Think there's anything more effective than mass artillery bombardments for the front line? Something like drones delivering napalm straight into trenches or other means for mass casualties among infantry? Must be a way to break through the Russians like butter, short of WW1 style chemical warfare.

LOL—Moscow called it a “training flight” but more likely it was overloaded with gear headed to Ukraine and/or pulling extra duty between servicing downtime.
Someone mixed up the source and destination, I hate when that happens. Except here.
Withdrawal from Sievierodonetsk
Planes falling out of the sky in Russia
There are rumors swirling that Ukrainian soldiers have entered Kherson city proper.
It would be a blast if intelligence had been using this time to get USSR nuclear arsenal under control all while its conventional forces are getting grinded to dust in Ukraine, then in a couple of months a surgical strike on Moscow and topple the regime.Interesting article
Russia targeted Ukrainian ammunition to weaken Kyiv on the battlefield - The Washington Post
It's crazy to think that Russia was blowing up ammunition depots in NATO countries without any repercussions.

Bulgaria probes possible Russian involvement in arms depot blasts
Bulgarian prosecutors said they are collecting evidence on the possible involvement of six Russians in four explosions between 2011 and 2020 at Bulgarian arms depots that were storing munitions for export to Ukraine and Georgia.www.reuters.com
And the west is still careful not to supply Ukraine with weapons that could potentially be used to strike Russia.
Been giving this some thought and reading. The Ukraine needs ATACMS now. We've been kinda on the back foot in supplying the equipment that Ukraine needs for much of the war - giving the Russians time to regroup, coalesce and alter their strategy to their advantage. The UKR need the ability to fire at long range, from safer locations, deeper into Russian occupied land as well as Russian supply lines, HQs and ammo/fuel dumps in Russia. The proviso that the Ukrainians don't fire on Russian townships will be upheld. In the medium term, the Russians will move HQs and ammo, etc into Russia towns - but it is much better to put them on the defensive, IMHO. Putin has other options b/4 going nuclear - he just doesn't want to pay the price yet (using more combat aircraft for example).Reznikov lobbying hard for ATACMS. I think concerns that Ukraine would use these against Russian cities are pretty wrong. They'd go after high value assets like Russian S-300 surface to air complexes emplaced on Ukrainian soil. Maybe the naval base at Sebastopol that's reloading Russian ships with cruise missiles that are being lobbed at apartment blocks and grain storage terminals.
