    it seems like it was just the right weapon in the right place at the right time. Russian ammo dumps were vulnerable b/c of their shit logistics and ammo handling procedures, so introducing a weapon with the range and accuracy to strike them reliably (targeted using HATO intelligence obv) meant we get a lot of nice webms of fireworks going off. In the future the ruskies will move their dumps back and spread them out more but this will put even more strain on their logistics which will ruin their only effective strategy of werfing 1000s of shells randomly into an area until it looks like the surface of the moon.

      I would separate it into tactical and strategic success. On the tactical side, HIMARS was always going to be good but the pathetic state of the Russian military has turned them into an utterly devastating weapon and the firsthand reports from both sides of their accuracy and power. On the strategic side, these ~20 HIMARS units might be remembered as the turning point of the entire war; as Russia loses their stores of materiel near the front and relocates them farther away their heavy arty will start to peter out and the Ukranians will advance and then the Russians either have to keep scooting their depots back, find a way to prevent or defend against HIMARS attacks (lol, lmao even) or just deal with it and keep fighting in the hope that they can cause unsustainable Ukranian casualties without relying on their typical tactic of "just level the entire forest". It also makes for outstanding propaganda.

      Correct, as I see it. Against an actual peer military, the result of HIMARS launches the way that Ukraine is using them would often be limited to the loss of a few hundred rounds of whatever the local C-RAM system uses.

      Sure, they're the "MLRS-country," but they are also known as the country with WW2 artillery doctrine, requiring guns and launchers to form up in an open field just to have them all fire on the same position.

                Except the pause happened AFTER the Twin Cities were turned to rubble and BEFORE the HIMARS kicked into high gear.

                The only advantage the Russians have right now is that due to decades of Dedovshchina they're fighting on home turf now.

              The scale as well. A column of military vehicles like what Russia sent to Kiev at the beginning of the war would be sucking towns along the way dry of their gas if they relied on civilian infrastructure rather than having their own supply lines. Tanks suck down around 10x as much gas as a tractor trailer, a bit more or less depending on the tank.

          Pretty much this. We're seeing this with Kherson in real-time. It's not the first 96 hours of the war level of logistics collapse, but it's straining Russian logistics to its limits there.
          It's a very slow chokehold, and it's not gonna get any better since Ukraine will now soon have 20 HIMARS. With 20 they can begin striking smaller ammo and vehicle dumps. Every night.

            Also with the bridges damaged, Kherson's defenders cannot properly resupply.

    Probably a bit of both. While seeing Russia's performance has been a massive disappointment, a truck mounted weapon system that can strike about the entire distance that the enemy can handle between stops in their supply lines, then drive away before it can be hit by counter battery fire in the event that the enemy has those capabilities is a ridiculous advantage.

    The 5 stages of ukrainian wunderwaffe:

    Stage 1: The "Leak". INVINCIBLE SUPERWEAPON """leaked""" to press

    Stage 2: The Reaction. Media & /uhg/ trannies all hail the weapon as an invincible doomsday device that Russia stands no chance against. Lots of "sky is falling" and declarations of ukrainian resurgence.

    Stage 3: The Interim. Stories start to leak out regarding issues and marginal results. Doesn't get much notice.

    Stage 4: The Downgrade. The West quietly states that less will be sent than previously announced, or that the device will have to be modified to the new battlefield conditions (whatever the frick that means).

    Stage 5: The Cancellation. The West quietly cancels the device shipment. Stage 1 for new device few months later.

                You know why the Russians left Kiev? Because their logistics couldn't supply the damned front in large part from Ukrainian disruption ops. What is HIMARS doing? Severely disrupting Russian logistics. Further, the Russians lost Kharkiv due to Ukrainian pressure and possibly logistical strain. Forcing an opponent to retreat due to your own actions isn't "camping" and is very much "taking back territory".

      Kek your whole northern front collapsed and you got chased all the way back to the Donbas. You've lost almost 5000 vehicles, your flagship has been sunk, you've lost hundreds of senior officers, your defense minister was wounded in action (LMFAO) and might actually be dead or disfigured considering he hasn't been seen since the attack, you can't operate any aircraft behind Ukrainian lines and you're now fighting for control of the same region you had a foothold in since 2014. I'd say those weapons have worked pretty well lol.

              he meant it was a massacre on the russian army, not civilians, i know its a hard to grasp concept for a vatnik, but sometimes the enemy is an actual army, not civilians.
              regarding this massacre the victim was the russian army attacking kiev and in the process losing 30% of its individuals.
              I know again, for a vatnik the army after that was still "intact" since getting murdered for a crazy dictator is so common in great mother russia that you have it in your DNA already.

