The U.S. will not be providing Ukraine with long-range missiles amid Russia's invasion, with the Pentagon believing the precision-guided missile systems already provided are "the most relevant munitions for the current fight."
Speaking to reporters Wednesday after President Joe Biden announced an additional $3 billion in military aid to Ukraine, Defense Under Secretary Colin Kahl said long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) munitions, which are capable of hitting targets at a distance of more than 280 kilometers, are not currently needed.
Since June, the U.S. has provided 16 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), which have played a vital part in Ukraine's ability to fight off the Russian invasion. Currently, Ukraine fires Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS) from HIMARS, which have successfully targeted key Russian military targets such as command posts and ammunition depots.
Ukraine has also called for further support by way of potentially hundreds more HIMARS systems, which can also be used to fire ATACMS munitions, that the U.S. has so far not agreed to.
Kahl said during Wednesday's press conference that the GMLRS provided by the U.S., which have a range of around 70 to 80 kilometers, are still the best form of attack for Ukraine, rather than the longer-ranged ATACMS.

“I DO have mental health experience, dummy.”
No doubt!
And I’m still waiting for Russia’s new attack ... LMAO!
Everyone knows it. There's talk about why the Russians are kid-gloving them.
And they're still at work on this thread, doing exactly that.
Yeah waiting for Russia to spring its “trap”:
This is an obvious Russian trap

“NATO personnel are in Lvov.”
they have no facts or logical reasoning that supports their insane accusation.
Life is a trap then - LoL!
“They have oil and gas so they are always going to be a player. But if they are militarily weak then why do we need NATO? Can we just shut it down finally?”
Well, there you have it. Does Moscow have oil and gas or do the republics and provinces have it? Moscow uses strong arm tactics to maintain control over the oil industry. All those provinces would likely want to keep the oil profits for themselves. And now that the Russian military, the thugocracy’s strong arm, is badly damaged events will naturally unfold.
Post the source.
BTW - Happy Birthday, yesterday!
ansel12 (NATO warrior under Reagan, and RA under Nixon, bemoaning the pro-Russians from Vietnam to Ukraine.)You are bemoaning not debating.
And the 2020 election in the US was TOTALLY CLEAN and fair, with no vote fraud at all.
Should people call you a Soros, Klaus Schwab, Biden, Globo-homo troll? There are two sides of the control of this conflict. Both are bad. The citizens on both side are the ones harmed. I don’t think the soldiers on either side even know what they are really fighting for. They are just following orders. The Soros, Klaus Schwab, Globalist control, EU, 95% population reduction people are behind the Ukraine side...just so you know.
No, you still don’t have a source for your claims.
That missile attack in March was against a Ukraine base, no NATO.

You appear to be claiming that there are zero NATO personnel in the Ukraine.
Is that true?
Should people call you a Soros, Klaus Schwab, Biden, Globo-homo troll?People in general? The Putin Stooges do frequently.
There are two sides of the control of this conflict. Both are bad.Russia is invading Ukraine.
The citizens on both side are the ones harmed. I don’t think the soldiers on either side even know what they are really fighting for.The citizens of Russia largely support Putin's Terror Invasion of Ukraine.
The Soros, Klaus Schwab, Globalist control, EU, 95% population reduction people are behind the Ukraine side...just so you know.Just so you know... That is paranoid and crazy. You could say the same meaningless crazy bs about the USA.
I asked you for a source for your claim that NATO is in Ukraine, that isn’t an argument, just prove your claim that the United States/NATO is in Ukraine.
You mean "crazy" things like a FBI/democRAT/communist Russia Collusion hoax against Trump?
You mean "crazy" things like a FBI/democRAT/communist Russia Collusion hoax against Trump?Huh?
The wide-eyed Bart Simpson innocent act would work if you weren't an old guy like me.
"Didn't have US/NATO personnel in the Ukraine, didn't see me have US/NATO personnel in the Ukraine, can't prove that US/NATO personnel are in the Ukraine"
And there was TOTALLY no vote fraud in the US in 2020.
I know this because a pooka named Harvey told me this.
