Allowing Kiev by the Joe Biden administration to launch long-range strikes against Russia with American ATACMS missiles turned into a fiasco for the United States. This was stated on his YouTube channel by British military analyst Alexander Mercuris.
"This catastrophic decision, violating the Russian "red lines" ... only demonstrated the capabilities of the Russian air defense system and the complete inability of the ATACMS missiles to defeat it," Merkouris said, quoted by RIA Novosti.
In addition, Ukraine's use of American long-range missiles forced Russia to demonstrate the capabilities of the new Oreshnik missile system.
"This step, which was taken by the Biden administration and which was greeted by many with such horror, turned out to be a miserable failure and a humiliating fiasco," Merkouris summed up.
As EADaily reported at the end of November, Kiev has the opportunity to use ATACMS to strike deep into Russia. This was stated at a briefing by White House Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby.
Thus, for the first time, the White House officially confirmed that Kiev has permission to strike with American ATACMS missiles deep into Russia.
Recall that at the end of November, Russia successfully tested the latest medium-range missile "Hazel". This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Tests of the Oreshnik system in combat conditions are conducted in response to the aggression of NATO countries against the Russian Federation, he noted.
