A U.S. official shared: "The ATACMS systems will arrive, but Washington's plans to deliver this weapon system may change."

Meanwhile, another US administration official said that the issue of transferring ATACMS "is being discussed" and that the missile could be included in the country's new military aid package for Ukraine.

According to this source, the US has not yet made a final decision and Ukraine may have to wait several more months to receive ATACMS.

ATACMS is a long-range guided missile manufactured by the American arms manufacturer Lockheed Martin.

This type of missile can also be launched from highly mobile artillery rocket systems such as the M270 and M142 HIMARS that Ukraine currently possesses.

The latest versions of ATACMS can hit targets at distances up to 310 km with an accuracy of just 1 meter.

Lockheed Martin estimates that approximately 4,000 ATACMS missiles have been manufactured since the 1980s.

Previously, in July 2022, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stated that the US would not provide ATACMS to Ukraine due to concerns that it would be used to attack Russian territory.
