I think a lot of it is just having enough trained man power for the job which is taking time - they've had to pull some of the heavier armour elements from the south to the east as well to defend Slovyansk which isn't helping.

All this Bull.... should been sorted in 1945 and not now.
I think it's from Syria.

This could be from enyware.

As soon as you launch nukes other people may just do the same thing, there will be systems out there watching for them.
Then we can help get them kicked out and there isn't really a whole lot Russia can do about it, except launch nukes, which they won't because of the already stated reason.
If they do, then it will be hell on irradiated earth for a while.

Just to clarify - The HIMARS Increment 2 is called the AML (Autonomus Multi-domain Launcher) which is currently designed to be an add-on to the existing HIMARS and act as extra firepower. So this concept is that the original HIMARS, with 6 GMLRS/2PrSM, is followed by a second autonomous vehicle (the AML) with 12 GMLRS/4PrSM, which is controlled by the manned HIMARS via remote control initially (AI version still under testing), with both becoming a 2 vehicle unit rather than allowing the AML alone to drive somewhere to fire without any human interaction in the chain.
There's a whole bunch of info on the US Army site and their Youtube channel which covers their intended role.
Personally I think it's a great idea except for the autonomous part, which is just not anywhere near ready enough for actual combat. Instead of delaying this project (which will happen whilst the AI is sorted) I think it would be beneficial if they stick to the "remote control" version they already have working as these would get the unit into the hands of the soldiers far quicker whilst the AI stuff can take more time to be developed.

Not talking ICBM nukes but tactical nukes given it is supposedly part of the Russian doctrine although obviously never been put into practice

Could still be seen as an escalation, not sure how much fallout a tactical nuke may cause, but if that blows over a NATO country you potentially have a nice article 5 on your hands?

Ukraine war: Russian recruitment drive unlikely to have impact - UK
Vladimir Putin recently pledged to increase Russia's armed forces personnel by 137,000.
www.bbc.co.uk
Theoretical Russian tactical nukes can be up to ~100kt - depending on conditions and how it was used a single one would either be limited to 1-2miles radius where fallout was a danger through to a plume out to around 90-100 miles.
I'm sure this exact video posted from Syria at the start of the Russian intervention.

HIMARS been smashing up the front in Kherson today apparently

They really need to retake Kherson before late Autumn or it’ll be a humanitarian disaster there come winter.
There's a video on twitter of some DPR guy in the **** a bit, it's in the thread just below these tweets which claim a Russian VDV unit abandoned some DPR guys:
That's positive... they've gone with logistics, C&C, air defence and barracks to the rear initially, I guess with lots of those targets already dealt with they can now afford to take aim at the front and fingers crossed, achieve a breakthrough.
Some official confirmation from Ukraine too:

Okay, we obviously have our wires crossed here and yes they can never ever be trusted
