Without and with ATACMS missiles: a military observer modeled two counteroffensive scenarios

Joe Biden promised another military aid package for Ukraine, but there was no mention of ATACMS long-range missiles. At the same time, he could discuss this with Volodymyr Zelensky behind closed doors.

However, we will be able to find out about this over time. Such an opinionChannel 24military observer Denis Popovich voiced.

Counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine without and with ATACMS missiles

The military observer simulated two scenarios of the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine – without and with long-range ATACMS missiles. So, if we take the action of HIMARS, then now Ukrainian soldiers can strike from Kherson for 82 kilometers.

That is, shells can reach approximately the village of Chaplynka, Kherson region, a little short of reaching the Crimean Isthmus. At the same time, if GLSDB guided bombs are used for 150 kilometers, which we have already been promised to deliver, then the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to reach the northern parts of the Crimean peninsula.

Now let's double this distance and we will see to which regions of Crimea the conditional ATACMS will reach, if we ever receive them, – the military observer noted.

In his opinion, our state will receive long-range missiles, if not from the United States, then from Great Britain. Thus, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak during the Munich Conference on February 17-19 stressed that the issue of long-range weapons for Ukraine would be resolved.

Most importantly, ATACMS missiles will allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to take fire control of the Crimean Isthmus. Moreover, if our soldiers cannot destroy the Kerch bridge, they will definitely control it with fire.

Soon, the Armed Forces of Ukraine may launch a new counteroffensive

• Military expert and reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Roman Svitan suggested that our defenders could soon carry out counteroffensive actions. In his opinion, the counter-offensive will begin in March-April, and its venue will be the Luhansk or Zaporozhye directions.
• In addition, there is an option in which the Ukrainian defenders can launch counter-offensive operations in both directions at the same time.

• Defense Minister Aleksey Reznikov noted that a counteroffensive could begin within the next two months. So, in order to implement the plan of the General Staff, Ukraine must have the appropriate forces and means. In addition, time is needed to coordinate units and train tank crews.
• At the same time, the commander of the United States and coalitions in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the former director of the CIA, David Petraeus, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to push back Russian troops even more further this summer. It all depends on the supply of weapons and strategy.
