REPORT: Ukraine Carried-Out Overnight Strikes with US ATACMS Long-Range Missile Deep Inside Russia

Ukraine carried-out overnight strikes deep inside of Russia with US ATACMS long-range missiles to augment a string of incremental escalations on a linear war trajectory that intensified last week.

Ukraine carried-out overnight strikes deep inside of Russia with ATACMS long-range missile systems provided by the United States. The ATACMS strike development augments a string of incremental escalations on a linear war trajectory that began early last week. This piece is a follow-up item to this morning’s analysis, which should be referenced for all contextual background information: WORLD WAR III: US Officials Discuss Nuclear Armament for Ukraine as Russian Deterrence Strategy. Therein, you’ll find a chronology of events for last week into this week and the menu of the analysis covering them. That analysis is critical to understand to properly situate the overnight ATACMS strike developments.

This is the 229th article in the series War, Famine & Disease.

On a technical note, although the ATACMS strike occurred overnight, it was not reported until this afternoon and after this morning’s analysis had been published.

Importantly and chronologically since the ATACMS strike preceded this morning’s summary analysis, it does not impact the summary findings discussed below except to further drive the established momentum towards a thermonuclear World War III that the Intelligence Community/Pentagon/NATO/State Department conglomerate appears determined to have.

The Telegraph has now reported this:

Ukraine appears to have hit Russia with cluster Atacms missiles for the first time since Joe Biden lifted a ban on long-range weapons.

Kyiv hit Khalino airfield near Kursk city overnight, Ukrainian military bloggers said, sharing geolocated photos of the site.

The airfield is no longer used by Russian aviation, but they said the facility still contained a command headquarters, ammunition depots and a drone launching area.

A video of the strike showed hundreds of small explosions typical of cluster munitions hitting the airport. Atacms come in two forms: as cluster munitions or a unitary warhead that hits a more specific target.

It was the second time Ukraine has fired Atacms into Russia since the US lifted its ban, and the first time the cluster version of the weapons have been known to be used.

Insert that into aspects of the analysis from this morning, which in-part stated:

The September 2022 analysis indicated a highly plausible nuclear false-flag operation to entrap Putin and Russia into a predetermined nuclear response.

Therein, Biden issued a nuclear ultimatum.

Since then, Biden has marched in lockstep to a kinetic flashpoint to a global nuclear conflict [and we’ve tracked every step: War, Famine & Disease].

Now, Biden wants to provide Ukraine with nuclear weapons to further threaten Russia’s national security and sovereignty under the guise of deterrence.

In actuality, Biden’s move comes as a calculated measure inside an entrapment operation that is designed to bait Russia into a predetermined nuclear response of which Putin as repeatedly warned.

If Joe Biden isn’t trying to provoke Russia into the thermonuclear war that the IC/DoD/NATO/State conglomerate seems so desperate to have, then what in the the hell is he doing?

The first step to answering that question is realizing that Joe Biden has nothing to do with this beyond a mugshot.

The second step to answering that question is realizing that the answer is contained within the question – the IC/DoD/NATO/State conglomerate needs this war as the analysis has repeatedly indicated including this from December 2022 and its truer today than it was then [from War At All Costs]: This illegitimate administration is desperate to maintain control as it all crumbles around them and it places us in highly dangerous times. Make no mistake about it. If it is required, they will absolutely pull the fire alarm of war.

The ATACMS Missile

Note that Thursday’s hypersonic missile strike by Russia featured technology that deploys multiple warheads [MIRV] from a single missile much like cluster munitions, which deliver payloads of multiple bombs but in larger quantities.

Apply the war reciprocity considerations that we have been closely examining to see how the ATACMS strike is reciprocal since it featured cluster munitions as seen in multiple videos of the strike captured here.

The ATACMS platform is manufactured by Lockheed Martin:

ANALYSIS

The summary analysis from this morning that now envelops the later reported Ukrainian ATACMS strike remains the same: “Tomorrow’s emergency talks between NATO and Ukraine will determine whether we move off the transition line between full scale regional war and full scale global war, the direction we go or whether stay straddling it, but that’s only if new developments do not further derail the status quo in the direction of the unthinkable.”

The ATACMS strike qualifies as such a new development ex post facto.

Stay tuned for further analysis currently being posted daily in the late morning or later.
