May be shorter range other than 300km system could transfer to Ukraine, any long range heavy artillery will help to certain degree. 

Inflation is soaring across Europe. 

The West is becoming a disaster, spending hundreds of billions of tax dollars, all because they want to prevent Russia from controlling pieces of a shit hole. 

Inflation came in at 8.1% for the month, according to preliminary figures from Europe's statistics office Tuesday, up from April's record high of 7.4% and higher than expectations of 7.8%.

The sky is falling!!   the FCKN SKY IS FALLING!!!!

European countries are starting to get sick of being bullied by the US and forced to fight against their own interests. 

Their solution will be to build up their own armies. 

Bet? 

Germany is reactivating coal power plants 

Climate change activists remain silent because it’s for a “good cause” 

The sun will come out, tomorrow!  Bet your bottom dollar

Head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell: 

“Defense is not the competence of the European Union, but we must do more. We must increase our military budgets in a coordinated manner. And of course it won’t be easy.” 

It started with Merkel, she wanted a European army, separate from US. Do you get it or not?

European countries are starting to get sick of being bullied by Russian aggression.

Their solution will be to build up their own armies

Here we go:

GERMANY TO SPEND 19.3 BLN EUROS ON NAVAL DEVELOPMENTS, INCLUDING CORVETTE, SUBMARINE, MISSILE PURCHASES - DRAFT DOCUMENT SEEN BY REUTERS

GERMANY TO SPEND 20.7 BLN EUROS ON COMMAND AND CONTROL EQUIPMENT INCLUDING NEW IT, TACTICAL NETWORKS, RADIOS, SATELLITE COMMS - DRAFT DOCUMENT SEEN BY REUTERS

If that’s true then why don’t they just increase the amount of money they give NATO? 

True!

Ukraine will get 70km range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS) from the Biden Administration but not that 300km range Army Tactical Missile System (Army TACMS).

Again in the above article, it says "in the ongoing fight for the Donbas, where long-range massed artillery has been a decisive factor".

Ukraine will take whatever assists it can get to defend it's military forces, civilians and territory. 

Brits promised these.

 The Harpoon missile has been integrated on foreign F-16 aircraft and is presently being integrated on foreign F-15 aircraft. In 1998, an advanced upgrade to Harpoon missile, Block II, was developed.

They also have a limited range.

75 nmi (139 km), ship-launched Harpoon Block I & Block IC;[citation needed]
67 nmi (124 km), ship-launched Harpoon Block II;[3]
120 nmi (220 km), air-launched Block IC

Nexyt best thing is good enough!

Ukraine team a win a way from being in the world cup in Qatar in November.

Ukraine beat Scotland in Glasgow and faces Wales...

Upon the approval of U.S., U.K. will also send U.S.-made M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, M270 has the range of 80km (50 miles). It should help Ukrainians in the battle of Donbass in addition to High Mobility Artillery Rocket System from U.S.

Russia is losing reports Al jeezera 

The war in Ukraine has demolished the myth of Russian military might, cemented the Western alliance, bifurcated global finance and trade and devastated Ukraine’s economy.

The conflict, triggered by Russia’s full-scale invasion of its neighbour 100 days ago, has also re-taught military lessons learned decades if not centuries ago, according to experts.

“We’re realising that firepower is the basic factor determining developments on the battlefield,” said Konstantinos Grivas, a professor of geopolitics and modern weapons systems at the Hellenic Military Academy in Athens, Greece.

We’ve seen how important artillery is on both sides – nothing terribly advanced – multiple launch rocket systems from the sixties, and rockets … with long-range and high accuracy and high destructive power,” he told Al Jazeera.

Russia fell back on its superior firepower because it has lacked good strategic planning. A month into the war, it gave up attempting to deliver a knock-out blow to Ukraine.

“Russia set a broad political goal that couldn’t be achieved with military means … it was impossible with the forces deployed,” says Panayotis Gartzonikas, a former armoured division commander in the Hellenic Army and lecturer at Greece’s National Defence College.

second strategy appeared to be an encirclement of all of Ukraine’s forces in the country’s east, as it established bridgeheads at Popanska and Izyum from which to effect a pincer movement. That, too, appears to have been abandoned in favour of a direct bludgeoning of Severdonetsk, the easternmost city in Ukrainian hands, and smaller encirclements elsewhere.

Sometimes Russia has lacked tactical competence. Ukrainian forces decimated the Russian 74th Motorised Rifle Brigade last month as it attempted to cross the Siverskyi Donets river in eastern Ukraine. Russian forces were caught in transit and reportedly suffered heavy losses. There have been reports of Russian mutinies amid the incompetence.

“Russia’s conventional military threat to Europe was overestimated,” said Grivas.

Looks like it's circling the drain.

Any army officer could view this as Putin is getting kicked hard and repeatedly in the nutz.

putin plays the part of governor talk.

We all know how that ended....

Ukrainian head of the Luhansk region Serhiy Gaidai said that Russian troops were making advances only with heavy artillery, and that once Ukraine had enough Western long-range weapons, it would be able to force the Russians to retreat.*

Ukrainian military has begun training to operate the newly approved US and UK advanced long-range missile systems.   

Without artillery Russians are in retreat.

Ukrainian forces are targeting long range artillery  systems.

With the guided missiles and without heavy artillery support ground troops will be forced to retreat as they did when they tried to take the capital.
