Used last night: Pentagon confirmed the application of the Armed Forces of Triple ATACMS

According to US Defense Ministry Representative Charlie Dzes, the decision to grant Ukraine ballistic missiles was made at the instructions of President Joe Biden. The rockets were sent to the security reasons. Last night, Ukraine applied the DarACMS Dar Dar Dariers, which were delivered to it in March as part of assistance from the United States. This was reported by Pentagon Charlie's Pentagon Dr. Voice Agency.

A high -ranking White House official told the publication that the decision to grant Ukraine ballistic missiles was made at the instructions of President Joe Baiden. He stressed that this weapon was sent to Ukraine for use on its territory by Baiden's decision and included in the defense assistance package, announced on March 12. For safety reasons, this missile transfer was not announced "at the request of Ukraine".

The White House has taken this step after Russia has used the Ballistic Missions set by the DPRK against Ukraine, as well as after a series of attacks on civil infrastructure in Ukraine. Earlier, the United States stated that they could not provide Ukraine with a long -range ATACMS missiles because of a possible threat to their own security. However, in January, the Pentagon purchased new ATACMS missiles, so the old stocks were transferred to Ukraine.

Several US publications have previously reported that ATACMS missiles in the United States are probably limited. This explained why Washington sent Ukraine a small number of missiles of the average radius of action last fall, equipped with cassette ammunition. Earlier, Reuters reported that these missiles ATACMS were used on March 17. According to an unnamed official with the United States, Ukraine's defense forces used them to blows on the facilities of the Armed Forces in the occupied Crimea.
