To be clear, the article makes it sound like they can only attack Kursk
so we have only 2 month to enjoy it I suppose
Holy fuck, finally
Better late than never I guess.
How much can reach Moscow?
Had a word with Xi Jinping me thinking
ATACMS is actually a short range missile (~200mi). Stormshadow/SCALP is slightly shorter ranged. While this will force Russia to move ammunition and supply depots back, and is a long overdue move, don’t expect strikes deep into Russia with any NATO munitions provided so far.
Good, and now kill the archer not only the arrow! Happy hunting! Slava Ukraini!
About damn time
About god damn time
Only in Kursk
Russia is going to have a really bad time for the next few months.
Now let’s get started 👍
Good.
Let it rain.
I hope Putin wanders to within range of one.
This is clownishly performative since the article states that Ukrainians are allowed to use long-range strikes which end up hitting only Kursk oblast. Now that it’s in the open, te natural response would be for the Russians merely to pull back their forces and ammo dumps to the neighboring oblasts north and east of Kursk.
>The officials said that while the Ukrainians were likely to use the missiles first against Russian and North Korean troops that threaten Ukrainian forces in Kursk, Mr. Biden could authorize them to use the weapons elsewhere.
Note the last phrase “*Mr. Biden could authorize them to use the weapons elsewhere*”.
Don’t expect either the Engels-2 airbase near the banks of the Volga River with its squadrons of Tupolev bombers and racks of cruise missiles to become cratered by a bunch of ATACMS or similar.
FYI: This airbase is about 700 km east of Kharkiv.
Fuck Them UP!
let them cry
Good he finally unleashed the Kraken.
Get them over there asap before Trump gets in and say sorry for what happened and it won’t happen again.
Jake Sullivan fading into irrelevance. Slava Ukraine.
Can’t wait for videos tomorrow.
Give them hell, heroes!!
>to **help defend** its forces in the **Kursk region**
Fucking pussy. The dude will be out of politics for good come next year and he’s still hellbent on not letting Ukraine kill the archer, not the arrow.
I guess the cluster variant of the ATACMS will still be a welcome addition to the Kursk frontline, given the 50k Ruzzian-NK troops amassed there, but still.
jesus christ what the fuck took so long. a god damn shame.
FUCK YES
When boom?
Showing on BBC and Reuters!
Orc season! Good hunting, Ukraine!🇺🇦
Yippee kiyay mother fuckers
Seems like they should have announced it after hitting a few targets first- i hope they can take out some drone factories
Should this also mean permission for StormShadow & Scalp? I believe the US were the ones holding up permission on those weapons
For those with a paywall, here’s the article;
Biden Allows Ukraine to Strike Russia With Long-Range U.S. Missiles With two months left in office, the president for the first time authorized the Ukrainian military to use the system known as ATACMS to help defend its forces in the Kursk region of Russia.
Nov. 17, 2024Updated 1:51 p.m. ET A missile is launched from the ground with a fiery trail across a blue sky. Mr. Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to use Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, came in response to Russia’s decision to bring North Korean troops into the fight.John Hamilton/White Sands Missile Range, via Associated Press President Biden has authorized the first use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine for strikes inside Russia, U.S. officials said.
The weapons are likely to be initially employed against Russian and North Korean troops in defense of Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region of western Russia, the officials said.
Mr. Biden’s decision is a major change in U.S. policy. The choice has divided his advisers, and his shift comes two months before President-elect Donald J. Trump takes office, having vowed to limit further support for Ukraine.
Allowing the Ukrainians to use the long-range missiles, known as the Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, came in response to Russia’s surprise decision to bring North Korean troops into the fight, officials said.
Mr. Biden began to ease restrictions on the use of U.S.-supplied weapons on Russian soil after Russia launched a cross-border assault in May in the direction of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.
To help the Ukrainians defend Kharkiv, Mr. Biden allowed them to use the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, which have a range of about 50 miles, against Russian forces directly across the border. But Mr. Biden did not allow the Ukrainians to use longer-range ATACMS, which have a range of about 190 miles, in defense of Kharkiv.
