"The United States last week secretly shipped a new long-range missile system to Ukraine, and Ukrainian forces immediately used the weapons to attack a Russian military airfield in Crimea last Wednesday and Russian troops in the country’s southeast overnight on Tuesday, according to a senior U.S. official.
But Ukraine has long coveted the system’s longer-range version, with a range of about 190 miles. That can reach deeper into occupied Ukraine, including Crimea, a hub of Russian air and ground forces, and supply nodes for Moscow’s forces in the country’s southeast."
Russia's greatest weakness may be in it's logistical limits. In the past, Russia has pulled things back out of the range of the 100 mile missiles. These new missiles will cover 190 miles.
This should slow down their ability to supply the army, partly just from having fuel and ammo depots pulled back 100 miles further. Russian advances are about to stop.
