This was stated by Assistant Secretary of the US Army for Acquisition Doug Bush, Bloomberg reports.
We have long been prepared for such a development of events, we are ready to act quickly,” Boomberg agency quotes Bush.
He indicated that only a green light from the administration of the American leader is needed.
Bush confirmed that we are talking specifically about ATACMS with cluster munitions, and added that their use requires a minimum of preparation: these missiles can be launched from the artillery missile systems available in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, you only need a few cables and certain software. Bush said the missiles the US will send have already been determined.
There are several modifications of the missiles, including those with cluster munitions or conventional warheads. ATACMS cluster weapons have a range of 25-300 km. The missiles carry from 300 to 950 cluster munitions.
