Debut.

This is coolbert:

American hesitancy to send this weapon in the Ukrainian Conflict seems to have vanished!

"Ukraine uses US-supplied ATACMS for the first time, says Zelensky"

From BBC Homepage | article by Robert Greenall & Chris Partridge, weapons analyst | 17 Oct 2023 

"Ukraine has used US-supplied long-range missiles for the first time, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said."

Yeoman service the American ATACMS missile. Depends primarily on INERTIAL GUIDANCE and not GPS. ATACMS relatively if not 100 % immune from jamming?

"His comments follow reports the weapons, known as ATACMS, destroyed nine helicopters at Russian bases in the east of the country. Ukraine has not confirmed the missiles were used."

"Ukraine said an air defense system and other equipment were among the targets hit in Berdyansk and Luhansk."

The great fear of the American administration would be this missile [longer range than the HIMARS system] would present too much temptation for the Ukrainian! Targets within Russian proper those borders as having existed in 2014 being too great and alluring for the Ukrainian to resist laying waste to using ATACMS.

Russian occupied Ukrainian territory to include Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk however NOT exempt from ATACMS engagement. Such has evidently been agreed upon by Zelensky and Biden?
