  1. Some seem to have been intercepted by their targets.

    “On the new missile strike on Crimea

    Ukrainian formations are increasing the intensity of missile strikes on Crimea. In a week and a half, attacks have been carried out on Dzhankoy and Cape Tarkhankut, and tonight – on Simferopol and again on Dzhankoy.

    Over 30 ATACMS operational-tactical missiles were fired during the three missile attacks. Their use has been noted before, but after the official announcement of the new aid package, the AFU is using only ATACMS.

    This night the AFU launched 12 missiles (eight at the airfield in Dzhankoy, four at the airfield in Gvardeyskoye). The sounds of explosions and air defense work were heard by residents in nearby settlements.

    There is no precise information about the area from which the salvo was launched. But with a high probability the launch was made from the Kherson region (when Tarkhankut was hit, the launchers were located in Berislav).
    [Tarkhankut is far west in Crimea about 80 km northwest from Yevpatoria]

    As the May events approach, first of all – the
    **inauguration of the President of Russia,**
    [on Tuesday May 7, May 9 is the usual Fucktory parade,
    but what a hubris to think this Russian “holidays” are interesting, the Russians have to chased away]
    the number of strikes will increase.
    So far, looking at the selected targets, the enemy’s task is to minimize the combat capabilities of air defense units.
    That is why they use ATACMS with a cluster warhead.
    [ATACMS cluster warhead – new Russian narrative, air defense would be secondary,
    preventing missile attacks from Crimea is primary]

    If even the slightest result is achieved, the AFU will switch to the eastern regions of Crimea,
    because in order to carry out strikes on the Crimean bridge, it will be necessary to provide an advantage
    in this part of the peninsula. [He says so]
    Moreover, satellites are actively surveying the vicinity of Feodosia, Kirovske and Kerch. [Russian or US?]”

  3. Fake news! Shoigu says they shot down 50 ATACMS just last night!

  4. Is it silly to ask if ATACMS can be intercepted by air defense? Or have they been?
