Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

Transport would be another issue since main roads are checked by Ukr fpv drone teams and transport trucks are targeted. Fortifications can be built north closer to Kursk nuclear plant and soldiers can initially be transferred there first. Also building further fortified positions. From there necessary amount of soldiers can use motorbikes-quad atvs to reach necessary zones south. If ukraine didnt bring the artillery yet tracked apcs can also be used over terrain to transfer soldiers instead of roads but it seems Ukr gets everything for this assault gamble like they can have long range nlos atgms.

Another item that can be utilized is R37M a2a missile. It can be converted to an air to ground weapon with a software upgrade in my opinion. It has about 400km range mach 4 and much smaller than Iskander and also much cheaper. It can be used to strike less fortified points inside Kiev when fired from Kursk like Radar sites. Jamming sites. Patriots etc. The usage of all air to ground should consider Ukr F16s cued by ground radar since they dont have awacs. Su35s fly low and then climb high to release the missiles and then dive down again so F16 have very little time to detect and strike back the Russian fighters. Ukraine possibly has gps-glonass jammers in Kiev so missiles should use accurate ins. Seeker might need to be modified to anti radar or image recognition as well. Or a tungsten bullet warhead like atacms can suffice on R37 with INS only as guidance to take out radar sites and vehicles. No direct hit is necessary in that option

Countries close to Russia can send help officially or unofficially. This is a historic opportunity to secure a bond with Russia. Kursk also has a historical meaning for a lot of people who witnessed ww2. This type of help would create a long term strong bond irrespective of any leader or government.

The trap here is tricking Russia to use tactical nuclear weapons. A high portion of the Russian forces are in the special military operation zone. Nato can start attacking Russian forces with high number of cruise missiles over Ukraine airspace and Ukr can claim it is their missiles. Even if Russia will then possibly make a large scale nuclear attack on Ukraine , the conventional elements of Russian military will take a significant and long term damage. After a large scale nuclear attack Usa can make nuclear attacks to other countries as well with their submarines nearby. So tactical nukes seem to be a solution for Russia at first look but the problems that it creates are much higher for everyone. Allied countries support to Russia would also remove the nuclear possibility.

Footage has been published of a Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet-52" striking a Ukrainian armored vehicle "Kozak-2" in the Sudzhansky district of the Kursk region of Russia. The armored vehicle "Kozak 2M.1" was introduced in 2016 and can have small arms or a 40-mm automatic grenade launcher UAG-40. There were two drone attacks in total, the first strike on the car on the road, after the car went off the road, the second strike destroyed the armored vehicle "Kozak-2".
