☆ The US secretly slipped ATACMS to Ukraine with more to come, putting high-value Russian targets in danger

Kyiv used these long-range missiles to batter Russian helicopters in multiple strikes last year. T South Korean Defense Ministry via Getty ImagesThroughout the war, Ukraine has routinely pressed Washington to provide ATACMS so it could hit high-value Russian targets deep behind enemy lines. Kyiv used the M39 ATACMS variant in those attacks. Regardless of the variant, the arrival of additional ATACMS will likely compel Moscow to change its strategy and tactics. While the statement did not specifically mention ATACMS, it said the package contains "additional ammunition" for the HIMARS, which could include ATACMS.

☆ US Army tests new missile set to replace ATACMS, weapons Ukraine has used to punish Russia's helicopter fleet

The Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) program is expected to give a boost to field artillery units. The Army says PrSM will extend the range of ATACMS, which Ukraine has used with great success. During a demonstration last week at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, the missile cleared a production qualification test flight.

"The excuse often cited to not sending" the 186-mile range ATACMS "is that there are not many to spare in the US inventory," Rice told Business Insider.

☆ Russia's going to have to make hard choices now that Ukraine has deadly ATACMS cluster missiles, experts say
  + stars: | 2023-11-01 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Moscow will have to weigh how to best protect its vulnerable targets without limiting their usage. "If these helicopters are now pulled out of ATACMS range entirely, this will significantly limit the amount of time they can be deployed in front line action," he said. Alternatively, as it has done in other situations, Moscow may push vulnerable assets to locations beyond the range of Ukraine's ATACMS. In any capacity, advocates have asserted that the deadly missiles can help Ukraine put even more pressure on Russia's valuable targets in the rear. Ukraine is going to one-by-one take out all the high-value Russian targets in occupied Ukraine."

☆ US-made ATACMS cluster missiles could give Ukraine's HIMARS the power to punish Russia's artillery and 'cut off' its army, former US artillery officer says

One variant that could help Kyiv is the M39 cluster missile, which has nearly 1,000 submunitions. Rice has lobbied for Washington to send cluster munitions since July 2022, and his efforts have also focused on cluster rockets and missiles. Fewer of these were produced compared to the older M39 cluster variant, military research indicates. That's what ATACMS cluster missiles will help do, he said. With longer-range M39 ATACMS missiles packed with far more explosive submunitions, this becomes even more of a deadly challenge for Moscow's army.

☆ HIMARS changed the game in Ukraine, but a former US artillery officer says what they need now is a firepower boost with M26 cluster rockets
  + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
HIMARS rockets proved to be a game-changing weapon for Ukraine when they arrived last year. Now they need is a firepower boost from M26 cluster rockets, a former US artillery officer says. For this reason, HIMARS rockets aren't used against individual Russian artillery pieces and are instead fired sporadically at higher-value targets, Rice said. A top Pentagon official said last month that Russia's cluster munitions, by comparison, have a dud rate of up to 40%.
