During the briefing, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper said that with the HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems, Ukraine is capable of attacking the “majority of Russian targets”, including Crimea.
Earlier, Kiev asked the White House for providing ATACMS operational-tactical missiles (range 300 km), but Cooper made it clear that it is enough for Armed Forces of Ukraine to have GMLRS guided missiles with a range of 80 kilometers for such purposes.
«According to our estimates, with the help of the GMLRS that the Armed Forces already have for HIMARS… they are able to hit the vast majority of targets, including Crimea. And just to be clear: Crimea is Ukraine,” Cooper said.
