Politico and New York Times confirmed that Ukraine has received ATACMS missiles from US

Three Western media reported almost simultaneously about the provision of ATACMS missiles to Ukraine. Their reports were heard 12 hours after the Armed Forces General Staff declared a blow to the airfields of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the deep rear. On October 17, the SCSU Fighters reported the destruction of nine Russian military helicopters in temporarily occupied Berdyansk and Lugansk, located 100 km from the territory controlled by Ukraine.

In pro -Russian publications, show fragments of shells, which were found at the site of the impact, at the same time claim that the attack of long -range ATACMS missiles took place. The Western edition of the Wall Street Journal has confirmed the first use of US long -range missiles capable of reaching the Crimean bridge. In a few hours, two more editions were written about the same. Publications in the Western media explored focus.

ATCMS reports appeared on the portals of all three editions almost simultaneously. WSJ journalists wrote about ATACMS on September 17 at 10:14 sometimes or at 17:14 in Kiev. At the same time, similar articles were posted on the Politico portal (at 9:49 for a time or at 16:49 in Kiev) and the New York Times (at 10:19 for a time or at 17:10 in Kiev).

Meanwhile, as the communication Telegram-channel of the General Staff "Stratko of the Armed Forces" wrote about a blow to airfields in the morning at 6:18. Politico points out that Washington sent a few weeks ago secretly sent rockets to Kiev. The journalists learned from two people who are familiar with this step. They also explain why US President Joe Biden, who denied such actions, has changed his decision. The reason is the slow promotion of the Ukrainian counter -offensive.

NYT also refer to two anonymous people in the United States, the report of Ukrainian People's Deputy Alexei Goncharenko and the statements of Russian military. Journalists say that the decision to transfer ATCMS missiles inhibited the white house's fear: the Kremlin was afraid of the use of nuclear weapons due to the crossing of the Red Line Line. However, "this thinking has changed now," the author writes.

A similar information about ATCMS was confirmed by an American official who made a comment on Voice of America. It is indicated that they transferred the "small number" of missiles, but it is not indicated how many.

It should be noted that according to the statements of the SCO soldiers, it was possible to reach the airfields of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in occupied Berdyansk (100 km from the front line near Gulyaipol) and in Lugansk (95 km from the front line under Bakhmut) analytics have suggested that the impact could be caused by two missiles: or or rockets: or British Strom Shadow, or American ATACMS.

At the same time, they reminded that it was officially unknown which variant of American rockets could provide Ukraine. In particular, depending on the variant, these missiles can fly from 165 km to 300 km. Meanwhile, Russian troops published photos with the wreckage of some rockets and indicated that it was like the fragments of ATACMS. The video shot from the night shock along the airfield near Berdyansk, you can see two rags that were burning at the site of possible arrivals.

It should be noted that the Armed Forces General Staff did not confirm the use of long -range pentagon arsenals. We remind, in Skadovsk, 60 km from the front line, on October 17, explosions were also occurred. According to the guerrillas, there could be an hit on the place of base of officers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, a few hours earlier, the head of the Press Center "South" told about the successful workout of Ukrainian artillery in the south.
