Ukraine could get long-range missiles armed with US cluster bombs https://www.euractiv.com/section/global-europe/news/ukraine-could-get-long-range-missiles-armed-with-us-cluster-bombs/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #ATACMS #clusterbombs #militaryescalation #Russianinvasion

The transfer of key missiles with a range of over 500 km, including the #MGM-140 #ATACMS, addresses two key tasks of this stage of the war. The first (psychological) task is to send a clear signal to everyone that the war will be taken to its conclusion, that #Russia must lose, and that there is no longer mythical fear of #Moscow. It also demonstrates that the acceleration of supplies is a real de-escalation, and all other must increase the supply of most critical military assets to #Ukraine.

BREAKING:

ABC reports that the U.S. is now likely to send #ATACMS to Ukraine.

🔴 There has been a dramatic rise in Ukraine's number of dead, according to new estimates by "unnamed" 🇺🇸 officials, as #Ukraine continues to struggle on without modern #aircraft and #ATACMS

The BBC's Quentin :twitter: SommervilleTV has been on the front line in the east, where the grim task of counting the dead has become a daily reality

The real question on Kerchbridge:

The SAM visible in this video do not steer towards the ground, which would be expected if the attack came from low flying cruise missles, such as storm shadow or taurus.

They clearly steered very steeply upwars.

Was this an attack by ballistic missles such as the Hrim2 or even #ATACMS ?

AMERICANS WANT UKRAINE TO WIN

76% supermajority of Americans — including 71% of Republicans — agree it’s important that #Ukraine wins the war.

TO WIN, THEY NEED #F16s & #ATACMS

With Slow Advance, Ukraine Aims for Better Shot at Russian Targets

Ukraine is hoping that mile-by-mile gains could bring its weapons closer to Russian supply lines

SLOW?

WOULD BE FASTER WITH AIR SUPERIORITY (#F16s) AND #ATACMS

Right now, Russia is being allowed to put world food supplies at risk with it’s bombing of port facilities in #Odessa

WHY IS THIS OK Mr. BIDEN?

They are using long-range ballistic missiles from #Crimea

#Ukraine NEEDS #ATACMS to stop the carnage and risk to food security

#ATACMS would allow Ukraine to reach ANY TARGET in Crimea – Air Force spokesperson

These would significantly help in the defence of #Odesa and #Kiev… stopping ballistic missile platforms

"The number of #ATACMS in American stockpiles is fixed, awaiting replacement with the next generation, longer-range Precision Strike Missile, called the Prism, for PrSM, which is expected to enter service by the end of this year, officials said. #LockheedMartin Martin still manufactures 500 ATACMS each year, but all of that production is destined for sale to other countries." #UkraineWar

#US 'holds firm on refusal' to provide & #Ukraine with long-range missiles

So the UK gave the Ukrainians long range missiles weeks ago in the storm shadow. They are using them to launch successful strikes deep into Crimea and, notably, Russia hasn't escaped the conflict beyond it's current state in response.

So my question is what the hell is the White House waiting on at this point? Give them the #ATACMS already. #nato

NATO's latest moves could bottle up much of Russia's naval power

@mhmck I heard that Milley is - at least privately - in favour of sending #ATACMS to #Ukraine. But the decision is a political one and as such #Milley only has an advisory role. I think the opposition to ATACMS deliveries is to be found in the circle of Biden's advisors.

@Avengethefa11en Time for the #ATACMS, F-16’s, and AH-64’s. Throw in some PrSM’s for battlefield data.

@SocraticEthics ⬆️ New #ATACMS 🎯 in #Belarus.

"US ‘close to’ approving longest range missiles yet to Ukraine.

Ukraine has been pushing for ATACMS missiles which could strike at the heart of Russia’s fragile supply lines"
