US do not intend to supply Ukraine's long -range ATACMS missiles - CNN
About it reports the American TV channel CNN with reference to sources. According to journalists, the US authorities are considering the recent successful counter -offensive of the Armed Forces in the Kharkiv region as evidence that the arms supplying the event and intelligence are effective. However, some US representatives warn what is too early to call the situation on the front a turning event, because the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are not yet exhausted.
In addition, US officials do not believe that the war landscape in Ukraine has changed to so much to change the short -term strategy in supplying the Armed Forces. "The United States is still not inclined to give Ukrainian forces army tactical missile systems, also known as ATACMS, which they required for several months," the sources said to reporters. ATACMS is a tactical ballistic missile of the Earth - Earth, 300 kilometers.
The projectile can be released from M270 MLRS and M142 Himars jet fire systems. The ATACMS starting container has a six -circle pattern as on the standard MLRS rocket cover. We will remind, on August 23 the edition of Politico reported that the US could secretly put Ukraine more powerful weapons. In particular, OTACMS rockets and active-reactive Excalibur projectiles are managed. On August 25, the Pentagon stated that Kiev did not need the ATACMS long -range missiles.
