I still like the idea of converting cargo ships into one way LSTs and landing them behind the Russian lines.

Of course the troops will need to be supplied, fed and supported. A big challenge. As the Canadians experienced at Dieppe, it's easy to get onto the beach, but then what?

And of course after such a move, Ukraine can kiss goodbye to the hopes of civilian grain ships moving freely again.

UK Believes Russia May Increase Airborne ISR Capacity In Ukraine | Aviation Week Network

The UK Defense Ministry says Moscow’s failure to thus far establish an airborne ISR capability in Ukraine has been a “critical flaw” in its invasion.

Across the Dnipro

Military river crossing operations are notoriously difficult to plan and execute. They are one of the most difficult forms of combined arms manoeuvre because of the challenges posed by river currents, the availability of bridging, and enemy action designed to interfere with crossing activities.

That would be a mistake. Such a decapitation strike against a seemingly, cough, ahem... "democratically" elected president would rattle heads of state across the globe.

Though I suppose the Brits did try to kill Hitler, which is about the same thing, cough, "elected" leader turns into maniacal tyrant.

Thanks for posting that! It was well worth investing the 90 minutes - a really informative piece. It's amazing how Pinner can be so matter-of-fact about his experiences in Russian hands - an impressive guy

There are speculation and rumours that the single new HIMARS being supplied to Ukraine in the latest US support package has been specially modified to handle the GLSDB. If true, this will give Ukraine another long range fires option (adding to Storm Shadow and ATACMS).

GLSDB has been shown to be able to hit precision targets at least 130 km away, and the price per unit is about 25% less than that of a standard HIMARS missile.

Given the success that Ukraine has seen with long range weapons in recent months and Russian responses, I wonder what's left in range.

Zelensky might be thinking that turn about is fair play. He's said in interviews that Ukrainian security & intelligence services have foiled five or six assassination attempts against him.
