The U.S., U.K., France, and Germany have lifted range restrictions on weapons for Ukraine
This was announced by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
βThere are no longer any range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine β not from the United Kingdom, not from France, not from us. And not from the Americans either,β he said.
This means that Ukraine can defend itself, he noted, βfor example, by striking military positions in Russia.β
Kremlin-aligned war correspondent Kots claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces may soon receive the long-range air-to-surface cruise missile Taurus, capable of hitting targets up to 500 kilometers away.
βA fighter armed with a Taurus could reach, for instance, Tula or Kaluga from Kharkiv Oblast. A serious threat that will require a response,β he wrote.
Germany has not officially confirmed deliveries of this weapon to Ukraine.
I commented yesterday, lower down, but I later learned that the U.S. actually made the call to lift range restrictions under Biden.
Although it does look like they ran out of ATACMS in March and the U.S. has been sending the significantly less effective GLSDB as a replacement.
