Ukraine’s stock of ATACMS was fully exhausted by late January, while the country has recently received “fewer than 40” new missiles to replenish them. ATACMS were supplied to Ukraine from September 2023, and have proven particularly effective for precision strikes on high value Russian targets. In January they were used to launch a successful strike on an 92N6 detection radar from a Russian S-400 long range surface to air missile system near the frontlines near the city of Belgorod, and two months prior were used to destroy two launchers from another S-400 system. Attacks using the systems escalated from November 17, after Washington provided the green light for use of the missiles against internationally recognised Russian territory. ATACMS missiles require use of Western satellite networks for targeting, as well as the extensive presences of supporting active duty and contractor personnel from Western countries. American Global Hawk surveillance drones flying near Russia are also reported to have provided key support allowing the missiles to be effectively utilised.
