Technically, they can pull this off with the 8 HIMARS they have (The other 4 arrived in Ukraine as per my source) they can put M777 Artillery just outside the range, use HIMARS to attack air airfield and blitz it thru with a combine arms brigade, taking the Airport will hammer Russian ability to support the defence of Kherson. You also cannot launch drone to seek out the M777, once the airfield is captured. Then you pull in M777 or Caesar or what have you, then you target the ground base target, both hard and soft. Then what left is a Manoeuvre warfare that you can move troop quickly to block the reinforcement and encircle the entire city.
Notice that the Ukrainian has been gaining ground from the coastal area in the last week or so, it's possible for them to pin the defence in Kherson with the frontal force and hammer it away with the coastal force.
The requirement for company to unconditional support the military effort bit for his new decree show you it's everything BUT going well for them.
I mean how far can you go if you are forced to support a war that wasn't happening in your own soil. People are going to ask question and on the other hand, switching to military economic will further destroy any economic activities in Russia....

Think there were only 4 in country when they claim they destroyed 2.
IIRC, the Ukrainian invite a crew from CNN another crew from British television (Don't remember which one) to report on the HIMARS
This is the report from CNN

UK MOD- "Russia is moving reserve forces from across the country and assembling them near Ukraine for future offensive operations. A large proportion of the new infantry units are probably deploying with MT-LB vehicles taken from long-term storage as their primary transport."

Is that one of you "expertise" again??
First of all, THEY HAD ATTACKED Kharkiv, and was beaten back, it was attacked on day 1 and the Ukrainian pushed them all the way back to 5 miles outside Russian Border back in May.
The problem is what Ukrainian had in the strategic crossing they hold the area that can sever the key GLOC toward the Eastern Donbas region. Which mean if the Russian wanted to keep on attacking, they will need to spread their force to protect their own supply line, meanwhile have to concentrate their force on attacking Donbas. If they push toward Kharkiv again, setting aside can that be done in a moment, that mean they will either have to stop the Donbas advance completely for months (that's how long the last attack last) which will give Ukrainian time to consolidate their line and pull in Reinforcement or they will have to thin out their protection along their Northern GLOC, which will open to counter attack, the risk is too much because you are risking the collapse of the entire Northern GLOC.
As for Airforce, it is not what you have, but how are you going to use it, first of all, a lot of their Airforce is static element, which are needed to guard the airspace toward Japan, South Korea, Poland, Finland, even if you say China will not attack Russia and Russia are allowed to pull every aircraft in operation there, you are talking about 100-200 combat aircraft can be used at anytime. Of the 1500 aircraft on paper, 300+ of those are Transport, another 200+ is trainer and other aircraft, only leave about 800-900 Fighter/Attacker aircraft, half of those are old Su-24/Su-25. Secondly, Russia do not have stealth aircraft not any combat support aircraft beside AWACS, and they are facing a peer or near peer air defence power. Which mean you are seriously risking being shot down (and 40 Russian fighter did got shot down) when you penetrate thru the Ukrainian Airspace.

U.S. Says Russia’s Prized Kerch Bridge Is A Fair Target For Ukrainian Forces
U.S. Says Russia's Prized Kerch Bridge Is A Fair Target For Ukrainian Forces
The $3.5B bridge Russia built to connect with Crimea is a major strategic and economic asset that Moscow seems very concerned with protecting.

The Russian S-300 surface-to-air missile system does have a little-known latent ability to strike land targets.
