1/ Actually I do have a map for that too.
I made it a while ago..but did not show because they were not confirmed.
But here you go if you want to "see" from what distance/area it would be "safe" to launched them and moving forward..
NB. This map is not

2/ is not showing like some "civilians" ('im one now though!) tried to show back then for "attacking Russians everywhere on their territory, which makes no sense
it shows what would be a good "zone" from where u can operate (or south of Odessa if Crimea is targeted) in a relative

3/ "safe" environnement (from the river and distance and you can create a "bubble" or an Iron Dome there if you want)
note that ATACMS would reach target in less than 7 min (4-5' for radar detection) but a Ru jet at 800km/h needs 22 minutes to do the reach the area...
even a

4/ preset Ru system that would "monitor" the area, and respond with a high altitude Bomber with high velocity missiles, would need more than 5 minutes to react and have the order and launch counter strikes.
so the "Himars plateform" would have time to move away...

5/ then in a longer "phase".. Ukr would be able to move "forward" and reach some specifics pre determined area/locations, with pre established AA systems, and launch some more #ATACMS near all frontiers, not risking to "trigger" Russians because of high balistics missiles threats

6/ if we just take the Crimean "case" it would be perfect for "testing" the Ru reaction actually.
because they are "barking" right now.. but would they really "bite". reaching small areas with surgical strikes, just close to "frontier" would tell a lot...
