    Finally! Keep in mind these missiles are 30 years old. This is old tech at the end is service life.

      US is literally printing money AND winning a war they’re not fighting AND solidifying their geopolitical position. Absolute madmen, Godspeed

        Well, they have a lot of experience doing that and benefits for them vastly outweigh the risk.

      no, not really, your options is small cluster warhead with longer range or 3x bigger cluster warhead with less range (the one used in berdyansk), neither of which are effective against armour, and then there’s unitary variant, which would require direct or almost direct hit. so no, it’s only good against soft targets: aircraft on runways (not in hardened hangars or such), SAM sites, ammo depots, radar installations, unarmoured vehicles, troops in the open and so on. unitary variant might be good against command centers

      that’s still a lot of valuable targets

    Anything that makes Russia remove invading forces/equipment out of Ukrainian territory is the right move.
