..some of the Ukrainian batteries that operate the country’s 40 or so wheeled HIMARS rocket launchers, each of which lobs a six-pack of 660-pound precision-guided rockets as far as 57 miles, are no longer getting coordinates for the most distant Russian targets, 40 miles away or farther.

“America cut a key intel link for alerts at 2pm Kyiv [time],” The Economist’s Oliver Carroll wrote Wednesday. “Before that: targeting data for HIMARS. Ukraine also isn’t receiving realtime information for long-range strikes.”

Next time I'm shopping for strategic weapons I'll steer clear of USA made.
