It's confusing because the weapon ranges you are listing are much much shorter than the range at which weapons are typically employed IRL. As described your troops are at a disadvantage versus a man with a Maxim machinegun. Also, the diameter of Earth is 12,756 km - 300 kilometers is probably 'punching range' for a sci-fi spacecraft.
Now, some explanations about the post I've made:
I don't have specifications for a lot of my FT weapons right now but the glide bombs are effectively FT weapons of JSOW, obviously with more range but more importantly carrying FT submunitions such as plasma bomblets or HE-F bomblets that would be the futuristic equivalent of a BLU-97/B with a shrapnel effect against infantry and a moderate anti-armor effect against vehicles lighter than a tank. Artillery and MRLS are obviously also FT!artillery and FT!MRLS, mounted on gravitic hover-platforms so they can move out of their position rapidly after firing.
Naturally, geometry applies - the Bogatyr is in low orbit so it can, with its sensors, see anyone and anything approaching the landing areas for hundreds of miles, and of course whatever aircraft survive can spot fire for the artillery.

1. In light of the fact your post does not contain any mentions of follow-up attacks on the battleship Resistance, are you alright with me claiming it is still functional?
2. It seems there's not been any mentions of attacks on the Allanean freighter that is evacuating people from the sky cities. Should I presume that there are not any attacks on it so far?
3. What are the casualties, if any, of the forces attacking LZ Beta? From the posts so far they appear to be large.
4. Would Allanean ships be able to detect any kind of powerful sources of magical energy? (i.e. can I use magic-detectors mounted on ships or surveillance equipment to find any Hyrule artefacts, or to detect Ganon himself?)
5. To what extent are Hylians cooperating with the evacuation? How many of them are now on board the freighters, and are there any indications that they plan to evacuate more?

Learned a bit of Latin myself at basic level when I'm not on NS, but I'm not going to butcher in with Latin words on every line she says so that it doesn't confuse English speakers, just so that it's easy enough for me to translate whatever relics the Kovunanto finds for just one Latin-speaking character, and the only one in the whole military for her to understand, a relic translator, assuming she's alive. I have a translator in my military like her for the aliens when it comes to researching foreign things in foreign lands. Thought that would make it a multilingual alien nation that needs a basic level of understanding of multiple languages to translate the relics for the aliens to analyze. The aliens seem to understand her well enough she was let in to the military and the higher castes, for the purpose of translating whatever relics they find for her to pronounce it, analyze it, and study it. Eventually though, after this whole battle, she will explain to the High Prophets her true reasoning for being brought in to the Kovunanto, maybe they could be suspicious, or just tricked into believing they would let her in.
Now back to the more relevant questions that are still not fully unanswered:
1. The aliens still didn't know there's a third ship directly below them, that will be addressed soon.
3. Close to five-hundred thousand of my troops, actual casualties are still mounting, but it is close to five-hundred thousand.
@Romanic Imperium I already have a battle ongoing, you can kindly wait until it's over. And correct there is no tech limit, and is multi-tech friendly.
@Novaya To me, Novaya. Anything you could draft it out in advance at your own pace that would not draw out any more questions towards Kovunanto for every... single... little... detail of everything Kovunanto is doing or will be doing. Because everything I do now up to this point, every single keystroke just causes more questions than answers. At the moment for me, ship capacity for Kovunanto cannot exceed in the earliest days of the war past 800 and no more than three armadas on active duty at a time, but I will bump it up a little bit after a few more battles.
@Allanea Just don't worry or feel concern too much. Maybe there hasn't been a Halo RP in NS for a long time and don't know if there was one, and the demand of having just one to bring back popularity wasn't really high. So how I brought this up in ages, it goes like this. Maybe this will fulfill your curiosity even more, and even more so.
Spoiler alert ahead:I woke up one day and gonna say, I want to be the very thing that I was supposed to destroy, but flipped allegiance from being the greatest protector against harm in the galaxy to the very harbinger of destruction, with a slight renaming and bringing up the Kovunanto. I'm gonna show humanity that the nation is being transgressed into wiping out the top of the food chain after talking to a dormant ancient AI who was only concerned about atonement named Mediator Bias, that my nation long believed to take up on the age-old ignorance resisting its admittance to let humanity, or anyone else be the dominant species for some mystical journey, that they're going to take advantage of their long-awaited goals like finding some ancient rings, relics, holy structures and worlds left behind by their greatest makers, the Forerunners. And I said to the AI no way, by the very tenets of the Writ of Union, we're not gonna let humans or anyone else touch that, that's too holy and they don't know they're defiling it for ages, but they already inhabited many worlds, messing with the relics and their uses, so then I made a declaration out of the blue and wanted to add something else that would make it even more popular by ensuring that the war is a parody of the actual conflict, and thrown in crossover bits to go along with it.
End of spoilers, and then, bamn, a war began, and it quickly grew popular by the day, because there wasn't one like it that Halo fans would've seen it coming. And then after the first few days or so upon just finishing up the relic hunt on Remnant, humanity started to realize they are being attacked, rising up, and going after my ships and aliens just to slow their advance. Once I realized that I didn't bring up an official sign-up thread, I quickly responded with delight. And then here we are.
And just as I said before, @Allanea, there is absolutely no need to worry or concern too much about what Kovunanto is going to do, or will be doing, for every single keystroke pressed, that's going to cause more questions than answers. What I am still doing now is that I might not be doing much, a bit on and off of NS not because I'm going on a little break to figure out the logistics of future moves, but realizing that the weather is going to be a bit unbearable. But I'll leave behind a drafted post, so to stay the course and then come back to active mode after a few days to get things going again. Nature's fault, not me.
