@wolf172387 months ago It's funny how Russia is crying about US supplied weapons, and yet they got supplied weapons from North Korea and Iran. 873
@

@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket7 months ago "Why send these if that is the case"
Because these missiles were built to stop Russian aggression and keeping them in storage while people are dying in Europe fighting Russian aggression would be a slap in the face to every tax payer. I know some anti-americans are against providing our allies with aid, I don't care about their opinions they should go back to Europe if they don't know how to be united against a common foe. ... 64

@tringuyen75197 months ago Russia invaded Ukraine & built airbases on Ukrainian territory but are surprised that Ukraine would destroy such airbases??? What? 706
@

@likessox927 months ago missiles built to destroy russian equipment being used to destroy russian equipment, I don't see the issue here. 41
@

@thefamilydud22257 months ago The only problem is how long it took to get Ukraine ATACMs. 33
@

@eurobonus69697 months ago Finally ATACMS. Now F16s quickly for Ukraine. F16s will def be a game changer since RuZZia can't afford more heavy aircraft losses since they won't be able to replenish those losses. 126
@

@alieusannoh41857 months ago This is easy to solve. Russia can easily move back its troops from Ukraine. 33
@

@brandonhultgren57767 months ago Cluster munitions were made for airstrip denial. This is ideal. 129
@

@user9b27 months ago 👏👏👏👏👏 very good 👍
Russian, you are in a country that do not want you there, so get out! 23
@

@cskvision7 months ago Russian airbases in Ukraine turned into craters. And yet the Kremlin whines about "NATO military bases" being built in Ukraine, outside of Russia's borders. That's rich. 14
@

@johnslugger7 months ago A strike within Ukraine is NOT a strike within Russia 4
@

@stevesandgroper32417 months ago Thank you US. I wish they had been delivered sooner but much appreciated. 98
@

@user-cl7xu9pm2t7 months ago All Russians have to do is leave the territory of Ukraine. They could have been still pretending to be "best army in the world" without being humiliated. 118
@

@jerrysmith57827 months ago Just to clarify: The missiles hit a Russian military airfield in Berdyansk in southern Ukraine and another in Lugansk in northeast Ukraine, according to both Russian and Ukrainian officials. 38
@

@stevea29097 months ago Oboy! Russia should stop intercepting missiles with their bases and equipment. You just never know what's going around these days. 24
@

@georl17 months ago It's about time. By holding back on these weapons, the US and its Allies have prolonged this war. Let's hope the US and its Allies keep supplying Ukraine with these and other desperately needed weapons and ammunitions to move this war to a speedier Ukrainian victory. ... 24

@renatob99097 months ago At a time when the enemy has repaired the Kerch bridge, it is time to take it down again 9
@

@transvestosaurus8787 months ago Most cost-effective war America has ever fought. 193
@

@ERSCAUS7 months ago Bravo Ukraine. Well done. Thank you US for doing the right thing. 208
@

@john_wick17 months ago Ukraine is too kind only striking Russian military bases 88
@

@2ugly2holdProduction7 months ago I bet the bridge is next with Atacms 😅 5
@

@Thunderbyrd.7 months ago We need to shift from giving Ukraine weapons to defend themselves to giving them weapons to win the war. Stop worrying about escalating the war and get it over with. Russian isn't worried about escalating the war and no one else should either. The US and NATO is waist deep in this so let's give them the weapons to end and win this thing so these people can start rebuilding their lives. ... 188
@

@joohanigbg7 months ago There are good News and there are GOOD news 💙💛 14
@

@Mark-ml3nv7 months ago How can there be any dithering on this. The missiles are used to strike military targets within Ukraine's own territory. 12
@

@norman45887 months ago It's ironic that the Russians are crying about how Ukrainians attacked their bases while the Russians have been chuckling about how delayed the Ukrainian counteroffensive has been.
Ukrainian appears to have had the final laugh. ... 332
@

@aliancemd7 months ago Actually, Zelensky, in his evening address, said something along the lines of “ATACMS have shown themselves”, so Ukraine itself said it publicly 48
@

@erichert10017 months ago Biden told Putin that the US would support Ukraine if they invaded, Putin chose to ignore that warning. [shrug] 37
@

