As Hodges notes, Ukraine badly needs ATACMS. Ukraine has done an okay job of keeping a lid on information from the battlefield in recent days, but everyone knows that Ukraine hasn’t gained significant ground. It may benefit Ukraine to hold back those haymaker punches until the US concludes that ATACMS are necessary.

There haven't been reports of big gains in the last day or two, but also not a lot of images of new losses circulating. I wonder if they are taking a pause to reorganize, attrit Russian logistics, and reconsider tactics, especially in light of Russia having RAAMs now on the front, which is apparently what caused so much grief for that initial column of leopards/bradleys. 

In other news, I'm glad to see we're providing some more bradleys and strykers. With losses and the survivabilty of soldiers in western armor, we're going to have more and more trained soldiers without a mount, which would be a waste. Also interesting that we are going to provide DU tank rounds. This probably isn't a brobdingnagian deal in that there is relatively little tank on tank fighting that you need them for, but hopefully it opens the door to sending DU armor and modern Abrams.
