So the US found which was going to be dunce to provide the Harpoons. It also starts to look less likely the Neptunes actually sunk the Moskva if they indeed need these, because then they got lucky with basically prototype missiles
The War in the Ukraine

I find it very amusing when US generals compare the Russian way of war in Ukraine to Russian destruction of East Germany in WW2. Gen. Hertling conveniently avoided to remind the audience that the US was the principal terror bomber of WW2, annihilating entire German cities like Dresden and fire bombing Japanese cities with napalm and cluster bombs. And as if that wasn't enough, a couple of nuclear bombs too.
That this was not an exception, but rather an institutional practice was confirmed 6 years later in the Korean War when the US razed to the ground every city, town and most villages in North Korea. In the last year of the war, having realized that they cannot win by conventional means they decided to push North Korea to an armistice by doubling down on strategic bombing of civilian infrastructure: they bombed irrigation dams with a premeditated intention of flooding agricultural land at time when it is particularly vulnerable during the rice transplanting phase in May:

turn around after firing rockets.
The work of the 2S5 self-propelled gun "Hyacinth-S" combat crew in Ukraine was shown by the Russian Defense Ministry. The 2S5 self-propelled gun was adopted in 1975 and received the nickname "Genocide" for its high efficiency and reliability. Unlike other self-propelled guns, Hyacinth was not supplied to the USSR in any country in the world.
The servicemen of the 58th Motorized Infantry Brigade of Ukraine appealed to Vladimir Zelensky with a statement of refusal to fight further. According to them, many of them have never held weapons in their hands in their lives, they do not have ammunition, weapons and food, and therefore they refuse to carry out combat missions.
In an attempt to stop the offensive of the Russian army, the Ukrainian army tried to blow up the dam of the Uglegorsk thermal power plant reservoir while the dam stood. In case of its breakthrough, the water can flood three settlements – Svetlodarsk, Mironovsky and Lugansk with a population of 15,000 people.

Well, with good Western training, NATO high tech equipments and weapons. I wonder if it's really problem for Zelensky.
To second you comment that the father of the Strategic bombing American Air Force General Curtis LeMay was quoted to have said that if U.S. loses the war (WWII) they would be tried as war criminal for the indiscriminate bombings (fire bombing of Tokyo) in Japan against mostly civilian buildings.
From his point of view it may seem that each russian general has 20 lives
