The Biden administration intends to send Kyiv a variant of the Army Tactical Missile System, which would enable strikes farther into Russian-held territory.
The Biden administration is close to deciding it will provide Ukraine with a version of ATACMS long-range missiles armed with cluster bomblets rather than a single warhead, according to several people familiar with the ongoing deliberations.Interagency discussions on whether to approve the weapons moved in recent days from the deputies committee, a meeting of representatives of the No.
“As he’s weighed all that up, to date, he has determined that he would not provide ATACMS, but he has also not taken it off the table in the future,” Sullivan said. The Pentagon said at the time that the cluster artillery shells being sent to Ukraine had “dud,” or failure, rates no higher than 2.35 percent, compared to 6 percent or higher in earlier tests. Since Ukrainian forces started using the artillery shells this summer, U.S. officials have hailed that decision as a success, saying the munitions have been an effective tool in a major counteroffensive to dislodge occupying Russian troops.
