Multiple Launch Rocket System. Unguided rockets. Indiscriminate damage when used in an urban setting

And why won't western allies take them out because they do pose a serious threat to them. Whatever happened to pre-emptive strikes? Were they just reserved for certain enemies and not others?

Effective against massed infantry on open ground.

Ridiculous to deploy against an urban space.

If they really think that is going to help their cause, they will be sorely mistaken. This will strengthen the Ukrainians resolve, and frankly, since most everyone is under cover, just cause alot of damage with little military effect. Very stupid

Only our B-52s could deliver that many bombs.

Most likely artillery and MRLS. That would be the precursor to an offensive
