It actually does.don't change the situation much ukraine already recieved storm shadow which have longer rtange . this one only have 300km of range
by the way i believe russia airdefence will have harder time intercepting stormshadow than these mgm-140 ATACMS
Storm shadow is air launched and there are only 1 platform that can carry it that we know, which is MIG-29 Some people said SU-25 can also carry it but I dont know
Anyway, ATACAM will give Ukraine multi dimensional capability. You know when a MIG-29 Takes off, that may or may not carry storm shadow, but if they do, there are only 1 attack profile. Now imagine 4 HIMARS launchers deployed in 4 different location within a 150km radius circle, you have 4 ways of entries just that. Now Ukraine have 20 HIMARS system. Most of all, you cant track HIMARS deployment unlike MIG-29 that can be picked up with radars. This is going to increase Ukrainian stand off attack capability exponentially....
Well given if the US transfer enough ATACMS
