The U.S., U.K., France, and Germany have lifted range restrictions on weapons for Ukraine
This was announced by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
“There are no longer any range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine — not from the United Kingdom, not from France, not from us. And not from the Americans either,” he said.
This means that Ukraine can defend itself, he noted, “for example, by striking military positions in Russia.”
Kremlin-aligned war correspondent Kots claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces may soon receive the long-range air-to-surface cruise missile Taurus, capable of hitting targets up to 500 kilometers away.
“A fighter armed with a Taurus could reach, for instance, Tula or Kaluga from Kharkiv Oblast. A serious threat that will require a response,” he wrote.
Germany has not officially confirmed deliveries of this weapon to Ukraine.
Have they also lifted the target restrictions? There’s a bridge I really really really want to see in the water.
Striking the airfields would be a higher priority IMHO.
Bridges and airfields are both critical infrastructure in a military operation. Even if the primary value of hitting the Crimean Bridge is propaganda, it is still a high value strategic target for the purposes of severing russian supply lines.
