New US Arms Package Shows ‘Qualitative Change’ Underway for Ukrainian Army
The United States is still considering supplying Ukraine with Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), according to President Joe Biden.
The ATACMS Missiles can hit targets 190 miles away and can be fired from launchers already provided to Ukraine from the West, including the HIMARS mobile launchers and the older M270 launchers.
Previously, American TV reported that Kiev has lost at least 16 US-supplied Bradley infantry armored vehicles in the first days of Ukraine's much-hyped counteroffensive - which is nearly 15% of the 109 vehicles supplied by Washington.
