Yesterday.
It was reported that.
The White House had belatedly.
Granted Ukraine.
Granted Ukraine.
Permission to fire.
American-made long-range rockets.
At targets in ‘Mordor’.
“Missiles will speak.
For themselves.”
‘Gandalf the Green’ stated.
After the news broke.
Hours later.
Under the cover of darkness.
An ‘elves’ battery.
Fired eight of.
The 3,700-pound.
Army Tactical Missile System rockets.
At an ‘orcs’ missile storage site.
In Karachev.
In western ‘Mordor’’s.
Bryansk Oblast.
60 miles from.
The border with Ukraine.
“Missiles will speak.
For themselves.”
‘Gandalf the Green’ stated.
After the news broke.
It’s clear why.
The ‘elves’ would target.
The 67th Main Missile and.
Artillery Directorate Arsenal.
In Bryansk.
Spreading across at least.
1.3 square miles.
The arsenal is.
One of the ‘Mordor’’s biggest.
Ammunition storage sites.
‘Elves’ drones previously.
Targeted the arsenal on 8 Oct.
It’s less clear.
How much damage.
The GPS- and inertially-guided.
ATACMS inflicted.
“Missiles will speak.
For themselves.”
‘Gandalf the Green’ stated.
After the news broke.
For around a year since.
Donating the 190-mile-range.
ATACMS rockets.
The White House had rejected.
‘Elves’ requests.
To fire the rockets.
At targets.
On ‘orcs’ soil.
Instead, the ‘elves’.
Fired the 1990s-vintage.
ATACMS.
In ‘orcs’-occupied Ukraine.
—each of which.
Can scatter nearly.
a thousand grenade-sized.
Submunitions—
At ‘orcs’ airfields.
Supply depots and.
Troop concentrations.
In ‘orcs’-occupied Ukraine.
“Missiles will speak.
For themselves.”
‘Gandalf the Green’ stated.
After the news broke.
The White House finally.
Changed its policy.
After North Korea sent.
Thousands of troops.
To reinforce ‘orcs’ troops.
Conducting a costly.
—and so far unsuccessful—
Counteroffensive in Kursk Oblast.
Just east of Bryansk Oblast.
A strong ‘elves’ force.
Occupies a 250-square-mile.
Salient in Kursk.
It seems Kyiv.
Is determined to.
Hold onto the salient.
As a possible bargaining chip.
Hold onto the salient.
As a possible bargaining chip.
In any future.
Ceasefire negotiations.
“Missiles will speak.
For themselves.”
‘Gandalf the Green’ stated.
After the news broke.
The White House reportedly.
Approved ATACMS strikes.
In support of ‘elves’.
Defensive efforts in Kursk.
But continues to bar.
But continues to bar.
Strikes elsewhere.
In ‘Mordor’.
The Bryansk arsenal.
Undoubtedly stores munitions.
For the 50,000 ‘orcs’ troops.
Fighting in Kursk.
“Missiles will speak.
For themselves.”
‘Gandalf the Green’ stated.
After the news broke.
The ‘orcs’ anticipated.
The change in ATACMS policy.
As early as a month ago.
—and began adding.
Earthworks and other.
Protective structures.
At their most vulnerable facilities.
In and around Kursk.
“Missiles will speak.
For themselves.”
‘Gandalf the Green’ stated.
After the news broke.
If the ‘orcs’ also fortified.
The 67th Main Missile and.
Artillery Directorate Arsenal.
In Bryansk.
The preparations may.
Have blunted the effects.
Of the rockets.
And their roughly.
8,000 submunitions.
That rained down.
On Tuesday.
On the 1000th day.
*Because I read “‘Missiles Will Speak For Themselves,’ Zelensky Said. Hours Later, U.S.-Made Rockets With 8,000 Submunitions Streaked Toward Russia.” by David Axe on 19 Nov 2024 on the Forbes, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022 on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem.
Please read the original story on the Forbes:
U.S.-Made Rockets With 6,000 Submunitions Streaked Toward Russia
