    You are stupid for saying this or even having the thought in your head.

    A HIMARS blast is a few meters wide at best. Each rocket is about $240,000. There are probably dozens of km of mine fields between the front line and the sea of azov and Russia can deploy mines remotely to fill any gaps that Ukraine makes.

      The blast from the ones using the tungsten balls literally covers a massive area.

      It uses AoE by a blast up in the air that scatters 180000 balls over 85 meters.

      That’s about the size of an American football field.

      That’s a bit more than a few meters, you inbred Tankie.

        85 meters That’s about the size of an American football field. That’s a bit more than a few meters, you inbred Tankie.

        American education system really showing its worth here. An american football field is over 100 m if you are working with a margin of error of +/-15% at the start of your calculations your results will be dog shit. Do you know how many meters are in a KM? Do you know how many KM there are between the front line and the sea of azov? 85 is a few meters and in this context it is a drop in a bucket.

        You’d need like 300 million dollars worth of missiles provided 1) a Tungsten BB is big enough to set off a Anti-Tank mine 2) they all work correctly and hit their target, 3) none of them get shot down by Anti Air defence, 4) the mines don’t get redeployed and 5) USA has stock/makes that many of a specialty missile

        Then once that is all done you have a single path that is 85 m wide to drive down and Russia knows exactly where to aim its artillery.

        Its a stupid idea. Ukraine has the best minds the west can come up with. they don’t need your smooth brain to come up with ways to send more Ukrainians to a sure death. They are doing fine without you coming up with multi million dollar flops like this one. Go back to losing at HOI 4 on easy while using cheats.
