ATACMS: Why Biden Sending Ukraine These Missiles Is a Huge Deal | WSJ Equipped Wall

As Ukraine’s military struggles to restock its long-range missiles, it’s relying on foreign supplies, like the U.K.’s Storm Shadow missiles. On Friday, President Biden agreed to provide a limited supply of the Army Tactical Missile System or ATACMS to Ukrainian forces. These missiles are equipped with a 500-lb class fragmentation warhead and have a max range of about 190 miles.

WSJ explains how ATACMS could speed up Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russia and why the U.S. was initially hesitant to send the weapons.
