Highway of Death?!

There are practically no Heavy NATO Weapons (except a handful of howitzers) yet involved in the battles and this little is already causing headache to Russia.
I guess they wouldn't want to fathom going against hundreds of MLRS + PzH2000, Caesar etc. with dozens of Counter Battery Radars.
Not to mention the air strikes against their Arty.
Russia must be beaten in Ukraine. Period.
Here I don't disagree.
