Long-Range ATACMS Secretly Handed to Ukraine Loom over Crimea Bridge (newsweek.com)

Ukraine has already used fresh long-range missiles secretly provided by the U.S. in Russian-controlled Crimea, according to a U.S. official, raising questions about the fate of the key Crimean Bridge that has long been in Kyiv's sights.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Wednesday that President Joe Biden had authorized sending a "significant number of ATACMS missiles" to Ukraine in February.

They were part of a $300 million aid package announced in mid-March, and they have already arrived in Ukraine for use within Ukraine's borders, he said. "We've already sent some, we will send more now that we have additional authority and money," Sullivan said.

The U.S. had already provided medium-range versions of ATACMS missiles, also known as the U.S. military's Army Tactical Missile System, which Ukraine debuted in a dramatic strike on two Russian airbases in Moscow-controlled Ukraine in October 2023.

ATACMS have long featured high up on Ukraine's aid wish list, giving Kyiv's troops the firepower to strike high-value Russian assets far behind the frontlines. They beef up Ukraine's long-range capabilities, alongside newly-committed batches of British Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles.
