What are ATACMS, US missiles that Ukraine used to target Russia? What happens next?
Russia has said that Ukraine has used the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), provided by the US, to hit its Bryansk region. The missiles, which have a range of 300 kilometres, fly high into the atmosphere before gaining speed and smashing into their targets – thus foiling air defence systems.
Ukraine will be in a position to attack positions in the Kursk region, where Russia has mobilized around 50,000 troops.
Ukraine has asked its allies for longer-range weapons to alter the balance of power in the war where Russia is better resourced.
