ATACMS, FINALLY: According to multiple media reports citing unnamed U.S. officials, President Joe Biden told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during their meeting last week that the United States is ready to send a version of the long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine.
The reports suggest the Pentagon will pull a small number of missiles out of its inventory that are armed with a cluster munitions warhead, which is “no longer considered a front-line U.S. weapon,” to give Ukraine the ability to strike deep behind Russian lines.
“Ukrainian forces are attacking directly into Verbove’s western side. Ukrainian forces are also attacking north of Verbove,” the ISW said. “Russian sources report that Ukrainian forces broke into Verbove on September 22 and continued attacking the settlement with armored vehicles as of September 24.”
“In the early weeks of the invasion, then 247th commander Colonel Konstantin Zizevsky was killed near Mykolaiv,” the assessment said. “The experience of the 247th highlights the extreme attrition and high turnover in Russia’s deployed military, even amongst relatively senior ranks.”Good Monday morning and welcome to Jamie McIntyre’s Daily on Defense, written and compiled by Washington Examiner National Security Senior Writer Jamie McIntyre and edited by Conrad Hoyt.
