What is next on the ''escalation'' ladder? What will they send next if the Russians move their warehouses even further back. I don't even think ziggers can do this though, their logistics are already stretched thin as hell.
Russia move the front out of ukraine to have more space for warehouses
A shit ton of Tomahawk and some AGM-158 JASSM.
>Tomahawk
They can't launch it. No launching platform
Shipping 20 F-18 should solve the problem. Gen-3 fighters are already used in this conflict, so it's not escalation.

My brother this is a Tomahawk and a F-18
Russia's logistical situation is so rough now and Ukraine is doing everything they can to exploit it, just yesterday they hit a large ammo depot in rykove
I can't imagine that Russia's defence will hold indefinitely if Ukraine sustains pressure on it
arguably bigger issue for Russia is their trucking, Russian has been relying on civilian vehicles for trucking since at least autumn of last year and turns out city buses/sedans just can't handle an active warzone full of suicide drones, errant artillery strikes, and people just fricking shooting at you with a rifle like a dedicated military supply truck
And every single western paper that is too poor or cowardly to send war correspondents is just reprinting vatnik propaganda as is.
Absolutely disgusting.
>What is next on the ''escalation'' ladder?
letting them target shit within russian borders
I assume you mean within Russia's internationally recognised borders? Because Ukraine hits stuff in Crimea all the time and everyone is fine with it.
I doubt someone would way anything if Ukraine hit russian military inside russia.
It's not Ukrainians, just independent Russian militants armed with scavenged gear :^)
If we learned anything from wwi it's that the losing side needs to know they lost. Let them throw a few over.
They'll accidentally leave some ground-launched, retired, nuclear tipped Tomahawks on a runway near Kyiv.
>But as long as it is powerful enough, it can work
Monke is pretty much asking for this the way he keeps talking up how he will give nukes to everyone who joins him.

Aircraft.
I'm not sure why the EU doesn't just pull a Vietnam right now and start lobbing missiles at Russian aircraft from Finland and Poland.
F-16s, ATACMS, Merkavas, Tomawawks, JASSMs, LRASMs to sink the Sevastopol fleet, three free shots out of the Dugway Zapper.
DUDE FRICK YEAH MORE WUNDERWAFFE
RUSSIA IS FINISHED THIS TIME FOR SURE
>"escalation"
It's not. MLRS analogues were present on the battlefield since day 1. And it won't be an escalation if we ship Tomahawks to ukies, since the long-range cruise missiles are already used in this conflict (Caliber).
Ukranians getting the ok to attack russian territory so their offensives aren't hemmed in by invisible walls at the border.
