Because Ukraine is the dumping ground for us to give away our old stuff. ‘We’ aren’t using anything there...
Nothing replaced it for a while, they just sat in inventory. We don’t use them for anything more than yearly test fires type stuff. The new Precision strike missile is currently replacing it, and the army’s long-range hypersonic guy is supposed to add even more range once fielded as well
“Precision strike missile”
Thanks didn’t know about that. Good to see we had something to replace them with (even if it took 30 years to finally decide to replace them). But from what I read, the ATACMs were our top weapon, at least at the start of the Ukraine War, and probably still are, until productions of the new missile is able to ramp up.
