The backup plan is to use more artillery from Iran, north korea and China.
Russia’s “successful” wars have always depended on a massive barrage of indiscriminate artillery while having infantry advance inch by inch.
Just hope it runs out reaaaaal soon

>**U.S. has a stockpile of over 5 million cluster munitions, these weapons are expected to go a long ways towards alleviating Ukraine’s ammunition concerns.**
**^^^** This. I think 5-million would do it for clearing those trenches. Thanks my country!
“U.S. intelligence does not believe Russia is purchasing bulk quantities of the ammunition from North Korea for a simple reason: quality, or a lack thereof.”
There is hardly a worse burn than being too low quality even for Russia.
Ukraine’s is getting a remarkable variety of heavy cannons and I’m all here for it.
Ukraine really needs air power now to support the battlefield lets get it done
Is the cluster ammo good against artillery or vehicles? Or its only purpose is against personnel/trenches?
This isn’t, strictly speaking, true.
It’s just that the alternative is generally considered unthinkable.
russia doesn’t have a plan* I fixed it, you’re welcome
They have about 70-80 days worth of artillery at the current rate of loss. Once they are forced to commit the helicopters to replace the artillery cover their war effort will collapse fast. Pilots are hard to replace and they don’t have an easy path to getting more at this point.
well, that was a really encouraging read.
Yeah I mean the artillery kind of was the backup plan.
It was supposed to be air power, then it was supposed to be paratroops, then it was supposed to be tank shock. Not even Russia, as derelict as they have been at planning, actually planned on World War One-ing it. But here they are.
Black market claymores strapped to their chests, half shot of moldy potato vodka and a gun to their head. This is how I see the last rush of the mobiks happening.
This change to employing principally towed artillery neatly explains why Muscovite losses spiked from 200/month to 600/month at the start of May.
Muscovy is going to be completely fucked if they don’t agree to withdraw from Ukraine in the next month or two.
When NK artillery quality is so low not even Russia will buy It, it makes you wonder what the rest of their equipment is like.
> Russian forces have frequently deployed cluster munitions in Ukraine, and Russian cluster munitions are considered to have dud rates comparable to Cold War-era U.S. weapons, or around 20%-40% dud rates.
