The entire Black Sea Fleet is about to get vaporized.
This is stupid, why do they keep tying Ukraine's hands behind their backs? Any russian target anywhere should be fair game.
Pity no one knows what “ATACTAMATACTAC” missiles are. Usually acronyms are explained, but I guess that’s too much like journalistic standards huh?
Army Tactical Missile System. TBF, the article says "long-range ATACMS missiles", which is pretty descriptive.
Bah. Article schmartickle. Headlines should be better written.
The particular missile in question has been frequently discussed for something like the last two years, as it's something that Ukraine has been after. At this point, I'd say that most people following the conflict have heard about it many times.
But, aside from that, I don't see what else one could reasonably ask for in a headline. It's a missile, and it's something that Ukraine may launch at Russia. Expanding the acronym in a headline -- which is not the norm -- certainly isn't going to explain to a reader much more clearly what it is.
I could maybe understand wanting more explanation in the article, but you're specifically taking issue with the headline, and I don't think that could be much improved upon.
