Wow just Wow
Seems like Russia just lost weeks of ammo
they are not enjoying the heavy artillery they previously did and this is why
Let me remind you that WW2 happend 80 years ago. I couldnt care less about the russian WW2 narrative. But I know this, Russia bombed and occupied a danish island in the baltic sea and refused to leave until 1947. The local population had nothing positive to tell about the russians. Nothing but drunk rapists and uneducated peasants in a uniform. Must be the same soldiers occupying Ukraine.
Btw, I do speak german and no russian.

So 12 HIMARS are going to hold back the entire Russian army, after Russia uses their air force to hunt and destroy the HIMARS.
Europe needs tens of thousands of tanks, artillery, IFV, more air power, more air defense, more anti-tank, more nukes.
The US solution to each problem: sell more HIMARS. As in sell/send dozens of HIMARS to defend Europe. Nobody sees a problem with this.
Just beating a strawman, arent you? Why arent we allowed to question those russian claims? They provide no evidence but exaggerated numbers.

This is the level of their delusion. A couple of magic mlrs which both China and Russia produces is going to destroy the invasion force. And they really believes whatever bullshit is fed to them by their 'trustwirthy' media. From Ghost of Kiev to Zelensky the clown.

No I am getting to the point of European governments wasting money of something that can be taken out by one single aircraft.
After you have air supremacy, which Moscow seems to not care about at this moment, you can do this:
en.wikipedia.org
Which means you need to out swarm the air attack with massive number of viable targets, protected by air defenses. Meaning if you lose 1000 tanks or artillery, you have massive back-up despite SU-25s and other strike and attack from the air. Russia is arguably the largest land army on the globe. 12 HIMARS are not going to hold back a full scale invasion of Europe.
news.yahoo.com
Putin laughs every time a European nation buys HIMARS. If the EU cannot defend Europe, then going after buying HIMARS is a waste of money for nations such as the Baltic states. You need asymmetric warfare - thousands of inexpensive towed artillery for the Baltic states, not 12 sitting targets that Iran could hit blindfolded.

'The EU cannot defend Europe': NATO chief
"More than 90 percent of the people in the European Union, they live in a NATO country. But only 20 percent of NATO's defence spending comes from NATO EU members," Stoltenberg said.'The EU cannot defend Europe': NATO chief
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned Thursday that Europe's defence depends on close transatlantic bonds and not on a quest for the continent's strategic autonomy.

Well, atleast we do have something resembling a trustworthy media, unlike the statements from autocracies and unknown tweets you guys cheer.

Having some form of media does not reduce the amount of delusional cheerleaders. You don't need a genius to teach you common sense right. I can stop laughing at some who keep HIMARS that and HIMARS this. When CNN says M777, they go M777 this and that, then now silent. It's like the media can control the minds of these idiots, they just go along and sign the tune of the media. So when Russia is bad, they go Russia Baddddd, without understanding why Russia acted that way. Its crazy that these people sound almost like the commie fanatics of yesteryear. The same with the recent Taiwan crisis, they are just praising Pelosi stoking a war. They don't understand its the US trying to destabilise the world to retain dollar hegemony.
Russias army is designed to fight inside Russia. Its a big pile a junk a few kilometers from the russian railnet.No I am getting to the point of European governments wasting money of something that can be taken out by one single aircraft.

IF Russia is all what you believe, they wouldve ended this war a long time ago. Why is it Ukraine is able to stall the russian invasion with trenches and man portable anti armor and manpads?
And a HIMARS system is exactly not a sitting duck, which is why they are such a succes for the ukrainians.

An image is better that a 1000 words..
I will bet most people here get their information from anything else but regular media. They are days behind the situation in Ukraine.
The weapon systems provided are a gamechanger in their own right.
NLAWs, Javelin and other anti armor weapons, and manpads, made an impact and forced Russia to change its objectives. Long range artillery evened the odds somehow during the artillery battles that followed, and the HIMARS, M270 and MARS are giving the ukrainians a small edge combined with US intel.
Like it or not, russian forces are facing hard times when in the scope of those long range missiles.
Atleast get your facts straight. The first volunteers were the Schalburg Corps, primarily former volunteers fighting alongside Finland against USSR.
The Schalborg Corps (Free Corps Denmark) of 6000 went to the eastern front and later the Balkans, Estonia, Latvia and Berlin as a regiment under Nordland.
And exactly what does those pictures of 0,1% of the danish population tell you?
Here they are, marching under police escort in 1942 before leaving for Germany
