And you believe them why?

Zenlenskyy would like nothing better than to draw other countries into the war.

Ukrainie is hitting targets in Moscow with drones.

Why would they need longer range missiles to hit Russians in Ukraine?

Because Britain and France have already sent comparable missiles, SCALP which have ONLY been used against occupied territories.

I'm sure we can also track the use of these missiles.

Kerch Bridge.

Airfields in Crimea.

Black Sea ports and fleet (what’s left of it having been pulled back, but still capable of hitting Ukie cities.)

Also the rail lines and certain road bridges in occupied SE Ukraine (logistics disruption).

There are way more of these targets than ATACMS* that hit the targets, as some will be shot down, and US did not build a big inventory, as the PrSM (better replacement) deliveries have already begun. I suppose a rough guess would be that in the present environment the US might be willing to send 1 ATACM for every 2 PrSM’s received into US stocks.

*Caveat: Are there other NATO countries’ missiles that will fire from the ATACMS launch pod? Ditto for adaptable South Korean missiles?

The drones you refer to are small, not supplied by NATO, and likely smuggled into Russia and launched there by subversive elements. (Gangsters who’d like to replace the present gangsters, in some cases? P.O.’d ex Wagner?)

Ukraine could certainly launch HIMARS at logistics and other targets across the border from NE Ukraine, but has refrained from doing so.
