Accuracy vs Quantity
Here the problem "suddenly" emerges in the awareness of the Western helpers of Ukraine (Pentagon and NATO) and the rest of the conceptualists of 5th generation warfare, information system, network-centric and blah, blah, blah...
They have already understood that something is "very wrong", but they have not yet understood what.
So I give them a tip. 🙂
US and NATO high-precision weapons, as it suddenly turned out, should hit not a couple of test targets on the training ground, but all enemy targets. And this enemy had so many targets that not only demo units of "super weapons" are missing, but even ammunition for them! The arsenals and ammunition of entire NATO countries are lacking.
It turned out to be difficult to hit all the targets. Especially when you are not fighting alone, but with someone else's hands. And at the same time, you are not giving these hands a comprehensive "information system, network-centric..." but only individual types of weapons, and some of them piecemeal.
It suddenly turned out that the enemy (Russia) reached almost their "digital" speed, only by analog-muscle methods, with the involvement of key freely available digital communications. What was perfectly demonstrated by Orlano-Arta (bundle: "Orlan" drone + Russian 152mm artillery).
They gave us M777. Without shells Excalibur... The range is limited. The number is not enough, Orlano-Arta simply does not allow to demonstrate accuracy. That's all that's left here from the concept of high-precision weapons...
Enemy electronic warfare systems in some cases generally cut down certain types of weapons as a factor. What was predicted, but never predicted by the Pentagon + NATO. Because it is one thing to work with air superiority and suppression of the enemy's radar/EWS, and quite another - in the conditions of not providing ARM-HARM missiles, aviation and not closing the sky in principle.

USA gave Switchblade-300, the most expensive and most technological way of delivering 40 grams of explosives to the head of a Russian soldier. The enemy has a country of 140 million, with a potential reserve of 17 million. And the main thing - Switchblade-300 does not fly under EW. Neither accuracy nor quantity.

Now we take an air defense system of medium range. It consists of old Soviet samples. Because new western models have not been provided to Ukraine in 5 months. These old Soviet models are long-range, but large and slow. Complexes of medium and short radius such as TOR, Buk, Strela-10, Wasp, Tunguska, ZU32... these are large slow targets that slowly crawl through fields, roads, glow in the heat, in the radar. Therefore, they are all quickly destroyed when trying to get closer to the front line. Those who survived have already run out of missiles (again - the number of Russian targets!).

And the problem with MANPADS (small anti-aircraft missiles) was solved simply by enemy attack aircraft and helicopters: They simply went beyond the 5-kilometer hemisphere. Of course, the presence of MANPADS strongly binds and limits, and from time to time either an attack aircraft or a helicopter is "caught" by MANPADS. But if you look at the statistics, the loss of planes and helicopters has almost stopped. At the same time, the enemy's aviation continues to be a combat factor and deliver regular strikes! Therefore, here too, the NATO concept has lost at the moment.

What to do at the "present moment"? "West" thought about it. To provide long-range modern air defense complexes - they are afraid of "what Putin will think."
What to do at the "present moment"? "The West" (the USA and NATO) thought about it. To provide long-range modern air defense complexes - they are afraid of "what Putin will think."
No one has developed more modern MANPADS with an extended range of damage. Because they didn't feel the need. Accuracy=0 because quantity=0. And the enemy's targets, especially taking into account UAVs, are lying eight. (infinity).
No one has developed specialized cheap MANPADS to combat mass drones of the Orlan-10 type either. Neither the Pentagon nor NATO have interceptor drones for Orlans.
Rheinmetall-Ehrlikon, Bushmasters with AHEAD ammunition and 3D radars are not given. They don't give because they don't have enough even themselves. The number of Orlans, Elerons and similar UAVs in the Russian Federation turned out to be such that the "high-precision units" of NATO weapons would simply choke in the mass of targets. It is naive to hope that sanctions will stop it. What will happen when in "Lend-Lease" for the Russian Federation
will China join? Will it again become a nightmare for the Western military?

