The Pentagon says it may transfer ATACMS long-range missiles with a range of about 290 kilometers to Ukraine. UNN reports this, citing UNN and The Wall Street Journal.
Details
Earlier, Pentagon officials insisted that the U.S. Armed Forces should retain all their long-range ATACMS missiles to meet their own military needs.
However, the U.S. Department of Defense is now open to transferring longer-range ATACMS, as the U.S. military can now use next-generation Precision Strike Missiles.
At the same time, the publication stated that it is unknown whether U.S. President Joe Biden will approve the transfer of ATACMS with a longer range than those Ukraine has already received.
Reminder
On Tuesday, March 12, the White House announced a new military aid package for Ukraine, which includes ammunition for HIMARS, missiles for air defense, and other equipment.
