I did wonder if now they are armed with the new Switchblade 600 that has a range of nearly 40 km, would it not be ideal to start hitting the tanks at the rear while they are forming up and re-equipping, I would imagine it would cause fear and disallusionment amongst those fresh troops and conscripts before they even set off. Also will the weather not start to play a role as it is getting warmer with the occasional rain, and they I should imagine are going to be roadbound again. Also would the self propelled artillery be more of an ideal target along with fuel.
