U.S. President Joe Biden has agreed to provide Ukraine with advanced rocket systems that can strike with precision at long-range Russian targets as part of a $700 million weapons package expected to be unveiled on Wednesday.
The United States is providing Ukraine with high mobility artillery rocket systems that can accurately hit targets as far away as 80 km (50 miles) after Ukraine gave "assurances" they will not use the missiles to strike inside Russia, senior administration officials said.

It doesn’t say what it was, but I think it is either M270 or M142.
Both have benefits.
M142 rocket pod is mounted on a truck so Ukrainians won’t have to deal with learning to drive or supply a tracked armored vehicle. Plenty of people who can drive or service a truck.
M270 might be better domestically as most of these are going to be retired anyway so sending these is just an “accounting loss”.
The war with Russia will be the demorats only chance. And, the plan is progressing nicely. Biden is enabling Ukraine to strike the Russian homeland. An act certain to yield a devastating response, possibly nuclear, from Putin. Zelensky is a the demorats pawn, still.
Yup!
Then they can drag out the argument, “You have to keep the president in office during times of war.”
Yet ANOTHER game changer, I guess.
“An act certain to yield a devastating response, possibly nuclear, from Putin.”
Until we give them longer range munitions, ones that can reach large Russian cities from Ukraine, the Neocons won’t get the nuclear war that they’re DEMANDING from Russia. Instead, Russia will simply LEVEL the rest of Ukraine with conventional weapons.
Bummer for the Neocons.
The blackhole named Ukraine still sucking everything into it....
This is the result of insane leadership! Ours.
Why do we keep telling them what we are going to do???
He held back til they guaranteed him kickbacks
WW3 just in time for the midterms
Biden & Co. has to act like he is doing his best to avoid a War he de$perately wants to get the US into.
FDR cutting off supplies to the Japanese. Can Pearl Harbor be next?
We should be sending weapons to Canadians to overthrow their government instead
The Ukraine's borders have shifted like sandbars over the centuries. The 1991 borders are the result of an historical accident with the collapse of the USSR.
Its borders are just as artificial and unsustainable as the borders of Yugoslavia, created in 1918, 4 years before Vladimir Lenin transferred the Russian Donbass to the Ukraine SSR, inside of the USSR.
This never mattered until 1991, and now we are risking Nuclear World War 3 over these insane bogus borders.
In such layout it is largely inferior to the Smerch MLRS Ukraine already has.

Keep screwing around with Putin. He will release some records and recordings biden may not be able to just say debunked. Or russian disinformation.
“In such layout it is largely inferior to the Smerch MLRS Ukraine already has.”
I was wondering, thanks. Did you hear that Ratheyon got a contract for $625M to resupply the Stinger Missiles we gave to Russia (via Ukraine). They’ll start deliveries in 2025. That will teach Putin!
