I am willing to bet our command and control structure is offering huge assistance.
This war turned 180 after Ukraine got *14* HIMARS. That is just stunning. HIMARS is a 30 year old weapons system. Just imagine what our new systems could do.
Russia has no answer for HIMARS. They are unable to shoot them out of the sky and they have not destroyed a single unit on the ground.
