Ukraine needs to be able to hit 30-100kms behind the line at scale. That will slow offensive activity.

Yeah, the ubiquitous cheap FPV hammer everything that moves up to 15, maybe 20km. With relay etc that goes up. The longer fiberoptics can reach 25+km. And then the Vampire and other heavy bombers. Some of the expensive western winged drones with AI and/or EW resistant can hit back to the 100km (depending on model), but due to lack of numbers and expense, they are selective on targets.

There is zero doubt in my mind that these numbers will get pushed deeper and deeper as cheaper AI navigation and targeting will allow hitting farther at very low cost, making it more and more dangerous to supply the lines or stage assaults.

Ukraine has so many weapons in the pipeline that can hit to 100 km. GMLRS. The American and French glide bombs, ... and soon their knock-off UMPK kits that will bring far larger of glide bombs into the rear. And it appears SAAB may have resolved the accuracy issue with the GLSDB, which would be useful with its 150 km range.

And now we can add the RAM-2X, and whatever else I have forgotten to mention.
