"Secret" ATCMS missiles from US

The invisible transfer of long -range missiles from Washington will be a precedent for Western allies. Germany has developed schemes of secret tingling of the winged Taurus missiles, but did not have enough political will to realize. The Armed Forces becomes more and more opportunities for the destruction of the headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Donbass and in the Crimea.

The Ukrainian army could secretly receive from the United States to 100 long -range ATACMS missiles. Weapons were delivered as part of a $ 300 million assistance package in March 2024. The Armed Forces literally struck them by the Russian military airfield in Dzhanka on the night of April 17 and the base of the invaders in Berdyansk Zaporizhzhya region, told the newspaper The New York Times (NYT) by a high -ranking official from the United States.

Washington previously sent Kiev missiles with a distance of targets up to 165 kilometers, but the Ukrainian side has repeatedly asked for modern modifications of shells with a distance of flight more than 300 kilometers. On April 24, Reuters reported on the secret transfer of Ukraine's missile missiles on April 24. According to the agency's interlocutors, the factor that influenced the decision -making of the US was the attack of Russia on the critical infrastructure of Ukraine.

"We warned Russia about these things, and they have restored massive blows," the official said. After the explosions at the airfield at the airfield in Dzhanka, the General Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine declared the destruction and critical damage to the four SCRC S-400, three radar stations, the Funda-M surveillance equipment and the Air Defense Management Point. The construction did not mention the use of American missiles.

Focus has addressed the GUR for comment on the use of American missiles, but has not received the answer yet. The US Presidential Administration Joe Baiden has classified the transfer of missiles so as not to give Russia time to prepare. When the states had previously been given a long -range weapon, Ukrainians caused serious harm to the Russian forces, but the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation quickly buried units and warehouses with weapons, say NYT sources.

The participants of the contact group on Defense of Ukraine "Ramstein" are hidden by some types of weapons to Ukraine. This practice has become established during the years of a full -scale war, comments on the focus of the Colonel of the Armed Forces and the General Staff expection Vladislav Seleznev. In addition to ATACMS missiles, Kiev could secretly receive large parties of ammunition 122 mm in 2022 and 2023.

German Foreign Minister Annalen Berbb, according to Der Spiegel, tried to convince Chancellor Olaf Solz secretly sent to Ukraine the winged Taurus missiles. "One of the options was as follows: the Germans pass Taurus to the British, and they are already passing rockets to Kiev. The British retain control of their placement and goals," the article said. The United States also did not announce the transfer of the Armed Forces of one of the most powerful machines for the demining Assault Breacher.

A pair of such machines performs a job for which six bulldozers would be required, described the benefits of technique for Forbes. As for the supply of air defense complexes and ammunition to them, it is different. "If we were all well with systems and missiles for air defense, we would not have lost Trypillian TPP, the largest supplier of electricity in Kyiv, Cherkasy and Zhytomyr regions. We would have decreased at times and arrival of hostile missiles in Odessa and other regions.

A serious crisis in The air defense was due to an objective factor - a huge territory of Ukraine. Classified deliveries to Ukraine go because the Russian Federation monitors the transportation of military cargo on the western borders of Ukraine. Railway infrastructure arrivals are not random, the task of the invaders is to complicate the transportation of equipment. According to the expert, Ukraine is injured from Russian aggression and has every right to use any combat components to defense.

The transmission of about 100 ATACMS is a very serious force, which can help destroy the headquarters of the occupation troops in Donetsk, Luhansk regions and in the Crimea. In periodic military assistance reports, the White House uses general categories, such as "demining equipment" or "Himars ammunition".

Western colleagues take into account the work of the reconnaissance structures of the Russian Federation and try not to advertise some of the military deliveries, says the former deputy chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the retired Lieutenant General Igor Romanenko. "Formally, the states are not deceived. AtacMS is called as ammunition to the RSSU, but the specific type of shells do not indicate.

The Ramstein Coalition did not always show the exact number of missiles to Styinger and some of the shock drones, although they have long turned into expenditure material on the battlefield, Romanenko summed up. US military officials in dealing with NYT warned that their Arsenal atacms is relatively small. Missiles should cover the needs of other Pentagon military plans, including the Korean Peninsula.

The manufacturer of Lockheed Martin shells notes that since the development in the 1980s, about 4,000 units of ATACMS missiles have been manufactured. Proponents of the sending of advanced weapons to Ukraine reject the fears of Biden's administration about the escalation of conflict with Russia and urge the White House to provide the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces needed to win weapons.

US Presidential Advisor Jake Sullivan at a briefing for journalists on April 24 confirmed that Kiev will receive ATACMS missiles, some of which were included in the first weapons package for $ 1 billion. . Focus has previously wrote that at least 24 ATCMS missiles are required to destroy Russian air defense systems in Crimea. The interception of American shells is extremely low, so there are significant threats to the C-400 SPR.