Systems of Reactive Volley Fire of the Russian Federation ... everything here is generally sad. With nothing but HIMARS, and in a "wolf pack", we will not be able to "get" them. They don't give us anything else. But HIMARS have been given so little that there are more priority goals for them.
How to deal with tens of thousands of barrels of the Reactive Volley Fire System of the Russian Federation, including the type of modern Russian Tornado-S, which have a range of up to 200 km? And which are covered by a dense air defense system?

Would like to hear from Western conceptualists. Because this issue will become very relevant for them if Putin advances to Königsberg and turns from there to Warsaw. Hoping for your aviation? On the Tomahawks?
By the way, about Tomahawks.
It is quite difficult for me to imagine the logic by which the Western military world imagines combat operations with the Russian Federation in the future.
It's like imagining that in the Second World War they would have fought Hitler exclusively on their territory, not affecting not only the territory of Germany itself, but also the territories of previously captured European countries. Without affecting Hitler's military industry. That is, victory without "D-Day", in particular.

It is in these conditions that the West is currently putting Ukraine, limiting it in strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation and not providing the appropriate weapons. Tomahawks, yes!
I did not go into moral and ethical topics here, I limited myself to military and strategic ones. I will hide my feelings too...
Although it is still impossible to hide it completely. Because in fact, the West now has to solve the most difficult technological problem caused by a lack of determination: How to effectively fight without fighting at the same time?

 === Only FAKTS ===

* Paris sent 18 "Caesar" howitzers to Kyiv - a quarter of the total supply of high-tech artillery.
The French company Nexter will need about 18 months to create the new ones.

* The war in Ukraine showed the scarcity of Western defense supplies—especially unattractive but important supplies like artillery shells, which were the backbone of the fighting.
Lack of manufacturing capacity, labor shortages and disruptions in the supply chain — especially of computer chips — lead to long lead times.

* The fetishes of high-tech weapons and economical production overshadow the importance of maintaining a stockpile of the basic kit

* The total annual production of 155-mm artillery shells in the USA will be enough for less than two weeks of hostilities in Ukraine

* This is similar to the great munitions crisis of World War I, when the massive use of artillery in trench warfare depleted British supplies, the shortage leading to heavy military casualties and the resignation of Prime Minister H.H. Asquith.

* Ben Wallace, Britain's defense secretary, said Western countries would find it difficult to wage a protracted war comparable to Russia's attack on Ukraine because their ammunition stocks are insufficient for the threats we face.
Last year, during a simulated war, Britain ran out of ammunition after eight days.

* Supply problems were compounded by decades of emphasis on lean production, financial efficiency, and industrial consolidation, which worked against military planners who sought to maintain expensive stockpiles of weapons.
* In the UK, low stocks meant it recently had to buy howitzers from a third party to send to Ukraine

* In the US, the Pentagon works with only five main defense contractors; in the 1990s there were 51.
 

* As for the guided missile salvo systems manufactured by Lockheed Martin, which Kyiv requested so that it could strike behind enemy lines, the US has already sent about a third of its total stockpile of 20,000-25,000 missiles.

* Russia also suffers from supply problems.
It is reported that the Uralvagonzavod defense plant is working in three shifts to repair old tanks.
Stocks of ammunition are partially replenished from a large warehouse in Belarus.
* The recent appointment of Gen. Hennadiy Zhidek, a former deputy defense minister, as commander-in-chief of Russian forces in Ukraine gives the military "institutional firepower in Moscow." . . because he has a powerful voice to make sure he gets the economy he wants

Putin signed: smuggling finally legalized in Russia
In the Russian Federation, there is now no punishment for the so-called "parallel imports".

In the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin signed a law legalizing smuggling in his country.

The Russian leader signed the law on the legalization of the so-called parallel imports, TASS writes.

The law gives the Russian government the right to determine goods for which Russian companies will not be held criminally, administratively or civilly liable for smuggling.

Recall that the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade in early May published a list that included more than 50 categories of goods for smuggling. The list, in particular, included equipment and electronics, weapons, soap, medicines.

