For these reasons, the Pentagon proposes to focus on the production of Ukrainian weapons, since ATACMS missiles will no longer be needed. Foxnews was told about the details of the Pentagon position and his head Lloyd Austin. Lloyd Austin interview Foxnews after an unexpected visit to Ukraine. The journalist wondered why Ukrainians still do not allow strikes deep into the Russian Federation, because it continues the war.
The head of the US Defense Ministry said that at this stage there is simply no content to use the ATACMS long -range missiles. The Kremlin has already moved military aircraft from airfields located within 300 km from the Ukrainian borders, that is, the weapon, which was discussed, will not get there, he said. On the other hand, strokes can be caused by Ukrainian promising developments. According to the minister, which is why the new US package has allocated money for drones for the Armed Forces.
"I think they have the ability to continue struck at a long distance and they will do it. They also have the opportunity to produce their own drones right now. They are very effective. In fact, we have seen they conduct attacks or operations that occur approximately 400 kilometers from the border and even further, "Austin said. In addition, the head of the Pentagon spoke about the chances of Ukrainians to win.
According to him, the United States believes that it is possible: the official emphasized that it is about preserving the country as such. Foxnews journalists noted that the minister did not specify whether the border was returned in 1991 or there would be a loss of territories. "Ukraine can completely win. We define victory as Ukraine as a sovereign state that can protect its territory and hold back aggression in the future," the US Defense Minister said.
It should be noted that on October 21, Lloyd Austin visited Kyiv and met with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. During his visit, the Minister announced a new $ 800 million assistance package.
