comes late, some say too late, butjoe biden�*s decision to greenlight the use of the us army's tactical missile systemeting inside russia will be welcomed by ukraine and its european partners. it's a much needed morale boost, after several days of heavy bombardment, much of it aimed at the ukrainian power grid. the question is, what difference will it make? given the short period of time there is left, before the incoming us administration presumably withdraws that support? with us in the studio, our expert in chief, mikey kay. he flew attack helicopters for 20 years. he served as a military planner, and he presents this segment as he would to his commanding officers. how are you? welcome back. why now? why — how are you? welcome back. why now? why has _ how are you? welcome back. why now? why has he _ how are you? welcome back. why now? why has he taken this decision? some would say belatedly, but it would seem timely. i belatedly, but it would seem timel . ~' ., belatedly, but it would seem timel . ~' . ., , timely. i think there are many --eole timely. i think there are many peeple and — timely. i

the weapons known as the army tactical missile system can travel about 190 miles, which could help stopussian forces from attacking ukrainian cities. this comes after russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on ukraine on sunday that killed at least nine people. cbs's chris livesay reports. >> reporter: a morning shattered by the eerie wail of air raid sirens. then drones and missiles that were intercepted, and those that were not. russia unleashed 120 missiles and 90 drones overnight in what ukrainian officials are calling the largest attack since the summer.

this army tactical missile system or sometimes referred to as atacms. talk to me about what they are, their capability and why this is a potential turning point yeah fredricka. >> the mgm 148, as you mentioned, the army tactical missile system has a range of around 180 to 190 miles. and what it can do is it can attack things like ammunition depots, troop concentrations, logistical centers, all of those kinds of things that could resupply a front line. so what the purpose of this is from the biden administration's standpoint is to actually make it possible for the ukrainians to prevent the russians and the north koreans from attacking the ukrainian concentrations in kursk, which is the territory of russia that ukraine has occupied since august. so these missiles are designed to go in and take out those kinds of things, like those logistics installations that i described. and they're designed to do this in a very efficient very lethal manner. and it's one of the most lethal weapons that the u.s. has in its arsenal and if the ukrainians can use it the same

this is america's army tactical missile system — known as atacms. are ballistic missiles. guided by satellite, they are highly accurate. their speed and angle of descent makes them harder to intercept than other systems. and now ukraine will be able to fire them into russia. the signs are washington is going to allow them to be fired specifically to deal with what's going on up here in the kursk region. ukrainian forces seized russian territory there. now the signs are that russia is preparing a push to try and drive them out. and it's brought in north korean troops to help. their arrival, america says, justifies the lifting restrictions on the use of atacms. ukraine s leader president zelensky was today inspecting troops on the frontline. he has been pushing for atacms to be used over the border use for months — aware his forces have been on the backfoot. so how might the atacms be used? they have a range of nearly 200 miles — more than other systems. that will allow them to target positions behind russian front lines and hit concentrations of troo

us officials confirmed the use of the army tactical missile system to cbs news.president biden gave the green light for weapons provided by america, to be used on targets inside russia. today marks the one thousandth day, since russia invaded ukraine — president zelensky promised to �*never submit�* to moscow�*s aggression. we�*ll get the latest from kyiv, the latest from moscow and from the 620 where world leaders have been discussing the war. first though this, from ukraine�*s president who spoke to the european parliament via a videolink. putin is focused on winning this war. he will not stop on his own. the more time he has, the worse the conditions become. you know very well that putin was does not value people and rules. he values only money and power. these are the things we must take away from him to restore peace. our russia editor steve rosenberg examined a short statement released from the russian defence ministry earlier today. according to the statement, and this is moscow claiming that six us made atacms missiles were fired at russia�*s bryansk regi

ukrainian forces were already using the army tactical missile system, but only on russian targets withinukrainian territory. this move will vastly increase their reach. it can strike four times farther than russian missiles at nearly 190 miles, 300 kilometers. being able to carry bombs up to 500 pounds, they can target russian infrastructure and weapons storage facilities. this is what president biden said at the g20 summit. >> we all have to work to end the conflicts and crises that are eroding security around the world. united states support ukraine's sovereignty. sumi: the kremlin has suggested moscow will view any long-range missile attack not as conducted by ukraine, but rather from the u.s. itself. it accused of the biden administration of escalating the conflict by adding oil to the fire. in a statement, russian foreign ministry said kyiv's use of long-range missiles to attack our territory would represent the direct involvement of the u.s. and its satellites in hostilities against russia, as well as a radical change to the essence of the conflict. russia's response will be approp
