- Ukraine's military has used the US-provided long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) for the first time.
In his nightly address, President Zelensky confirmed that the ATACMS "have proven themselves".
The missiles, which can strike targets 100 miles or more away, are believed to have been used against a military airfield in Berdiansk and another one in the Luhansk region - destroying nine Russian military helicopters, an anti-aircraft missile system and an ammunition warehouse.
In this video, Simon Newton explains how the arrival of ATACMS could impact the war in Ukraine.

Ukraine needs more of these and more himars ❤
It definitely has! @@jimmyyates3510
@@jimmyyates3510 It has killed tens of thousands of Russian soldiers and destroyed thousands of Russian vehicles and equipment.
@jimmyyates3510 Ukraine has liberated half of everything lost, made the Black Sea fleet retreat, and is bombing Moscow now. Yeah they're working send more.
@@jimmyyates3510over 700 days into a special military operation and the fighting is nowhere near Kyiv, there’s your answer.
you're 100% a bot.
I don't think they arrived "just on time." They should have been sent a year ago.
I just checked and Ukraine hasn't paid for any of their military or social borrowings just yet. It is time to discuss transfer to deeds to USA, UK and few others so they are bring their accounts back into good standing.
@@TheMVCohodid you check Russian news sources that always talk about the US and UK?
@TheMVCoho Russia is picking up the tab - for the next 100 years.
Yes, as well as the aircraft, long overdue
@@bruceradzthey're literally paying with blood
If helicopters and aircraft have to locate further from the front, not only will it mean they can spend less time at the front, but also more fuel will be wasted in transit rather than in combat.
Slava Ukraine
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️❤️❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤️❤️
Atacms and all of the abrams have arrived. Switchblade 600s and GLSDBS are supposed to arrive any day too. So the Ukrainians will have some much needed new firepower.
Abrams arrived long ago but Ukraine doesn't have any advances for them to join, just embarrasing retreats.
Switchblade was there a year ago - what happened?
will it change the tie of the war?
@@InterStelarVoid 15 months too late for that. 450k Ukrainians dead, they have dragged all the dumb idiots out of their homes that they can find. Down to the last 50k or so troops.
@@antique-bs8bbAbrams haven't shown up on the battlefield yet.
@@InterStelarVoidNo, Abrams alone won't do it. There's not nearly enough of them for one.
Let’s hope they use it to great effect
They have, destroying nine helicopters and other things.
It was actually 5 and it is what it is. Russians will adapt and continue. Retaliation will be pretty bad, considering delivering atacms escalates and increases threats considering it can carry a nuclear warhead. Russia will take this pretty seriously
@@Stockfish1511they will cry and Moan as that’s all they can do
@Stockfish1511 oh they'll take this seriously like every other time they said the next shipment would be an escalation and they might nuke but end up doing absolutely nothing about it. All Russia has are threats. Threats we simply ignore and do what we want anyway. We are still waiting for the them to retaliate for sinking the Moskva
@@Stockfish1511 satellite imagery came out today and confirmed it was actually 12 helicopters completely destroyed and three more probably damaged beyond repair.
Russia’s panicking over the ATACMS missiles that’s good VERY good!!!
Watch putins conference today, he doesn't look bothered at all lol. Russia won't lose this war, its just being prolonged by the west. Hopefully I'm wrong
@@KOPITE8989 putin conference 😃like old commecon stuff from 1980s, even Orban turned up for the old nostalgia, thats why Putin happy he thought he was back in the old days . Unfortunately for Putin his army is getting hit by modern 21 century precision weapons, he is still playing around with the old Soviet stuff
@@KOPITE8989he’s already crying about it.
@@joesod your underestimating them
@khightofjustice2828 he's not desperate at all, he just doesn't want a bigger war and that's what all this is building up to
Putin thinks he can Relax now and Troll Israel 😂
And china, they said israel is indiscriminately bombing gaza. So what has russia been doing all year? Honestly how do people take world leaders serious anymore they are all an absolute disgrace to humanity
Thanks America.
Simple
While Ukraine only has a few Su-24 that can use Storm Shadows, they have 60 plus western MLRS that can use ATACMS which allows Ukraine to strike Russian forces far more effectively
Since the US is giving missiles with BLU-97/B Combined Effects Bomb payload. That means each missile can cover a large area
That means whole positions can be struck at once
I sure hope that they can do enough damage to rival that of the initial HIMARS deployment. Looks that way if an entire airfield was devastated! We can only hope that this can open a path for Ukraine's counter offensive to advance once they have blunted Russia's counter offensives.
