Ukrainian Troops Get Morale Boost As M777 Howitzers Make An Impact

The Ukrainian military has started to actively use the 155-millimeter howitzer M777, which the United States handed over to Ukraine. The long-range artillery has already made an impact during the exchange of fire with Russian forces in eastern Ukraine. RFE/RL's correspondent Maryan Kushnir visited Ukrainian frontline positions on June 6 and talked to soldiers fighting Russian troops in the Donetsk region.

They won't. They've been losing ground since the Russians reformed their strategies to their old way of mass artillery barrages to weaken and demoralize before the troops roll in. Theyve already lost. It'd be better to save the remaining men of multiple generations as opposed to eradicating multiple generations of Ukrainian men. But I love humanity, you clearly just hate Russia and don't care how many Ukrainians are sent to an early grave. Ukraines not even a real country. Soviets molded it from multiple other countries. It never had a chance long term.

You know that Zelensky imprisoned his main political opponent, banned all opposition parties and nationalized all news media in to state media. Civilians that speak out against the government are imprisoned for 15 years. It is the furthest thing from a democracy, born from an armed takeover by western Ukrainian extremists like right sector and svoboda and it was orchestrated by Victoria Nuland and her neocon pals.

Maybe not directly related, but it reminds me of something that's bothered me for a while. There's been a lot of condescension toward Ukraine from a lot of "experts" commenting on the war. See how many still seem to refuse to acknowledge that Ukraine could actually win, no matter how well they do. I think that also explains some of the reluctance to send more aid more quickly. See the delusional calls from the likes of Kissinger for Ukraine to achieve peace by surrendering some of their territory to Putin (as if Putin could be trusted to keep any treaty negotiated). Ukraine isn't supposed to actually win. Everyone expected it to be quickly subjugated and then drain Russia in a long insurgency. But actually winning a conventional war with Russia? Unthinkable. Part of it may be a justifiable fear of escalation with Russia, and some of it may just be self-interest, but I think a good bit of it is ultimately pride. Russia was supposed to be America's arch enemy, a peer opponent. The idea that a smaller country like Ukraine could seriously challenge, maybe even beat them, wounds the pride of many American "experts", so they can't admit that they so underestimated Ukraine (and overestimated Russia).

[@hamletksquid2702]

I love the Hogs as much as anyone, but without air supremacy and given the number of MANPADS and other SAM systems on the Russian side, they'd be slaughtered in Ukraine right now. The Ukrainians also don't have people trained in maintaining their engines, electronics, or weapons, or the equipment and infrastructure to operate Western jets. The actual airplanes are one part of a system. It takes hundreds of highly-trained people and literally tons of specialized equipment to make them work.

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

@Uncle Sam Physically, most Soviet era weapons systems are very good, very powerful; they're just not very modern or accurate. As a retired US Col. once put it, if he was sent to an unknown Alien planet on a one-way trip and he could only choose the M16/M4 or the AK-47, he'd choose the latter. As he said it, the AK-47 isn't as accurate or refined; but its simplicity, reliability, and durability means you could depend on it for longer. Russia's current top end weapons systems also are a corollary of their AK-47. A retired Russian commander once gave a lecture to Russian officers and he said in a conventional war against the US, he thought the US could take out most Russian long range systems within days, because from his view, operating on glimpses he was able to glean through Russian intel, the US's long range precision weapons were just much more reliable, so much better. Again, that's the view of a retired Russian commander who spent his entire adult life coming up with ways to effectively counter the US and Western allies, in weapons technologies.
