Deep dives

Impact of Increased Military Capacity on Ukraine

The recent lifting of restrictions allows Ukraine to use advanced American weapons, particularly ATACMS missiles, to target critical Russian logistical assets. These weapons can strike up to 200 miles, enabling Ukraine to disrupt Russian supply routes, especially around strategic locations like Kursk and Pokrosk. Although the impact on Russian air power may be minimal since most jets are already beyond the missile's range, this development helps Ukraine consolidate its defense. The primary objective is to hinder Russia's ability to deliver military resources effectively, thus supporting Ukraine's ongoing resistance.
