U.S.offensive weapons could enable Ukraine to launch “devastating strikes” — aviation expert

This view was shared on Espreso TV by aviation expert Valeriy Romanenko, a senior researcher at the State Aviation Museum.

"I believe we may receive JASSM, at least I hope so. And we could also get ATACMS missiles – ballistic missiles that can be launched up to 300 km from our existing HIMARS and MLRS systems. These would be highly useful for us. The range may be shorter than some others, but it’s still enough to strike deep and hard. There are versions with ranges from 160 to 300 km, depending on the missile type. Of course, we need at least ten times more of these missiles to see real results," Romanenko said.

Romanenko also pointed out that, in terms of quantity, Ukraine should receive at least the same number as was provided with the Storm Shadow missiles. He reminded that 150 Storm Shadows had already made a noticeable impact.

• On July 15, media reported that nearly all U.S. weapons set for purchase by NATO for Ukraine are ready for immediate shipment.
