ATCMS for Ukraine: Which missiles will be the most useful for the Armed Forces - expert

However, there are other missiles in the United States, which would be the opportunity to get an advantage in confrontation with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The analysis of the capabilities of ATACMS was investigated by the military-political observer of the group "Information resistance" Alexander Kovalenko. He posted his analysis on the Facebook page.

Kovalenko indicated that the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation near Berdyansk and Lugansk, which occurred on October 17, used M39 (ATACMS Block I). The rockets were able to destroy or damage about a dozen Russian aircraft. After that, the Russian command began to remove the planes and helicopters away from the front line.

According to the military observer, the Armed Forces has a problem with this type of missile - there may be too little at the Armed Forces. Therefore, you should look carefully at other shells stored in the arsenals of the Pentagon. Kovalenko summed up that each of these missiles, when the Armed Forces is at the disposal of the Armed Forces, would give you some military tasks. Therefore, he noted that the forces of defense they need all. "Ukraine requires all the above modifications of ATACMS.

Each of them is useful in its own way, for use on a particular area of ​​the front, in one or another type of objects," he said. Thanks to this arsenal of the Armed Forces, they will be able to drive away Russian aviation, force the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to change the system of control of combat operations and transfer the Black Sea Fleet to Novorossiysk.

The last point will improve the shelling situation: "Finding the Black Sea Fleet in Novorossiysk will reduce the surprise factor in the launches of" calibers "from surface tools. " It should be noted that the first use of ATACMS missiles in Ukraine became known in the morning of October 17 - this was reported in the General Staff of the Armed Forces after the corresponding hints of Western media. The network has published footage of hit on the Russian air base near Berdyansk.

The video shows some vividly played in the territory of the military object of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The Ukrainian command confirmed that it was possible to destroy or damage about a dozen Russian helicopters. The Pentagon confirmed the provision of ATACMS, noting that only 20 rockets were received in Ukraine. They also emphasized that in the future they would not publicly announce the sending of a similar type of weapon.
