Ukraine on Sunday said it received a long-awaited air defense system known as NASAMS and is lobbying for longer-range missiles known as ATACMS.
A defense official said at the time that they would help Ukraine transition away from a Soviet type of air defense system to a modern system used by NATO.
The most advanced U.S.-provided system so far, the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, commonly known as HIMARS, has on Ukraine’s front lines. It has the longest range of Ukraine’s ground weapons, nearly 50 miles, allowing Kyiv’s military to precisely strike Russian targets without endangering its own civilians in occupied territories.Ukrainian officials lobbied for the HIMARS weapons system for two months before the transfer was approved — only on the grounds that Kyiv would not use it to launch cross-border attacks into Russia.
The ATACMS is a tactical missile with an even longer range than those currently being fired from HIMARS launchers — some 180 miles,earlier this month that supplying longer-range weapons would cross a “red line,” drawing the United States into the conflict.last month that Ukraine didn’t require ATACMS to strike targets “that are directly relevant to the current fight.”Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a “partial mobilization” of troops in an address to the nation on Sept.
