The Russian Defense Ministry announced that Ukraine attacked Russian territory with long-range ATACMS missiles supplied by the United States.
It was reported that air defense systems shot down 5 of the 6 missiles launched. It was reported that the wreckage of one of the ATACMS missiles launched by Ukraine fell on a military facility in the Bryansk region.
The targeted military facility in the Bryansk region is located approximately 115 kilometers from the border.
The most important feature of the ATACMS missiles, which the American administration has authorized for use, is that they have a range of 300 kilometers. These missiles aim to hit regions of Russia close to the Ukrainian border.
LONG-RANGE MISSILE PERMISSION FROM THE WEST After lengthy discussions in recent days, the US government accepted Ukraine’s request to use long-range missiles. Following this step by the US, it is expected that the UK will also supply “Storm Shadow” missiles to Ukraine to be used against targets inside Russia. WORLD WAR 3 WARNING Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously made a statement that “allowing Ukraine to attack Russian territory would mean the participation of NATO countries, the US and European countries in the war in Ukraine.” Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev warned: “The use of NATO missiles in this way can be considered an attack by the alliance countries against Russia. In this case, Kiev and NATO elements have the right to retaliate with weapons of mass destruction. This would be World War III.”
