The United States will transfer ATACMS missiles with a huge range to Kyiv, NBC News reports, citing a source. According to American officials, such weapons will allow Ukraine to “strike further than the Crimean Peninsula.”

We lost two more planes. The reason, frankly, horrified us

On Monday, February 19, our Su-34 and Su-35 were shot down in the air defense zone. All three pilots, unfortunately, died.

We confirm the information of a number of military officers - the planes were shot down as a result of “friendly fire” from our air defense. Moreover, the reason why such fire was opened is very serious.

“The planes were shot down from the S-300 system, the crew of which was in a drunken state. One of the air defense soldiers had a birthday, and he decided to celebrate it with his colleagues.

“Right in the morning and at the combat post. We drank too much, and the result was such a tragedy,” a source in the VKS told us.

And the interlocutor at the General Staff noted that all the soldiers who committed faults had already been interrogated. Perhaps a decision will be made to arrest them.

To be honest, at first we didn’t believe what happened. Now, having received confirmation of this information from several sources, we simply hope that there will be no more similar emergencies at the front.

Kyiv Independent reports:

“The White House is prepared to send Ukraine long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS)

...if Congress approves a new funding package, NBC News reported on Feb. 19, citing unnamed U.S. officials.

After months of deliberation, the U.S. delivered ATACMS missiles to Ukraine in October 2023, but they were an older model with a range of 165 kilometers. Newer variations of ATACMS have a maximum range of around 300 kilometers and have so far not been provided to Ukraine.

U.S. officials told NBC that the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden is prepared to send Ukraine the longer-range ATACMS variation in one of its first aid packages if Congress passes the funding bill.

The officials also said that it was possible the U.S. would ask its allies to provide long-range ATACMS to Ukraine with the expectation that the U.S. would refill depleted stockpiles.”
