  2. The US position on ATACMS makes no sense The go to weapons for the US is TLAM. B-52 , B-2s and F-15E Even if conflict broke out, ATACMS is at the bottom of the list if North Korea invaded South Korea, the ATACMS would give the US military ready fire capability The ATACMS carries 950 BLU-97Bs whereas the TLAM only carries 166 but the TLAM has vastly superiority range , targeting systems and can fired from ships and sub In addition to the PrSm. Both the USMC and Army TLAM capable launchers Its make more sense to give Ukraine 300-500 ATACMS variants while speeding the USMC and Army procurement of TLAMs and associated launders Fear of escalation is what Russia has been counting on from the start The West needs to stop that and give Ukraine what they need to end this conflict quickly Ukraine has 3 Patriot system, they need at 50 to form integrated air defence system (IADS) The promised F-16s needs to come with JASSM-As, AGM-65, PAVEWAYs, CBU-87s and Harpoons Additionally they need to equipped with the CART so MIG-29s can act as tankers to greatly extend their range The F-16s with Harpoon and JASSM will take the the Russian navy completely out of the picture while ATACMS knocks out Russian bases in Crimea The lost of both is more than enough to force Russian to rethink its choices
