Has Ukraine run out of ATACMS long-range missiles?

Ukraine is reportedly running out of ATACMS long-range missile systems, supplied by the US, in its arsenal amid Russia's growing dominance on the battlefield.

The Associated Press, citing unnamed U.S. and Ukrainian officials, reported that the U.S. had sent Ukraine a total of approximately 40 long-range ATACMS missiles. However, officials said Ukraine had used up all of its ATACMS missiles by January.

Ukrainian and US officials have not commented on the information.

Ukraine first received older, shorter-range versions of the ATACMS in the fall of 2023. By the spring of 2024, the US began supplying improved models with a range of up to 300 km.

This raises questions about Ukraine's ability to continue using ATACMS to strike deep inside Russian territory, even if Washington transfers more missiles to Kyiv.
