Alright, lets assume the Russians get *zero* replenishments from Syria/Libya and *maybe* no replenishments from Belarus. What's the Ukrainian military's counter to the Mariupol Model once it spreads to Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, etc.? What does the Ukrainian mil do to counter the trade of Russian KIAs for civilian casualties via standoff ordnance?
This is why you need a surge in equipment like attack drones that can be used in counter-battery and logistics denial. Nobody is going to out-artillery the Russian army, directly (not without having the equivalent of the US Air Force available).
I truly hope you're right. I just know that once Mariupol falls there'll be a lot more artillery batteries and shells available elsewhere. Kharkiv has already gotten a good amount of this treatment but not to the degree Mariupol has based on before/after Maxar imagery at scale.
