Impact of U.S. Weapons in Ukraine

The recent decision by the Biden administration to authorize the use of U.S. weapons in attacks on Russian targets has stirred discussions regarding its potential impact on the battlefield in Ukraine. Experts indicate that the effectiveness of longer-range missiles, such as the ATACMS, depends heavily on their availability and quantity. Although there have been successful strikes on Russian air defense systems and airfields, concerns remain about the inventory limits of these weapons and Russia's ability to intercept them. Thus, while these weapons are significant, they are not a definitive game changer in the ongoing conflict.