The list included products from brands such as Samsung, Siemens, Apple, Panasonic, Intel, Asus, Logitech, GoPro and Electolux.

In the Russian Federation, the largest marketplaces are ready to sell contraband goods.

ABOUT SHELLS
Artillery in modern conventional warfare remains the main tool for defeating the enemy. Therefore, the customer and the developer of artillery systems are constantly faced with the question of how to do this more efficiently.
--
Range
Doubling the range increases the area of "work" of artillery by four times. In this case, it becomes possible to hit targets while remaining outside the zone of counter-battery operations of enemy artillery.
With the same barrel and propellant charge, the range can be increased by improving the projectile. For example, a bottom gas generator allows you to increase the maximum range by 20-30%.
The area of rarefied air behind the bottom of the projectile increases aerodynamic drag. If you fill this area with gas, the range and accuracy increase with a slight decrease in the weight of the warhead.
In active-rocket projectiles, a solid-propellant jet engine is installed at the bottom, which pushes the projectile forward. The range increases, but the accuracy decreases. Such projectiles need correction.
ARS with a ramjet engine are considered promising (photo). They do not need to place an oxidizing agent in the projectile body, since oxygen is taken from the air. The expected increase in range is twofold - more than 100 km.
--
Accuracy
According to Russian ammunition consumption standards, to suppress a reinforced platoon hidden in trenches at a distance of 16 km, it is necessary to fire one and a half thousand 152 mm shells along a front of 300 m and 200 m in depth.
In the late 80s, the Americans conducted an experiment. A battalion of 24 155 mm howitzers needed 2,600 rounds to hit 50% of targets (equipment and dummies) to accomplish the same task at maximum range.
Weight of 152 mm shot in capping 90 kg. To suppress a motorized infantry platoon hidden in the trenches, several wagons or a column of ammunition trucks are needed. Therefore, the Russian army fights well along the roads.
Thousands of shells are logistics, time, money, vulnerability to enemy artillery and the destruction of civilian infrastructure in the battle zone. An alternative is the use of adjustable projectiles.
With a tenfold increase in accuracy, ammunition consumption is reduced by a hundredfold. Modern technologies make it possible to install corrective systems in place of the fuse of conventional projectiles.
Here, too, there is experience. Nine out of ten corrected Excaliburs in Iraq fell within 4 meters of the target. These are several orders of magnitude higher accuracy and reduced consumption compared to conventional projectiles.
--
P.S
The evolution of artillery is by no means over. For Ukraine, it is just beginning. It is the Russian army that can expend thousands of tons of ammunition to hit a city-type target. Ukraine has no such goals.
We often talk about the need for long-range artillery, but rarely mention the importance of precision-guided munitions. At the everyday level, we poorly understand the role and tasks of artillery systems in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
After the war, according to Soviet norms for the consumption of shells, the liberated territory resembles a lunar landscape. Modern artillery systems are capable of reducing the scale of destruction and preventing the enemy from doing so.
When we ask for help, we need to explain why we need it. Victory is an abstract concept. It is better to explain this with numbers - such and such weapons systems will save so many lives and US dollars.
Sophisticated weapons require training of personnel. And this, too, must be treated with understanding. The habit of reading instructions when nothing else has worked is paid in blood in modern warfare.

 There are recorded cases of unsatisfactory food supply of the occupying troops. According to the available information, the staffing level of platoon commanders in the units of the 2nd Combined Arms Army of the Central Military District remains low. The reason is significant losses and refusal to participate in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine.

Russia fired rockets at two universities in Nikolaev

The head of the Nikolaev regional military administration, Vitaly Kim, published a video of the “arrival” of an enemy missile at one of the universities in Nikolaev.

“Today, terrorist Russia attacked the two largest universities in Nikolaev. At least 10 missiles. Now they are attacking our education. I ask the universities of all democratic countries to declare Russia what it really is, a terrorist,” Vitaly Kim wrote.

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russia has launched more than 2,960 missiles into Ukrainian cities: "The main target of the missiles is civilian objects."

According to him, this is a Russian tactic that is aimed at driving people out of Ukrainian cities and so that each of the Ukrainians feel fear of the terrorist state Russia.

