The USA

is still afraid to transfer ballistic missiles with a range of 300 km to Ukraine.

However, the political leadership of Ukraine will be able to find arguments for partners to still get these missiles.

This was the opinion expressed by military expert and reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Roman Svitan in an interview with UNIAN.

"ATACMS are ballistic missiles. They use as launch pads HIMARS and M270 MLRS, Mars II, which were transferred to us recently. We have been requesting these missiles for a long time with a range of 300 km. A very good missile, highly accurate. The Americans are still afraid to transfer missiles to us of this kind and scope due to some reaction of Russia," says Svitan.

He suggests that there is a certain group of people in the American political system that is maintaining a neutral position on this issue.

"Somehow they are weighed down by certain points related to Russia, with the escalation of Russian aggression. Or it is some other points that prevent the general US politicians from deciding to hand over these missiles to us. I think our political leadership will find arguments for our partners to after all, such missiles and drones were handed over to us," the expert believes.

He reminded that drones are flying platforms that can carry certain types of weapons.

"The drone as such is not so important here. It has certain reconnaissance capabilities, but one of its main functions is the transfer of missiles, aerial bombs and working with these weapons. It is also a highly accurate and rather long-range weapon," he concluded. .

According to military expert Oleg Zhdanov, if the USA does provide Ukraine with ATACMS missiles with a range of 300 km for the HIMARS systems, then this opens up many opportunities for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to destroy the enemy by fire.
