US Authorizes Use of ATACMS Missile After Russia’s Attack on Ukraine. US Air Force Reacts After 120 Missiles and 90 Drones Are Launched at Ukrainian Power Grid.
The United States has authorized the use of the ATACMS missile in response to Russia’s intense military attack on Ukraine, which involved the use of missiles, drones, and even North Korean soldiers. The action by the US Air Force surprised the world, marking a crucial step in support of the Ukrainian Army and reinforcing the US commitment to defending Ukrainian sovereignty.
US Authorizes Use of Missile and Drones After Russian Attack
The Biden administration has finally approved the use of long-range missiles by the US Air Force on Russian territory, responding to a persistent request from Kiev. This decision, announced by The Washington Post, marks a new chapter in US involvement in the conflict.
The US authorizes the use of ATACMS missiles and drones following a devastating attack by Moscow on Ukrainian electrical infrastructure, which resulted in at least five deaths and compromised about 50% of the country’s power generation capacity.

With a mere 4.5 meters in length, a 6.4-meter wingspan, and a speed of 1,069 km/h, the XF-85 Goblin became the smallest jet fighter in the US. However, it flew for only 2 hours and 19 minutes before being canceled because it was almost impossible to re-dock it with the bomber that carried it at an altitude of 6,000 meters.

U.S. report raises a warning about the advancing influence of China in Latin America and cites Brazil among the countries where space infrastructure, ports, cables, and strategic assets increase Beijing’s weight on the continent.
The attack, which involved about 120 missiles and 90 drones, is considered one of the most significant since the beginning of the conflict. According to the Ukrainian Energy Minister, the Russian army has intensified attacks on electricity generation and transmission facilities in various regions of the country. The energy operator DTEK announced the implementation of emergency cuts in several areas, including the cities of Kiev, Donetsk, and Dnipropetrovsk.
Odesa was also severely affected, with disruptions to heating and water supply. The US authorizes the use of ATACMS missiles, and according to Jovem Pan newspaper, another factor that may have influenced the decision to authorize the equipment was the fact that North Korea sent 10,000 officers and soldiers to Kursk, a Russian region bordering Ukraine.
North Korea Is Supporting Russia in the War
Kim Jong-un seeks to consolidate Russian forces while attempting to reclaim territories that Ukrainians recovered in recent months. This movement has raised alarms in Washington, prompting the US government to accelerate the delivery of advanced weaponry from the US Air Force to balance the situation. To counter advances, the US authorizes the use of ATACMS missiles and guided hypersonic missiles.
North Korea, led by Kim Jong-un, has expanded its support for Russia, especially in strategic regions near Ukraine. The deployment of army troops to Kursk highlights Pyongyang’s commitment to reinforce Russian forces, even amid international tensions.
In addition, the significant number of deployed soldiers could alter the dynamics of the battlefield, creating even greater challenges for Ukraine.
On the other hand, the US Air Force authorizes the use of ATACMS missiles as a strategic response. With a range of up to 300 km, these powerful weapons may neutralize movements of North Korean soldiers on Russian soil.
Understand the Impacts of the Conflicts Between Ukraine and Russia
The deployment of long-range missiles to Ukraine by the US Air Force marks a critical point in the war against Russia and its allies, such as North Korea. With strategic movements being defined in Washington, Moscow, and Pyongyang, the military escalation takes on new proportions.
With US permission, the Ukrainian army gains a crucial new tool to combat Russian and North Korean advances. However, reactions vary. While Kiev celebrates the military reinforcement, criticism and political tensions are rising in the West.
The war in Ukraine has ceased to be an armed confrontation and has become a chessboard where each decision can change global directions, and the outcome of this conflict keeps the world on alert.

Biden é comunista. Vai deixar a fogueira acesa para dar dor de cabeça a Trump. Rússia já avisou que, se foguetões dos EE. UU. forem disparados contra o território dele, vai retaliar com bombas atômicas. Desmiolados como o **** comunista Bidem são os responsaveis por colocsr fogo no estopim que levará a humanidade a seu, extermínio. Que absurdo!
