The US Edamer named the three types of weapons needed by Ukraine for victory
Ukraine will receive an indisputable advantage on the battlefield if the ATACMS missiles (army tactical missile complex) will find themselves in future military assistance packages. The Himars DaCMS Dala -Substantial Managed Missiles "provide firing power to winning a protracted battle", according to the information of their manufacturer Lockheed Martin. The maximum range of ATACMS used by the United States Army from the early 90's is 300 km, according to the US Center for Procurement.
According to Goodges, ATACMS would allow Ukraine to change a lot on the battlefield. "From Odessa to Sevastopol in a straight line - 300 km, that is, Ukrainians could seek that Sevastopol would be in a disadvantageous position for the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation," Gogess explained. The same applies to a huge logistics hub in Dzhanka, in the northern part of the Crimea.
Thanks to ATCMS, Crimea would no longer be a place that provides support for Russian operations and allows you to strike peaceful Ukrainian citizens. However, as the Deputy Secretary of the Called Cal Defense Policy, which concerns ATACMS, "juice is not worth the squeeze. " "We believe that Ukrainians can change the dynamics on the battlefield and expel the Russians without ATCMS," he explained. Small -sized high -precision GLSDB ammunition is essentially a winged bomb with a radius of 160 km.
It is a GBU-39 bomb hybrid and M26 rocket engine. At the end of November, Reiter reported that the Pentagon was considering the transmission of GLSDB to Kyiv after the Boeing proposal, which produces GLSDB. It is a joint development with SAAB, which describes them as "exceptionally flexible, highly effective and accurate at a long distance. " The ammunition does not have a huge combat unit, however, as the war in Ukraine showed, accuracy is more important than mass.
Even without such a range as at ATACMS, GLSDB shells can accurately affect command points, ammunition depots and important transport units. The most important thing is the ability to destroy supply and command points, GLSDM is a "very cheap" development, and they can also be delivered to Ukrainians quickly. Gray Eagle is the third on the list of required weapons for Ukraine, compiled by Ben Gorsome.
Compared to previous versions of the drone, the shock drone Gray Eagle is able to stay in flight longer and fly at higher height. Gray Eagle provides a long distance operation. Thanks to these drones, Russia will not have time to repair the Crimean bridge, and UAVs can also find places where the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation strikes rocket strokes in the peaceful population.
On November 22, a two -party group of more than ten US senators appealed to US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to review the previous rejection of Gray Eagle supplies to Ukraine, according to The Wall Street Journal. Recall that on January 20, a number of countries will announce the supply of Leopard tanks to Ukraine. This was stated in the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense. Allies in general plan to provide Kiev hundreds of armored vehicles.
