US officials have confirmed that Ukraine has begun using long-range missiles secretly shipped in recent weeks. They say the missiles were used for the first time in a strike on a Russian airfield in Crimea last week. The “Army Tactical Missile Systems” – or ATACMS – were part of a 300 million-dollar assistance package approved by the United States in March.
