Ukrainian forces have used US-supplied long-range ATACMS missiles for the first time, causing heavy damage to two airfields in Russian-occupied areas. The US has secretly delivered about 20 ATACMS missiles to Ukraine, with the possibility of regular deliveries in the future. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that the weapons had 'proven themselves.' Russian President Vladimir Putin called the supply of ATACMS missiles to Ukraine a mistake but expressed confidence in Russia's ability to repel such attacks. Satellite imagery shows the aftermath of the ATACMS strikes on the airfields, with reports of destroyed or damaged Russian military helicopters.
Oryx analysts say that at least nine Russian helicopters were destroyed when Ukraine used ATACMS missiles to hit airfields in Russian-occupied territory. Another 15 were damaged, possibly beyond repair. https://t.co/6eiz9GfFiH
