Here's What We Know

According to the Minister, Ukraine has managed to agree with the USA on the supply of long-range missiles on a permanent basis. This was the result of negotiations between Volodymyr Zelensky and Joe Biden at the end of last month.

A few days ago, the Armed Forces used ATACMS for the first time. The targets were airfields in Berdyansk and Luhansk. The day before, a video appeared showing the launch of six tactical ballistic missiles at once.

The US transferred to Ukraine a small batch of ATACMS BLK 1 SN. 411240. It includes up to 20 missiles. This version has a cluster warhead with M74 submunitions (950 pieces). The maximum launch range is 165 kilometres.
