The more you look into the details of the alleged US approval for “long-range hits into Russia”, the more you realize this is 90% media hype:

  • #Ukraine only received short-range ATACMS variant with range limited to below 300 km; it’s more than MLRS or Soviet “Tochka-U” systems (~100 km) but the actual long-range ATAMCS is 500-1000 km
  • As clarified by Biden’s administration, the hits are now only authorised in #Kursk oblast’, which technically is outside of #Ukraine but…
  • …but in May 2024 US has already authorised [^1] hits in #Belgorod oblast to deter Russian continued rocket and artillery attacks on #Kharkiv

So the correct wording of this week’s top news should be something to the effect of: US authorised short-range ATACMS hits in Kursk oblast’ of Russia, and that’s it.

But hey, how would anyone could run around and scream of #WW3 with this kind of title? 😄
