Ukraine Launches US-Made Long-Range Missiles Amid Intensified Russian Assaults
TL;DR
Ukraine has begun using American-made ATACMS missiles against Russian targets, following President Biden's authorization. However, the supply of these missiles is limited, with potentially fewer than 50 available, and the Biden administration's authority to provide military aid may end with the incoming Trump administration. Despite the effectiveness of ATACMS, Ukraine may soon need to rely on its own munitions for deep strikes as political and logistical constraints tighten.