Earlier it was reported that on the morning of July 15, a series of powerful explosions thundered in Nikolaev.

Russian invaders will reopen more than ten thousand tanks and recruit contractors

Across Russia, from Kaliningrad to Sakhalin, huge stocks of tanks are being reopened at Russian storage bases. We are talking about more than ten thousand tanks.

This is stated in the material RBC-Ukraine.

It is worth making an allowance for their obsolescence (the T-62 and even the T-55 are taken into account), and for the technical condition, and for the rampant corruption that has always flourished at Russian military equipment bases. However, from the three tanks that are in storage, you can assemble one more or less working one. At the same time, the total amount can be measured in thousands, which is several times higher than Ukrainian reserves.

“In our case, we are not talking about efficiency, quantitative indicators turn into quality here. That is, roughly speaking, 10 old tanks have an advantage over one modern one. If a tank can be taken into the field and it will shoot, then it will still inflict us harm,” said military expert, Colonel Sergei Grabsky.

In turn, military expert Mikhail Zhirokhov drew attention to the fact that the reactivation of ancient Soviet tanks is directly related to the recruitment of contract soldiers. First of all, those who served in the Soviet era or in the 90s. It is they who are familiar with this kind of equipment, and it will take a long time to retrain them for more modern machines. At the same time, if tanks are now often used simply as buried firing points, the difference between the generations of the same "t-62" does not matter so much.

The situation is almost identical with artillery. Since the occupiers fire up to 2,000 shells per day, fully functional Soviet ammunition will allow the Russians to maintain this rhythm for quite a long time.

“That is why we are trying to destroy supply chains, to create a situation where the Russian Federation cannot take advantage of its advantage in the number of artillery, tanks, ammunition, etc., that is, we cannot in any case expect that we will ever reach parity in quantitative composition, only in qualitative terms," Sergei Grabsky said.

Obviously, modern multiple launch rocket systems that Ukraine receives from Western allies will play a key role here. Even a small number of HIMARS are already demonstrating amazing effectiveness by becoming for the invaders the same household name "weapon of retaliation" that Bayraktari and Javelini were previously considered to be.

If stocks of Russian ammunition are destroyed tens of kilometers before the front line, the superiority in their total number will not help the Russian troops - since they will not be able to put it into practice.

The President of the Russian Federation dreams of building a new world order.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has a clear "victory plan" consisting of three strategic aspects.

The Kremlin's possible design was outlined by Russian political analyst Tatyana Stanova in a column for the New York Times.
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/18/opinion/putin-russia-ukraine-winning.html?searchResultPosition=1.

The expert stressed that Putin's plan goes beyond Ukraine, but focuses on it. It shows how far Putin is out of touch with reality.

According to the political scientist, Putin's first goal in this regard is the seizure of Ukrainian territories:

    "Failing to move deep into Ukraine, Russia immediately scaled down its ambitions, abandoning the idea of capturing Kyiv. The current more realistic goal seems to be control over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and establishing a land corridor to Crimea."

Putin's second goal in the plan, Stanova writes, is to force Kyiv to capitulate by agreeing to the "Russification" of Ukraine. The Kremlin is planning to change the Ukrainian government, "purge" the elites and end Kyiv's cooperation with the West.

The third goal in Putin's plan, as the political scientist notes, is to build a new world order: "Putin believes that the war against Ukraine and its consequences, such as high inflation and a sharp rise in energy prices, will help people rebel against the traditional political establishment. He is betting that fundamental political changes in Western countries will eventually lead to the transformation of the West.

We will remind, the adviser to the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Vadim Denisenko said that Russian President Vladimir Putin brought his daughter Ekaterina Tikhonova into big politics. He probably wants to make her his successor.

“The day before Daria's wedding, a Russian rocket hit 100 meters from her house. The bride and groom wanted to cancel the wedding, but decided to get married anyway. There was another idea for a wedding photo shoot, but the couple decided to capture the moment, as this is the reality of life in Ukraine now. "
