Watch: Will the arrival of US-made ATACMS prove decisive for Ukraine's counter-offensive?

Ukraine's military has used the US-provided long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) for the first time.

In his nightly address, President Zelensky confirmed that the ATACMS "have proven themselves".

The missiles, which can strike targets 100 miles or more away, are believed to have been used against a military airfield in Berdiansk and another one in the Luhansk region â€“ destroying nine Russian military helicopters, an anti-aircraft missile system and an ammunition warehouse.
