our "caring and prudent" authorities posted a notice that this is now our bomb shelter!
    That's their entire answer to Western fascists and Banderites! Another hundred and first red line!
    And this is in the third year of the “denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine”!
    Everything is going well for them, according to plan, in the destruction of Russians. And for years now they have been bringing in chureks en masse, giving them citizenship, now even with their families!
