Secretly supplied is an interesting take. The Ukrainians officially released video of them launching ATACMS hours after the airbase in Crimea was hit. I'm some jackass on the internet and had heard from multiple sources that the system was arriving. Poor headlines aside, definitely a good system, though it doesn't increase strike range over Scalp/Stormshadow, it just adds another way to hit. That's handy, I'm sure the numbers will be tiny though, it's pretty overpriced for what it is.
