 U.S. doesn't have enough ballistic missiles for Ukraine. The U.S. is not in a position to supply Ukraine with tactical ballistic missiles in quantities that could help turn the tide in its counter-offensive. The Financial Times has reported. The British newspaper also cited several experts who question whether this type of weaponry could help Kiev achieve a major breakthrough at all. In its article, the publication citing unnamed American officials claimed that the U.S. simply does not produce enough tactical ballistic missiles, those which Ukraine has been asking for to make a significant difference on the battlefield. In addition, another consideration preventing the shipment of such projectiles is that such action could lead to a further escalation of the conflict with Russia. Samuel Chharrop, a senior political scientist at Rand Corporation, told the media outlet that Ukraine's insistence on laying its hands on long-range missiles is misplaced. The expert stressed that rockets like these are no magic ones and are unlikely to solve the hurdles of minefields and entrenched Russian defenses that Kiev's forces are currently facing. The publication quoted some U.S. officials as warning that the extent of U.S. military aid could shrink as the 2024 presidential election looms. A possible re-election of Republican Donald Trump adds another layer of uncertainty given his repeated pledges to end the conflict as soon as he assumes office. The article notes
