Shooting down US assets rarely ends well for perps...

Russia knows this lol

Remotes, though, are a different category of "assets." We still get more uppity about folks shooting things that have our people inside them. It's harder to get righteously indignant before the president when it's only a drone.

I'm not saying you're wrong; just... the bar is higher for an escalation in response. There isn't much more the US can do without becoming much more directly involved in the conflict. We're already providing material support, and what Ukraine is starting to need more than anything is bodies. Certainly, ordinance is critical, but Russia has vast, nearly depthless reserves of canon fodder.

They probably do.

ATACMS just annihilated multiple columns inside of Russia, and they're, not surprisingly, looking to push back.

Maybe the US has some end of life tomahawks laying around with a Typhoon trailer. And maybe some more atacms. Or even JASSM.