@@quinnjackson9252I don't think Ukraine will have ATACMS in quantity necessary to rival the impact GLMRS had when the entered the war, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
@@LunaticTheCat They were sent in secret, so who knows. I don't think that they have many, but they have proven themselves extremely effective against high profile targets, and it would only take a few more strikes of that magnitude to gave a significant impact on not just one area of the battlefield, but the entire war.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Go Ukraine 🇺🇦
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦💪💪🇦🇺💙💛
Excellent news.
Send them a lot more.
Give Ukraine a 1000 of them.
haha - give them 1000 155 shells if you have them. 1000 Atacms, that is funny.
you wish
@@rogeliovelasquez9094 Just how many 155 shells do you think US makes a month - about 4 days of Ukrainian fire rate.
You think it is any better for Atacms? MIC makes it money on designing stuff that will never be used. It invests zero into surge capacity.
Lots of money being made in this war.
US has wide variety of weapons
🚀🚀🚀
BADa BOoM
Only the m39 ranger 165 km not the full fat version
Hey Putin, let's swap ballistic missiles. Your turn.
Putins been using them all along, where have you been
Slava Ukraine
Well done Ukraine and thank you US for delivering ATACMS albeit a bit late. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧
I wonder how many of them Ukraine has now.
that is a lot of money
Please use metric units (international audience).
Those are American made weapons. They are programmed in freedom units. Deal with it😎
They're made in the USA and the UK also uses miles. It's not that hard 1 mi - 1.62 km.
LOL, I always get a kick when I hear, "fear of escalating tensions with russia". Srsly? That'll be like a 5-year-old escalating a fight with in -his-prime Mike Tyson.
they need this stuff en masse to make a difference. not 20
True, though also anything is better than nothing. Especially when the existing launchers can fire it, I think the initial results will show the US that they are not a bad investment to send. They will lay waste to airbases that's for sure
So does that mean we can send f35s for Ukraine to help with there border patrol problem 🎉🎉🎉
After watching putin inviting Biden to russia for tea and pancakes, I think putin is clearly not happy. Nobody invites Mr burns for tea and pancakes lol
Hope they will show when its blown up😂
They did. Didn't you see the blown up orc helicopter?
Whose genius idea was this to give them these missiles. That puts us one step closer to WW3
make sure putin doesn't knock on your door for fear of ww3, but then it will be too late...
No it doesn't. Stop with the nonsense. If Ukraine falls and Russia hits a NATO country say Poland, then WW3 will start. This moves WW3 away from the goal post.
Unfortunately with Republicans blocking additional ukraine funding and current funding running out...use these missles wisely, might be the last shipment for a while.
Keep politics out of this…… no one wants to hear your opinion. At least we have people looking at reality and not some fantasy “complete” victory for Ukraine. One FACT is that, at best Ukraine is justified to fight to regain territory that was taken last year. Anything prior to that, where nothing was done is lost for good. The ONLY end to this is a negotiated agreement with new borders and eventually NATO membership for Ukraine. There is no other option short of a never ending war or an eventual nuclear exchange.
I actually wonder how Army accounting regards these missiles. They were slated for destruction, so do they even incur a cost against the presidential drawdown authority budget?
lmao they will never reach crimea, they should focus elsewhere that isn't heavily defended
Ukrainian attacks already reached Crimea multiple times. Get updated.
Another prop. Just like Leopards nd HIMARS.
Well this “prop” just took out a helicopter base in one strike….
Tell that to the mothers of the Russians that were just blown up by them.
Everything is a game changer. 😹😹😹
We know whose winning. 😹😹😹
@@shalilhamid1103 Russia can't be winning when it only holds 15% of Ukraine. Don't kid yourself
Zelensky needs to learn how to keep his mouth shut.
He really should…… gloating serves no purpose other than to help rally the Russian population which you want to turn on their government at some point.
@@Grouse2275
I was born in the USSR and in my opinion the West and Russia need to go their separate ways.
Why? The Russians have the leftovers of the missiles, including the parts with the data: model, serial number, etc.
Everyone knows those were ATACMS M31A1 missiles. The Russians also have some of the unexposed cluster munitions.
This will be blow up too by russians
Yeah, and well, there are several rules which are not supposed to be doing what those, and you're broken them like, what's the point of even send you them, and you're gonna break the worlds with them, we told you you weren't supposed to do that with them. And what do you do start talking talking to homeland of Russia?
If the USA/ US Military wanted to keep it a secret, then the USA would have removed all of the identifying things, like the painted on model number, serial number, etc. All of that stuff was on the missile parts the Russians now have. It is also no secret the USA was going to give ATACMS to Ukraine.
