The current military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has lasted for nearly 130 days. However, according to U.S. Director of National Intelligence Haines, the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine cannot end in a short time, and it is difficult for the Russian and Ukrainian armies to decide the outcome. Haynes said that judging from the information obtained by the US intelligence agency, the current front line of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict is 1,100 kilometers long. The Russian army has occupied 220% of the land area of Ukraine. The entire Luhansk region is under the control of the Russian army. under the control.
However, within the area occupied by the Russian army, the counterattack force of the Ukrainian army is also increasing. Because of this, it is temporarily impossible for the Russian army to break through the Donbass area and spread the war to other areas of Ukraine. However, the overall situation on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield is extremely unfavorable to the Ukrainian army, and the situation of the Ukrainian army is not optimistic. Haines said that the United States will continue to join forces with the United Kingdom and other allies to provide military assistance to the Ukrainian army and increase the combat effectiveness of Ukrainian soldiers on the front line.
According to Haynes, the M270 multiple rocket launcher provided by the British to the Ukrainian army has been put into actual combat. Previously, 450 Ukrainian soldiers completed M270 multiple rocket launcher operational training in the UK. This work was part of Western countries’ military assistance plan to Ukraine. It is reported that the M270 multiple rocket launcher is another big killer weapon obtained by the Ukrainian army after the M777 self-propelled howitzer, "Haimas" multiple rocket launcher and PzH-2000 self-propelled howitzer .
Public information shows that the M270 multiple rocket launcher was jointly developed by the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Italy. It is one of the most expensive rocket launcher systems in the world. Of course, it is expensive for its own reasons. The M270 multiple rocket launcher has strong firepower, high degree of automation, good maneuverability, strong survivability, and can adapt to complex battlefield environments. In addition, the M270 multiple rocket launcher is compatible with a variety of ammunition, ranging from rockets to missiles .
Taking the launch of surface-to-surface missiles as an example, the M270 multiple rocket launcher can complete the launch mission of 12 multiple surface-to-surface missiles in one minute, with a maximum range of up to 80 kilometers. It is the longest-range artillery currently owned by the Ukrainian army. . Haynes claimed that after the M270 multiple rocket launcher is put into actual combat, it will greatly enhance the long-range strike capabilities of the Ukrainian army, allowing Ukrainian soldiers to attack military targets of the Russian army in a relatively safe defense zone.
For the Russian army, the M270 multiple rocket launcher fire not only poses a great threat to itself, but also gives them a new "prey". The Russian military stated that it will mercilessly attack the weapons and equipment provided by Western countries to the Ukrainian army. Analysts said that the weapons and equipment provided by Western countries to the Ukrainian army will only delay the Ukrainian army's defeat and make the Ukrainian army suffer greater casualties, and it is impossible to completely reverse the situation in the Russia-Ukraine war.
