Ukraine is seeking the Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), which have a range of up to 190 miles
Originally published by AntiWar
While the US has been steadily escalating its military support for Ukraine, the Biden administration has held off sending the Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMs), munitions that have a range of up to 190 miles and can be fired from the HIMARS rocket systems.
One reason for not sending the ATACMs is that they could be used to target Russian territory, risking a major escalation of the war, although the administration is much less concerned about escalation than it was earlier in the conflict. According to a report from POLITICO, the US is also telling Ukraine it doesn’t have enough ATACMs to spare.
Citing people familiar with recent talks at the Pentagon, the report said US officials conveyed to representatives from Ukraine that the US military doesn’t have any ATACMs in its stocks. They said if the US sends ATACMs to Ukraine, it will make the US military less prepared for a future fight.
US military stockpiles are already dwindling by arming Ukraine as an enormous amount of ammunition has been sent to the country, specifically 155mm artillery shells. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Monday that Ukraine is using ammunition faster than the alliance can produce, raising questions about the sustainability of supporting the war.
The POLITICO report said that Ukraine is considering asking the US to approve the purchase of ATACMs from a US ally that has them. Under the plan, the US would provide the financing for the deal. South Korea, Poland, Romania, Greece, Turkey, Qatar, and Bahrain are all armed with ATACMs.
The report said that the US is still concerned that sending ATACMs could escalate the war. But the administration has pledged other weapons it previously ruled out over escalation concerns. Most recently, the US said it purchased Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs (GLSDB) for Ukraine, which can hit targets up to 94 miles away, almost twice the strike range of the munitions Ukraine is currently using with the HIMARS systems.
Focus should be, what se actually do send.
next ther is no dwendling about ammo. We have just donated 1,5 bilion or something. The problems is lack of capasity.
I will send my short range dildo now rotating in my anus…we are like americunt—we always lie…promise ukies tanks now refuse
not me at all
SS Azov Battalion Commander called Lloyd Austin a dirty Ape Untermensch primate. Do you guys agree with him?
I think they are just saying that for misdirection purposes but are actually still gonna send long range missiles, What do you guys think?
Few are promised
read my comment please
Go suck my dick, groomer.
I do not see any baked pies. I only see your diarrhea.
Russia ran out of missiles last year. Oh wait…
Possible US can’t produce new sophisticate weapon because US produce weapons companies have been boycotting of selling rare earth mineral from China.
Meanwhile in Europe, they ran out of gas months ago and everyone is shivering in the dark.
Only the canibals are still fat.
Sending stuff to Ukraine would be like washing the windshield of a f35, simply throwing good money after bad…
Its not Your money and we have them
The West is guilty of starting this war. 100% guilty. Ukraine is just a pawn in the hands of US/NATO.
So, so many people have died because of US/NATO imperialism.
The day will come when…US/NATO/Ukrainian war criminals will be tried, convicted, and punished for their sins.
Germany has chosen to shed innocent blood again, for the first time since 1945. Again, German aggression is being directed against the people of the East. Just like in WW1 and WW2.
Therefore, German leaders and military men will be the first to be tried, convicted, and punished for their participation in US/NATO’s deeply evil war of aggression against Russia.
First German war criminals will pay for their sins.
And then, Atlantic Alliance leaders will be tried and punished.
Bakhmut will fall. The Kiev. Then Berlin.
The Ukrainian Man knows when it is time.
That terrible, terrifying moment.
When Wagner fighters emerge from cover. And move forward, firing their Russian machines guns.
That is the time.
Time for the Ukrainian Man to die. Or surrender.
Wonderful. Sounds poetic.
Diane and John Foley, the parents of the American citizen decapitated on camera by ISIS said that they will stop paying taxes, asked by the reporter why they answered: “We dont want to send my tax money to finance ISIS guys who killed our son.”
Another fake American hero. Just a faggot fucker who did many years of circe jerk and ass rimming as a huge sacrifice for the nation.
That librard was beautifully decaptated. We need to do that for all libtards and propagandists.
BULLSHIT!!! Biden continues to play the ignorant deadly game of perpetual war. He will send them. He wants to further provoke Putin to using nuclear weapons. Biden is insane. Biden is a video game minded calculating criminal sticking to the narrative of his bankrupt masters in London and Wall Street. Biden, the UK and Brussels need to give up their toys and grow up; they need to surrender to higher principles as Lyndon LaRouche.tried to teach them or we as human beings will no longer be here.
I need nuclear dick up my ass. That is why I cannot post a shitpost without me demanding nuclear dick. I am that sad loser…. ;(
Seriously, do you believe them? They’re going to give (if they haven’t already) as many long-range missiles as they want Ukraine to use against Russia!
