British newspaper names number of American ATACMS missiles near Kyiv
The British newspaper The Times reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces currently have about 50 American long-range ATACMS missiles at their disposal.
According to the publication, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have a sufficient number of HIMARS and MLRS M270 to launch such missiles.
However, the publication draws attention to the fact that the missiles themselves remain in short supply for Kiev, writes the TASS agency, which has reviewed the article.
Let us recall that a few days ago, the American newspaper The New York Times, citing its own sources, reported that Joe Biden approved Ukraine’s use of ATACMS to strike Russian territories.
On Tuesday, November 19, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that on the night of the 19th, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the Bryansk region with these missiles.
Five of them were shot down by Pantsir and S-400 systems, and another was damaged.
For reference
ATACMS is a solid-fuel tactical surface-to-surface ballistic missile produced by the American company Lockheed Martin.
