KYIV. Jan 19 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The time has come for the transfer of American ATACMS long-range missile systems to Ukraine, adviser to the head of the President’s Office of Ukraine Mykhailo Podoliak has said.
"Long-range missiles will allow 🇺🇦 to effectively destroy Russia’s logistics on occupied territories: rear warehouses, equipment, command posts. Also, to save lives of our soldiers and disrupt the architecture of Russian offensive. The time for ATACMS has come. What are we waiting for?" he said on Twitter.
U.S. ATACMS have a range of destruction of objects at a distance of up to 300 kilometers and a flight speed of 1.5 kilometers per second.
