It’s really quite reasonable. The basic capabilities of the ATACMS are not hugely changed and have been available for decades. Russia does not have an equivalent that is demonstrably deployed effectively. They’re also not the focal point of US military development. The quality of Russian equipment being deployed right now is really bad. The limiting factor here is not “science”.

Russia does not have an equivalent that is demonstrably deployed effectively. Ukraine is being hit with Iskander-M all the time, e.g. just days ago at Myrhorod taking out SU-27s. The quality of Russian equipment being deployed right now is really bad. And yet Ukraine is still losing territory, countless men, and the war. This blasé attitude is just bizarre, as if NATO has a secret stock of wunderwaffen about to be arrive and deliver the coup de grâce any day. NATO has spent a quarter trillion dollars+ on this proxy war, staked its credibility on it, and is losing. Fun bonus if you want to watch some people die: Things people who have lost their humanity say.

  Ok buddy! We’re coming up on day 900 of the 3 day invasion. I’m sure you’ll get it soon.

  > And yet Ukraine is still losing territory, countless men, and the war. Ukraine is losing territory at a glacial pace. Meanwhile Russia is giving away (selling) territory to China. Russia is also losing men att a rate of 5-to-1 or thereabout. Losing the war? Pfft. Russia is throwing away all their equipment, countless of lives and ruining their economy in the ground... For nothing.

  It is Russian propaganda narrative to claim, that Russia is fighting NATO. There might not be some Wunderwaffe somewhere, but nato is also not providing everything it has and all the quantities. The conflict cannot be compared to fighting nato. The co flict is some nato countries drip sending equipment to another country, and also far from sending all quantity they have.
