BBC: Ukraine uses US-supplied ATACMS for the first time, says Zelensky
Ukraine has used US-supplied long-range missiles for the first time, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
His comments follow reports the weapons, known as ATACMS, destroyed nine helicopters at Russian bases in the east of the country. Ukraine has not confirmed the missiles were used.
Ukraine said an air defence system and other equipment were among the targets hit in Berdyansk and Luhansk. Dozens of Russian troops were killed or injured in the operation, it added.
"They have performed very accurately. ATACMS have proven themselves," Mr Zelensky said in an evening address posted on social media, without giving details of when or where they were used.

The ATACMS hot helicopter bases. The attack eroded Russia's helicopter advantage.
About time.
Joe dragged his feet 18 months on ATACMS.

Reinforcements that are late in coming can cause you to lose a battle
If Blucher had been late to Waterloo, the French would have won.
Timing matters