@myselfandeye38847 months ago It's hypocrisy when the US says that Israel has the right to defend itself without any restrictions and yet put restrictions on Ukraine. If Hamas was as powerful as Russia or if Russia was as weak as Hamas would they be saying the same? ... 72
@

@Caedo127 months ago Poor Russia. Maybe if they GTFO of Ukraine, they wouldn’t get hit. Crazy, right?! 😂 11
@

@Thunder_Dome457 months ago Man, Russia might even condemn the US. That would be horrible. You don't want to get condemned. 24
@

@drgonzo3057 months ago Too bad it took this long to get them? These would’ve been real helpful back in June or august. Better late than never I guess 28
@

@Tiax7767 months ago It seems the missiles were manufactured around '96 - '97 so they were getting to the end of their life-cycle anyways. Better to put them to good use than just scrap them. 19
@

@andrewday32067 months ago The PrSM Precision Strike Missile has almost Double the range of the of the ATACMS we just shipped to Ukraine!
The PrSM will be deployed at the end of this year so it frees up sending the older and shorter range ATACMS to Ukraine ... 15
@

@DrixHound7 months ago "Russia complaining about their airbases being attacked INSIDE Ukraine*
Wow, maybe you SHOULDN'T have airbases inside of occupied Ukrainian territory! Problem solved.🙄 4
@

@moogs7 months ago Russia can avoid these major strikes by leaving Ukraine. 5
@

@wdonwelton7 months ago Russia cannot escalate as they have nothing left to escalate with. 7
@

@thattubesound22147 months ago Russia: "Boo-Hoo! You are fighting back. That's not fair!"
Ukraine: "Get used to it!"
Slava Ukraini! From Champaign, Illinois, USA. 11
@

@TheKakan13377 months ago This is a huge escalation no one talks about that Russia right now is littering military material on a sovereign country. I hope and pray the world can step up and fight against the littering of the Russian Federation and its strategic partner North Korea. ... 76
@

@happyanastasia7 months ago Thank you US people for help. We welcome you with all hospitality and generosity when war is over 16
@

@thomasfarmer86867 months ago Those missels are being phased out. The date on the ones fired was 96 or 97. So theyre about the end of their shelf life any how. So great way to dispose of them instead of paying someone to decommission them. Its a win win. ... 2

@yc_0307 months ago I feel like everyone completely forgot about this war 4

@user-rb8gk7cy6m7 months ago Господи бережи Україну !!!! Смерть ворогам !!!! 12
@

@erichvonmolder93107 months ago I hope to dear God that Russia doesn't complain about these longer range missiles being used, especially being used in the same territory Ukraine once was a part of 600 days ago. 10
@

@HANKTHEDANKEST7 months ago I'm a simple man: I see Russian military losses, I click "like." 12
@

@user-wh4vq2yn8g7 months ago ATACMs hard at work. Although media focus is elsewhere, Ukraine carries on. Maybe it's a good thing they can just get on with it without endless journalism. 3

@Republic4ever7147 months ago Good ! Putin I think has lost his mind! 9

@

@angelgrimm94967 months ago Ukraine has shown it's extremely capable facing Russia. If they have the proper support they will win this war. BTW, they have to... 5
@

@ViralDailySportShorts7 months ago Very good production, I hope to reach your level of production one day soon. 2
@

@GodLovesComics7 months ago ! It's important to support Israel while not ever forgetting about the plight of Ukraine. Both countries are facing savages, and the US must insure that both prevail. ... 3
@

@elijah_93927 months ago It should be noted that the US is in the process of replacing the ATACMS missle with the new PrSM (pronounced prisom). 2
@

@scoleman26207 months ago It’s stupid to worry about escalation,your the greatest country in the world and other countries do not dictate your responses.I would do what I want and if Russia wants war on multiple fronts please feel free to retaliate 😊 ... 4
@

@JTMaster7 months ago Destroyed helicopters AND an ammo depot at the base. Solid first target for ATACMS. 12
@

@markfomenko88737 months ago It's reported elsewhere that the missiles were made in the late 1990s and were almost due for decommissioning. The USA needed to replace them anyway. 3
@

@oz63107 months ago Very poor journalism , main stream feed sources only. 1
@

@stitchcrafter7 months ago This war might already be over, with far less death & destruction had the US given these to Ukraine earlier. So frustrating! 2
