Ukraine will receive new missiles with a range of 300 kilometers, Voice of America journalist Miroslava Gongadze reported on X, referring to an anonymous high-ranking source in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to her, a high-ranking official from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that the military leadership of Ukraine held a meeting with the military leadership of the allies. As a result of the meeting, it was agreed that the pace of arms supply to Ukraine would not decrease, and new missiles with a range of 300 kilometers would be delivered in January of next year.

Currently, Ukraine operates the Franco-British Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG air-launched cruise missiles having an operational range of 550 km, and the US-supplied M39 ATACMS Block I tactical ballistic missiles – the earliest variant of the MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System, having the range of 165 km. The unnamed missile cannot be the Swedish-German 500+ km range Taurus KEPD 350 air-launched cruise missile, which Ukraine has been requesting but Berlin consistently refuses to supply. If Gongadze’s report is confirmed, Ukraine may probably receive one of the newer variants of ATACMS. Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced the US plans to supply more ATACMS ballistic missiles to Ukraine and to continue delivering long-range missiles in the future. However, the minister did not specify which missile variants are to be transferred.
