In a post on Telegram, the Kremlin's Defense Ministry said four ATACMS missiles provided to Ukraine by the U.S. were intercepted overnight by "air defense systems on duty." It did not say if falling debris had caused any damage.
The #US hopes that after delivering #ATACMs to #Ukraine, #Germany will be more likely to send #Taurus missiles, an anonymous U.S. official told TV5 Monde, a French public television network.
Ukrainian forces will be able to use a newly delivered, coveted long-range missile system to more effectively target Russian forces in occupied Crimea, senior Pentagon officials said on Thursday.
The months-long delay in U.S. military aid for Ukraine may have given Russian forces time to mitigate the effectiveness of Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) long-range missile strikes, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said on April 24.
The U.S. secretly shipped over 100 long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine last week, some of which were immediately deployed and used to strike a Russian military airfield in Dzhankoi in occupied Crimea, the New York Times (NYT) reported on April 25.
USA bestätigen Lieferung von ATACMS-Raketen an Ukraine
Lange wurde gezögert, jetzt ist es offiziell: Die Ukraine hat weitreichende ATACMS-Raketen aus den USA erhalten. Weitere sollen folgen. Steigt dadurch der Druck auf Deutschland, "Taurus"-Marschflugkörper zu liefern? Von Ralf Borchard.
Ukraine "finalized" with the U.S. details of the agreements on long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles for Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelensky said after a call with his American counterpart Joe Biden on April 22.
It may take a while for the Western world to find its courage 🙄 and stop #Muscovy ( and soon others 😞)imperialism in its tracks but when it does it will be world coming for Vladimir 😅
Justice from the skies filled with drones #ATACMS, jets and killer 🐝 drone swarms #SlavaUkraine 💪🇺🇦
Ukraine’s armed forces could soon be forced to retreat further if U.S. military aid continues to be delayed, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said, as he called on Washington to provide more long-range missiles to strike airfields in occupied Crimea.
The risk of escalation related to the supply of long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles to Ukraine is not as high as it used to be, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Charles Brown said on March 28, according to Defense One.
@SocraticEthics
This endless stalling and unwillingness to invest in our own security in the Western World will soon plunge us into an all-destroying #War
Russia has no difficulty about immediately switching to a #WarEconomy and fully investing in large quantities of #weapons and #ammunition
When will the West finally do this? It’s a few seconds before midnight and we are still playing games with our security 🤷🏻♀️
U.S. officials told NBC that the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden is prepared to send Ukraine the longer-range ATACMS variation in one of its first aid packages if Congress approves the funding.
The #Pentagon has successfully tested a new long-range precision bomb for #Ukraine that is expected to arrive on the battlefield as soon as Wednesday, according to two #US officials and two other people with knowledge of the talks.
Ukraine will receive its first batch of Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs (#GLSDB), a brand new long-range weapon made by #Boeing that even the U.S. doesn’t have in its inventory
The positions of #Berlin and of #Washington D.C. regarding the refusal to supply #Ukraine with longer-range strike capabilities are unjustified, harmful to collective security in our shared #Euro-Atlantic area, and strategically untenable. It is time for the governments and parliaments of other #NATO members to insist that these positions be revised and that Ukraine finally receives #Taurus missiles and the full-range version of the #ATACMS.
Joe Biden, President of the US, has signed a decree about economic means against foreign financial institutions involved in supplying Russia with sanctioned military goods.
@lusterko idk why they think sanctions matter at this stage… I’d rather see the U.S. give them the long range #ATACMS to destroy the tiny russian troll bridge.
