M26 rockets (sans cluster warheads) are being recycled into GL-SDB, which Ukraine's getting. How many, how fast, I can't say. There have been delays.Dan Rice makes a case for deployment of M26, and M26A1 munitions to Ukraine. He states that there are thousands of these rockets slated for disposal so the case can be made that there is no cost to the US. These munitions have a range of 30, and 45 km respectively, carrying 644, and 512 sub-munitions. These are fired from both the M14, and the HIMARS launchers, and would provide a cost effective boost to alleviate shortage of conventional artillery shells.
The President Should Approve this last weapon system and it will help win the war: M26/M26A1 HIMARS Rockets | Small Wars Journal by Arizona State University
The United States can help Ukraine win the war with one final decision: Send the short to mid-range HIMARS cluster rockets in large quantities. We have tens of thousands of these rockets, and they are all being scheduled for destruction. They are obsolete. But they remain lethally effective...smallwarsjournal.com

Are they all being recycled? Literally none to spare now? Would there be value in providing some un-recycled because it could be done faster? It seems that Ukraine is in a tight spot at least in part because production is taking a while to ramp up.
Sure but I think this takes us outside the realm of war crimes specifically.

I agree with everything you've written, perhaps I'm not expressing myself well. I see the cap as part of the whole package not an isolated measure - a price cap alone is of course meaningless, and the other financial measures are being adjusted to with time. Sorry for chewing up space on the War thread.
I agree.
I'm sure there are more in stock than are being converted. I doubt they're modifying the oldest. Ship 'em the oldest which are still usable, & save the newer ones for converson. The Ukrainians could use them & it'd save the cost of disposal.

Update.
Oskol Front.
Russian forces are advancing dead east of Kupyansk, north of the village of Ivanovka, using the nearby forest to move along the road. However considering the distances it's likely this push isn't aimed at Kupyansk itself, at least not yet. Rather I suspect the next step will be to try and take the village of Ivanovka.

Artemovsk/Bakhmut.
Russian forces are counter-attacking both west of Artemovsk near the Bekhovka reservoir and in the Klescheevka/Andreevka area. In the north Russia has made considerable gains, undoing much of Ukraine's pushes in that area. Though Russian forces are still far from the road to Chasov Yar. In the south Russian forces have retaken some positions north of Klescheevka, making parts of the village a no-mans land. Most of the villages of Andreevka and Klescheevka are just rubble, and thus hard to hold.

Avdeevka.
Russia is continuing to advance in Avdeevka. It's mirroring the approach to Artemovsk/Bakhmut at the operational-tactical level though there are tactical differences. Russian gains are being reported in the industrial park south of the town, around the chemical plant in the north, and north-west out of the town, including grabbing a foothold in the Stepove and pushing Ukrainian forces out of the village, and advancing north-west along the railroad tracks. A lot of these gains are subject to Ukrainian counter-attacks. However the focus of Ukrainian forces on the more threatening element in the north is likely what's making Russian advances in the east and south of the town possible.

They were only very recently delivered. They will likely get used as part of a Ukrainian counter-attack somewhere against the upcoming Russian offensive. They might show up near Avdeevka, or Kupyansk. Depending on Russian efforts around Mar'inka and Novomihailovka they could show up there too.

It doesn't seem to be too late. Russia seems to be doing the same thing at Avdeevka that they did at Artemovsk/Bakhmut. Pressuring the flanks then assaulting into the town when that doesn't produce immediate results. Russia is going to continue alternating pushing the flanks and pushing into the town. Again this can't end the war and has near zero strategic impact. But it's completely doable.

Beyond its impact on Ukrainian citizens, Russia’s invasion has affected millions around the world by increasing global food insecurity – Ukraine was the world’s largest wheat producer prior to the conflict.
Ukraine was never the largest wheat producer in the world, of course.
I haven’t looked at the report itself yet, but seems like quite a stretch as far the accusation of war crime goes. It is also pretty weird that one of the people who compiled the report says something along the lines of that “it is highly likely that Russia will be found guilty”.
Sorry, Brits, but a lot of your media appears to be from mildly to extremely yellow.

So it seems to be a very practical vehicle. But it is not clear how the quality and durability is.

A Ukrainian Strv-122 on the Krasniy Liman axis. Note the snow. The weather is getting steadily worse. So far it doesn't look like a warm winter this year, though it remains to be seen.

Germany's latest aid package to Ukraine apparently includes 4 IRIS-Ts, presumably we're talking about 4 TELs not 4 batteries. Some were lost on the front line.

After a break Iranian transport flights to Russia have resumed. Unclear what they're delivering but it comes as the US expresses concerns about ballistic missiles being handed over to Russia.

Ukraine is claiming a new long range sniper hit at 2800 meters with a domestically produced rifle firing a wildcat cartridge of 12.7 by 114mm. There is a video, but I cannot see enough to judge weather this is real. I suppose if they keep lobbing enough bullets at that range eventually they will have a hit. They have had a year to get there so maybe this is true.

A strike on Russian logistics by HIMARS. It looks like some ammunition went up in smoke.
Another strike on Russian LOG lines.
There are many talking about how western support for Ukraine is failing. Putin probably would not have invaded if he had any idea how much support Ukraine would get. I keep seeing commitments for long range support from many in NATO, and people I talk to in the US are all for continued support. Many of us remember the days when every municipality had a designated shelter in case of a nuclear strike. The Department of Defense recently pledged over 44 BN dollars for F-16's alone.

With its support, the US Defense Department ensures the long-term sustainability of F-16s for Ukrainian pilots.
