Hundreds of Russian military installations remain within range of the US ATACMS long-range missiles. Ukraine could hit them if the US allows the missiles to be used on Russian territory.

While Russian forces have moved aircraft out of range of Western-supplied Storm Shadow and ATACMS missiles, a significant number of Russian military installations remain within range of Western weapons, the Institute for the Study of War reports.

The restrictions on strikes allow Russian troops to use safe havens deep in Russia to support military operations against Ukraine. Numerous Western media reports indicate that the US government is blocking Britain from granting Ukraine permission to use Storm Shadow missiles to strike military targets in Russia.

The Institute's experts have created an interactive map of military installations near the border to illustrate how partners are limiting Ukraine's ability to strike enemy critical military infrastructure. The redeployment of Russian aircraft from 16 Russian air bases in the ATACMS area does not diminish the importance of allowing Ukraine to use ATACMS against hundreds of other Russian military installations.

Although Russian forces have moved aircraft beyond the range of Western-supplied Storm Shadow and ATACMS missiles, a significant number of Russian military installations remain within range of Western weapons.
