Military aid is drip-fed: U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles are too few for successful Ukrainian tactics – Newsweek
Some analysts accuse the United States of providing military assistance to Ukraine in a “drip-feed” manner.
“Thus, according to the American historian, professor of strategic studies at the University of St. Andrews Phillips O’Brien, Russia was given time to react, and Ukraine should have enough money to strike all Russian airfields in the occupied territories before winter,” the publication writes.
Newsweek notes that some analysts accuse the United States of providing military aid to Ukraine in a “drip-feed” manner. John Kirby, a representative of the US National Security Council, disagrees. According to him, Washington is leading the way in providing military assistance to Kyiv.
“The ability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to hit targets at long distances is forcing the Russian Armed Forces to think more about where to deploy key military equipment. Especially away from the front line,” the article says.
According to Frederik Mertens, an analyst at the Hague Center for Strategic Studies, Russia is likely to start striking at Ukraine’s energy infrastructure “as soon as winter really sets in.”
“In recent months, Russia has used its missiles sparingly and should have accumulated a decent stockpile again,” he said.
