Is Ukraine’s Rocket Campaign Against Russia Completely Reliant On Coordinates Given By US
A Washington Post report claims that the US has been playing a more operationally active role than it claims in the Ukraine war. According to the Post, Ukraine is almost entirely reliant on US targeting data to carry out strikes using HIMARS & M270 MLRS.
The disclosure comes after months of Kyiv’s forces pounding Russian targets with US-supplied precision-guided weapons.
A Ukrainian official reportedly said that Kyiv almost never launches the advanced weapons without specific coordinates provided by the US. The coordinates are provided by US military personnel from a secret base located in Europe, Washington Post report adds.
