Ukraine - Russia Conflict

Looks like PAC 2 capability is much more than is publicized.
That means a launcher carrying 4 pac2 GEM is able to deploy much further from the radar than the 10-15km distance which is incredible to say the least. Ukraine/US are not going to put the radar at risk so it must have been near Kyiv or in Kyiv which itself is very impressive of its tracking range.

Except it's not remotely like an insurgency. In insurgencies like Iraq and Afghanistan the losses were only around 3k over 2 decades. Russia loses that in a week in Ukraine.
All getting a bit 'hunger games' in Russia.

Putin could have a 'revolution' on his hands because Russian elites refuse to send their kids to die in the Ukraine war, Wagner boss Prigozhin warns
Wagner's boss said the "fat, carefree" livelihoods of Russia's elite children could lead to outrage, comparing it to the Russian Revolution of 1917.

But the loss rates are 1000x higher than an insurgency. And the material costs and hence financial costs are higher by an even larger amount.
The death rates of neither side surpass birth rates, so that won't end the war.
What in particular?

More Ukrainian soldiers being trained by Norwegian instructors in Germany.
The insurgencies you are referring to are in much weaker parts of the globe involving much smaller number of soldiers, so it appears less. So you are underestimating the potential of an insurgency.
If you look at Afghanistan and Iraq, the total dead on the US side was 100k in Afghanistan and 200k in Iraq. This includes US/NATO forces and allied forces. US/NATO are yet to fight an insurgency on their own. And the numbers never exceeded 200k or so concurrent fighting men, whereas in Ukraine, there are at least a million and a half soldiers involved.
Anyway, that's not my point.
Germany could provide Ukraine with conventionally armed cruise missiles, in the form of the air-launched Taurus KEPD 350 which offers broadly similar capabilities to the Storm Shadow . Designed to penetrate air defenses via a very low-level terrain following flight, the turbojet-powered Taurus missile carries a 1,060-pound dual-stage warhead . warhead can even be programmed to detonate on a specific pre-selected floor of a given building.

Germany’s Taurus Cruise Missile Could Be The Next For Ukraine
Pressure is building for Germany to approve a transfer of the air-launched cruise missiles to Ukraine, following the U.K. and France.

Yeah, no it wasn't, total in Iraq was 25k, mostly Iraqi security forces of new government... over 20 years.
Not sure you had one. This is not an insurgency war.
