This package will not include the long-range Army Tactical Missile System that can reach Moscow, according to two of the people. The Biden administration has balked at sending long-range munitions, despite Kyiv's pleas, for fear of provoking Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Sigh.
Next 🇺🇸 aid package for 🇺🇦 probably include GLSDB rockets for HIMARS/M270 systems (150km range)

Suppose 150km is better, it's not 300km better though.
The Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb has about twice the range of the HIMARS' GMLRS and is a heavier munition, which will complicate Russian C2 and logistics. Ukraine needs more armored vehicles and Strikers are a better option for transporting infantry in battle than MRAPs. https://t.co/S4b5QrwNFp
