Be cool if the Russian invaders had to pull troops out of Ukraine territiory to protect Russian territory from Ukraine invaders.
How mobile are the ATTAC'Em missiles we sent? Can they be moved into New Ukraine and used against deeper targets?
Quite mobile - The more mobile version is the M142 platform- anywhere you can take a 12 ton wheeled truck that can hit 50 mph on highway.How mobile are the ATTAC'Em missiles we sent? Can they be moved into New Ukraine and used against deeper targets?

They are fired from HIMARS and that stands for High Mobility Artillery Rocket System. Trouble though is you can't fit many on there like the smaller rockets so you'll need a logistics train to bring you more.How mobile are the ATTAC'Em missiles we sent?

I wouldn’t be shocked if thousands of Russian families haven’t heard from the conscripted sons in months with no official word from the government.This could be political Kryptonite for Putin;

From my understanding conscripts should not be used for the Special Military Operation. War hasn't been declared by Russia against Ukraine.

Video from an ISR drone with thermal vision recording what I assume to be GMLRS strikes on that Russian convoy.
How would Ukraine have controlled their air?
While we definitely could have gotten F-16s to Ukraine faster I think people overestimate how much faster. For example before pilots or ground crews can learn anything about the F-16 they had to learn English.
Truth. In the West we train to take the fight to the enemy, then decapitate it. We attack 24/7 too, no time outs for sundown or bad weather. Tends to end conflicts decisively. In the East they train to trade blows, in quantity, across long lines and for long periods of time. Works as long as you have enough men to treat them as expendable assets, no different than gun powder or MREs, as well as a society not averse to such losses.
The proof behind modern Western military doctrine was put on display in Iraq back in the 90s. China and Russia both shat bricks at how fast we dismantled a huge military, particularly one in a different hemisphere. Tactically, strategically and logistically America and it's NATO allies outclass the Russian military, and not by slim margins either. The last thing Putin should want is for what's left of his military to attack NATO. That just hits fast forward on Russia's demise, and his.
They could have used ATACAMS earlier, without a stupid 100km imposed limit, hit airfileds, hit airplanes standing but they always hit a "escalation fear" which seen from Eastern Europe looks reaaaaaly retarded. They needed long range weapons to hit factories, but... nope. They had to create themselfs. Russia obeys only force, does not respect any word given, and laughs of western stupidity of self imposed limits. There will be no nuclear war because the power circle in Russia likes it's lavish way of life too much to risk ending it, but they will bluff until Kingdom comes, because else they cannot maintain their power image for the serfs back home.
We can wish and sometime wishes come true; but just look at the shit Trump got away with and his 'base' cheers him on. People are idiots.The more stuff like this gets exposed, the more it's going to happen, and the more tenuous life becomes for little Putler. Moar.
There is precedence for this, although not only as volunteers. See both Vietnam and Korea.I feel like we should have just implemented a program much like the Qataris did with their Olympic teams: "nationalize" a bunch of Bulgarians, suddenly, to make your new gold-medal-winning "Qatari Olympic team" by sending, I dunno, some of our retired, trainer, or you know..."bored pilots" to go "become Ukrainian" for a brief spell in the summer of 2022 to just unleash weeks-long hell on those fucking goblins.
Is it possible to re-flag an entire carrier group as a temporary "donation" for an ally?
