Escalating Conflict: Ukraine's M39 Missiles Strike Russian Air-Defenses and Avdiivka, While Moscow Power Plant Engulfs in Flames

The Ukrainian army has used its limited supply of M39 missiles to target valuable and vulnerable Russian air-defense systems, including an S-400 battery in Luhansk Oblast. The M39 missiles, which scatter explosive submunitions over a wide area, have proven effective in destroying Russian helicopters and weakening long-range air-defenses. By targeting these batteries, the Ukrainians aim to make it safer for their own cruise missiles and warplanes to operate. The strikes on the S-400 batteries have been preceded by attacks using the Ukrainian navy's Neptune anti-ship cruise missiles.

Ukraine's US Missiles Decimate Russian Helicopters in Single Operation

Ukraine's first-ever strike with American-supplied M39 missiles likely resulted in the destruction of 21 Russian helicopters, according to analysis of satellite imagery. The attack targeted helicopter bases in Russian-occupied southern and eastern Ukraine, with three M39 missiles striking airfields outside Berdyansk and Luhansk Oblast. The damage inflicted on the Russian air force is considered the biggest blow since the beginning of the war. The M39 missile, with its submunition warhead containing 950 bomblets, is designed to strike large installations like airfields, making it highly effective against helicopters and other equipment.

Ukraine's Surprise Strike: US-Supplied Missiles Prove Effective Against Russia's Air-Defenses

Ukraine has acquired American-made M39 rockets, also known as Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), which can neutralize or suppress a wide range of targets, including air defense and surface-to-surface radars or missiles. The M39 is a two-ton ballistic missile with a warhead containing 950 submunitions, capable of being fired up to 100 miles away. These missiles provide Ukrainian forces with a significant boost in their ability to hunt and destroy Russian air-defense batteries, potentially disrupting Russia's air-defense network and reducing the risk to Ukrainian aircrews.
