Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin urged allied defense leaders Tuesday to “dig deep” and provide more air defense systems for Ukraine, to help the country block increasing barrages of Russian missiles., they appeared no closer to commitments on the longer-range missiles that Kyiv’s leaders insist they need.
But the U.S. has continued to balk, expressing longstanding worries that Kyiv could use the weapons to hit deep into Russian territory and enrage Moscow. The Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, could give Ukraine the ability to strike Russian targets from as far away as about 180 miles , but the U.S. also has other variants of the missile that have a shorter range.
Ukrainian troops began training on similar tanks in June, while the ones arriving soon were being refurbished in the U.S. Nations have been pouring millions of rounds of artillery and other weapons into Ukraine, but worry that their stockpiles are shrinking and the defense industry is struggling to boost production lines. At the same time, Ukrainian forces have beenbreaking through Russian battle lines in a counteroffensive that has not moved as quickly or as well as initially hoped.
