Would be interesting to know how they got a intact ATACMS. It was clear from the beginning that every weapon system used in Ukraine could and probably would land on the black market, that’s why Israel didn’t provide any own weapon system fearing it would land in the hands of their enemies.

If the US permitted ATACMS to be used in this theater, you can be 100% sure they know the Russians already have an ATACMS. So this is just propaganda.

This is Zed propaganda/fake news , a soldier can't put a missile in his pocket and go home and exchange it for alcohol.

I think the main concern is Ukrainians that are loyal to Kremlin and smuggle information witch is more easy then selling big stuff on the black market.

You'd have to be either a liar or a fool to publicly admit that you've deciphered something about your opponent's secret capabilities. The allies didn't go bragging to the Nazis every time that they broke the enigma machine.

Dang they’re only 30 years behind us now.

I mean it’s easier to build something new than guess how a black box you don’t have access to works (short of spying on the manufacturing facility). I’m sure Russian missile technology has at least somewhat kept up.

It absolutely has not kept up. ATACMs are 30 years old. Russia just doesn’t have anything like it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The last ATACMS was made 30 years ago.

That’s not correct. https://www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed-martin/m...

> 65 designated as small businesses

I find it amusing Lockheed Martin cares about small business arms component suppliers

Sorry, the ATACMS design is 30 years old I should have said.
