As Ukraine’s military struggles to restock its long-range missiles, it’s relying on foreign supplies, like the U.K.’s Storm Shadow missiles. On Friday, President Biden agreed to provide a limited supply of the Army Tactical Missile System or ATACMS to Ukrainian forces. These missiles are equipped with a 500-lb class fragmentation warhead and have a max range of about 190 miles.
WSJ explains how ATACMS could speed up Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russia and why the U.S. was initially hesitant to send the weapons.

one of the worst and best things to happen is how war has become increasingly longer ranged. 200 years ago hitting something a mile away was about as far as you could get. then it suddenly increased to tens of miles as artillery came about, and people started dying without ever seeing who was attacking them. now its even crazier. you can't get out of range anywhere on the battlefield. Even people in cities far behind the front aren't safe. On one hand this has resulted in battlefields becoming more dispersed and fewer mass loss of lives, but it also means more civilian casualties and prolonged wars that constantly kill people at a lower level.

Small-correction. Storm Shadows effective range is 340 miles. The UK limits/restricts this for the export versions, however it could send the full-fat model if it chooses. Additionally, Storm Shadow is a stealth-missile that navigates an extremely-low altitude, non-predictable flight-path. It is near-impossible for Russian Air-Defense systems (including S-400) to intercept. It does not need to travel fast if it cannot be tracked/locked onto. The only disadvantage of Storm Shadow is that it is air-launched, and Ukraine has a limited number of compatible airframes.

The most important thing about ATACMS is the ground launch capability which provides surprise attack on enemy's target. The air launch cruise missiles, while very effectively must be launched by aircrafts from certain airfields, so the enemy's spies can give early warning of an impending attack so the enemy's air defense can go on high alert. With ATACMS, the enemy's air defense must be on high alert ALL THE TIME, and thus their effectiveness decreased. This is pyschological warfare which will degrade the defense, especially after the first successful attack....for, who can stay alert 24hours per day.!!
@inoculateinoculate9486
@inoculateinoculate9486 7 місяців тому
Also, relevantly the Ukrainian airforce is almost completely decimated since the start of the war, the type of planes that can carry Storm Shadow is extremely limited, and F16 won't be arriving in numbers for a very long time. Ground forces in trucks, in the other hand, are unlimited, and thus putting these ATACMS in the field is as simple as literally putting them in the field.

It's a frustrating, recurring pattern where Ukrainians ask for specific weapons, the US says no, more suffering ensues, and the US relents... with often a paltry amount that seems like a symbolic gesture: Patriot missiles: one battery. F-16 pilot qualification: initially two Ukrainians pilots trained. Now just a dozen. Cluster bombs: None until the counteroffensive faltered. Then a cache from our supply with the highest DUD rates. ATACMS: Finally, but just "a few". We're dragging our feet because someone has convinced Biden and the Joint Chiefs that a cornered Putin is a a dangerous Putin, so we've been going at this like a couple wanting to get just a little bit pregnant. By now it's clear that Putin has no capability to do any major harm and is reduced to getting artillery shells from North Korea. If he dared attack using nuclear weapons, it'd be the end of Russia as we know it. Could he, in some crazy megalomaniacal last act try to do it? An unlikely maybe, but the rest of the oligarchs with investments, homes in London and Florida and kids going to American Universities, will have different thoughts about that. One nuclear attack and their swanky lifestyle is over.

The best strategy is really to intimidate Putin as much as possible, while still leaving him an offramp - the obvious offramp being that he withdraws from Ukraine. So basically: The United States could definitely do a lot more, and it would not only not increase the risk of a nuclear war, it might even reduce the risk.

Ukraine isn’t going to win nor are they close to winning, the US never wanted them to win they want a stalemate and to drag this out as long as possible to slowly bleed Russia of military equipment/weapons/personnel and money slowly bankrupting them. The US knows they’ll end up fighting Russia and when that time comes Russia will be so weakened they’ll be destroyed easily in a matters of weeks in any convential war against NATO or the collective west as they like to call it. Were talking Iraqi levels of military incompetence in desert storm, that’s how easily they’re corrupt third world/rate military would be defeated. They couldn’t use Nukes either being we have 6K+ of our own, unless they’re suicidal and they’re so poorly maintained n so old from the Cold War who knows of they’re operational or not, and given our intelligence networks and moles inside of Russia (they’re computer systems are fully hacked we read all of Putins emails n messages when he does) we would know if they were planning a nuclear attack. Moscow and St. Petersburg would be turned into massive glass parking lots if they so thought about nuking the west. A Nuclear strike really isn’t an option for Russia so Putin would just have to eat it and suffer a massive military defeat which would be the end of his regime .

Monstrous incompetence. British missiles have a radius of 500 km, but the story said that it was about 300; ATACMS missiles will be delivered in the first modification - this is 160 km, but the story talked about the last fourth modification at 350 km, which will not be supplied since it has only just begun to be made and everything is secret there. TOTAL incompetence

It would help counteroffensive A LOT if the US sent ATACMS to Ukraine 6 months ago... If, in the end, the US will send these anyway, isn't it obvious that sending them earlier would prevent a lot of casualties and would be cheaper in general, too? I'm not sure I get the logic of these delays.

In case you want a serious reply: It is very complicated - Perun made a >1 hour video about it. Basically, you have to think about escalation as a slow stepwise process in a 2D plane (quality and quantity), and the reason for making so many small and slow steps is basically due to politics being slow, peoples opinions and feelings in democracies being important (and many people also being slow in really understanding the importance of the Ukraine war), and some (imho mostly useless) fear of Russias nukes. Overall, it would be a lot better if things had happened faster, but I am still grateful they are happening eventually.

Ordinary Russians don't even care who rules them as long as is someone who rule them like Stalin or Putin. They just follow orders and do not stand up to say no. They few who dare to do it, end up bad. Imagine the corruption in Russia, which luckily helped Ukraine to survive.

Russia can go home and end the war tomorrow. They have the power to bring peace and end their soldiers dying, so better put pressure on them to do that. After all, not even the most deranged tankie would claim Ukraine rolling over to the genocidal fascists would bring any sort of lasting peace.

As an American born in the US who has been in the military several times, I strongly opposed sending ATACMS and PrSM to Ukraine; in fact, sending all these weapons of war to help Ukraine would be asinine and counterintuitive. The US literally spent several trillions of dollars in this war supplying but hasn’t made a single dent, at least in 2023. There’s going to be a time when we have to withdraw and let Russia have Ukraine’s land.

The range + speed is HUGE for Ukraine, they can really mess up the routes (for ammunition/food/medication) and make life very hard for ground troops, also destroy roads/air fields/bridges (Crimera) used for transportation and HIMARS like platforms Russia uses in the back of the battlefield. Hopefully the Russian people will want this war to end ASAP and pull out with the amount of dead soldiers, if not the ATACMS can help gain ground and demoralize both soldiers and Russian civilians.
