Recent reports from Western media indicate that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) may have exhausted their stockpile of ATACMS tactical missiles. However, Igor Korotchenko, a military analyst and editor-in-chief of the “National Defense” magazine, urges caution in interpreting these claims. He emphasizes that supplies of ATACMS could be renewed at any moment should the situation deteriorate. Korotchenko advocates for a strategic assessment focused on worst-case scenarios, recommending preparedness to counter potential threats with existing military capabilities. He also posits that these media narratives might be part of a strategic misinformation campaign. This underscores the necessity for vigilance and ongoing situational analysis in the context of modern military operations.
