Looks like ATACMS are finally going to Ukraine.

The Biden administration is likely to send Ukraine long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, to help in its fight to repel the Russian invasion of its territory, according to U.S. officials. "They are coming," said one official who had access to security assistance plans. The official noted that, as always, such plans are subject to change until officially announced. A second official said the missiles are "on the table" and likely to be included in an upcoming security assistance package, adding that a final decision has not been made. It could be months before Ukraine receives the missiles, according to the official. With a range of up to 190 miles, depending on the version, deploying ATACMS could allow Ukraine to reach targets nearly four times further away than with the currently-provided rockets for its U.S.-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and M270 multiple-launch rocket systems.

A chief holdup in sending ATACMS has been an American reluctance to part with its limited stockpile. But that problem seems to have been eased.

A surprising discovery could also ease the administration's choice to send the weapons: The U.S. has found it has more ATACMS in its inventory than originally assessed, the two officials told ABC News.

Big bavovna. The second video shows an entry in the turret toss contest.

x 78. West or Robotyne.

Ok here's another view of tweet 77 viewed from the NE. BOOM and a mega turret toss. Gotta love the design of the auto-ammo-carousel underneath the turret.

This is Zelenskyy’s hometown. Russia struck the city’s police building.

This Russian bomb is supposed to be guided. And it ends up in an open field.

I wonder how the elections will turn out. Will Steve Kornacki be at the Big Board?

x Russia is holding "elections" on 8-10th September, including occupied territories of Ukraine.

Oops. Looks like counting might be delayed.

Armenia was, until recently, a member of the CSTO with Russia. How’s that working out?

Poor oppressed thing. He can just turn his ass around and drive back to Russia where he’ll be appreciated. If this guy was an American, he’d be wearing a MAGA hat.

Some Russian has a sense of humor.

Some great camouflage.

Rescued from Russian terror.
