Biden admin worried costs outweigh benefits of green-lighting long-range missiles for Ukraine: US official
Fox News
A U.S. official told Fox News that the Pentagon and Intelligence Committee advised against allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia.
In August, the IC assessed that Russia relocated more than 90% of its aircraft outside ATACMS range, so it was a "misconception that it would be a solution to the glide bombs." Jacqui Heinrich currently serves as a Senior White House correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC). She joined the network in September 2018 and is based out of Washington D.C.
The recommendation is also partially due to limited stocks, as Ukraine does not have enough ATACMS, and the DOD has advised the U.S. would not be able to draw down additional stocks without hurting U.S. military readiness.
