About 290 km: Pentagon may provide Ukraine with longer-range ATACMS missiles - WSJ

The Wall Street Journal reported that the US Department of Defense is open to the transfer of longer-range ATACMS.


Earlier, Pentagon officials insisted that the US Armed Forces should retain all of its long-range ATACMS missiles to meet its own military needs.


However, the US Defense Department is now open to the transfer of longer-range ATACMS, as the US military can now use the next generation Precision Strike Missile, US officials say.


They did not say, however, whether US President Joe Biden would approve a longer-range ATACMS transfer than Ukraine has already received.