          Russia was blowing up their own equipment when it broke down when they retreated. That's not an organized retreat that's a rout.

          When the T-72 in front of you breaks down so you shell it with the T-72 behind it because you don't have time to send a mechanic to repair it, that means you're running like hell.

          That's what a defeated army does.

          Russia was defeated in the North being defeated doesn't mean every single soldier was killed because not even Ukraine had enough dead Vatnik storage, but when you can no longer do offensive operations and you realize that the only thing you'll get if you continue attacking is more death without any hopes of success, your operation was defeated.

                A good bunch of equipment was left behind simply because the Russians ran out of fuel, like during the Convoy-of-Kyiv saga:
                >bunch of trucks with nothing but ammunition

                On the other hand we also have tanks where no Ukrainian troops could've been present to account for destroyed tanks they found in the field, strongly suggesting that when someone actually competent was present and the order to retreat came they'd try to make sure that as little as possible was going to fall into Ukrainian hands.

                I'm sure it's 6 million.

                >6 million
                That's the amount of artillery shells you've lost due to Ukrainians blowing up your warehouses. Meanwhile you've lost over 40K soldiers, not counting the wounded or deserted - they're just gone.
                >inb4 inflated Ukrainian numbers
                Not only are they consistent with previous numbers the Ukrainians have published, but considering that whenever they contact Russian families to inform them that their little Vatnik has bitten the dust they always have some sort of proof - yes, I believe them. Besides, what other numbers are there? If the Russian numbers about Ukrainian losses in the first couple _weeks_ were true the entirety of the Ukrainian army would be fighting with sticks and stones by now.

                you're trying to strawman me, which isn't nice.
                of course there were some casualties.
                I never said they were not.
                probably a marginal group.
                you're the one with the maximalist rhetoric.
                that it was the masscare and no one made it out alive.

                You know why the Russians left Kiev? Because their logistics couldn't supply the damned front in large part from Ukrainian disruption ops. What is HIMARS doing? Severely disrupting Russian logistics. Further, the Russians lost Kharkiv due to Ukrainian pressure and possibly logistical strain. Forcing an opponent to retreat due to your own actions isn't "camping" and is very much "taking back territory".

                they left (not masscared, I'm glad you agree) because the south was secured.

          Americans tend to forget the US is the odd one here. It is the only country that can still do a full scale invasion/occupation everywhere on this planet for spreading them freedoms. Europeans dont see the need for that, since no colonies anymore. If they ever need some (extra) airlift capability, they can use some pooled planes under European air transport command and from NATO. Europeans use road and rail to move their stuff around on the continent and thats perfectly fine

        Russian infrastructure wasn't threatened before the invasion, they have basically every resource and even now the only stuff threatened is right on the Ukrainian border. And yet Russian logistics are terrible.

The blessings of sugar payment plans, Slava class submersible cruisers, quantum Mach 1000 mallbuster missiles, Poseidon tsunami torpedo mockups, and S-400 self-homing air defense systems will be the instruments by which Russia affirms its noble stewardship of 21st century world politics and offers non-Western oligarchs a different option: an illiberal alternative to the hassles of Western democracy and the opportunity for a more profitable and secure multilateralism

    Agreed with the above anon, it was the exact right weapon at the exact right time. I really wasn't expecting this level of impact. I've taken a "doubtful till proven" view of all of these weapons we've sent their way. The NLAWs and Javelins did pretty well in the early stages because Russians constantly Leeroy'd big armored columns through thin roads and into towns and cities. The M777s didn't do much because by that time Russian doctrine had switched to mass artillery spam by longer range MLRS and air strikes.
    But this really is exactly what they needed, and i'm not sure what the Russian counter will be. Obviously they need to rethink logistics, but there will be transition paints even if they find a solution. And that solution will probably be worse than the pre-HIMARS setup of just having big ass depots with everything nearish to the front.

      How much can they really do though? They couldn't even get tanks to Kiev without their logistics imploding, and that's also about the effective range of HIMARS with the rockets Ukraine is being supplied with.

        Feeding them HIMARS seems to be the winning solution, but Ukraine and the whole of the civilized world just needs to hope that the US can train Ukrainian operators to use HIMARS fast enough for the pressure to be maintained. Eventually Russia's top brass might just completely say frick it and order the whole military to advance anyways even while it's raining missiles, but should Ukraine pressure them long enough for the US to complete more training sessions, that rain will become a lot thicker and more frequent. It may very well completely shut down Russia should Ukraine have enough in their possession unless Russia gets its Air Force together, which is a GIGANTIC if at this point.
