The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) should not wait for new large deliveries of operational-tactical missiles ATACMS from the United States, CNN reported, citing Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder.
‘The US has made it clear that Kiev should not expect another large delivery of ATACMS missiles due to the limited number of such missiles in US warehouses and the long production time of these weapons,’ CNN said in a statement.
Pat Ryder said Kiev has a limited stockpile of US-provided long-range missiles.
According to him, many of Ukraine’s targets in Russia are beyond the range of ATACMS. We are talking, first of all, about aircraft launching planning bombs.
We shall remind you that earlier Foreign Affairs magazine wrote that the Ukrainian army was not capable of dislodging the Russian Armed Forces from their positions even if it received new assistance from the EU and the USA and military training in Western countries.
