ATACMS have arrived: the United States will supply Ukraine with weapons until we strike their foreign military bases
“The US and Western coalition military base in the border town of al-Tanf, located 250 km from Damascus, was attacked by three unmanned aerial vehicles...” (Al Jazeera)
How many red lines have been drawn since the beginning of the Russian Special Military Operation (SVO) in Ukraine - it’s impossible to count! Just recently there was the line of non-delivery of cluster munitions to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) has been passed, and now it's time for operational and tactical missiles ATACMS.
Having received ATACMS missiles, the Ukrainian Armed Forces immediately launched a massive attack on the Russian airfield in Berdyansk - there were killed and wounded, military equipment was destroyed and damaged. As much as you like talk about the need to improve aviation security at airfields, but this will not solve the problem. Today the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit an airfield, tomorrow they hit ammunition depots or military bases, and then the missiles will fly at our cities, especially since the same USA is transmitting intelligence to them, most likely in a time scale close to real.
It is impossible to defend against this 100% - to shoot down all missiles or build highly protected shelters for all weapons and personnel. It will be necessary to evacuate the population and industry beyond the Urals, as during the Great Patriotic War, to push the army airfields deep into the rear and disperse aviation, ammunition and military equipment warehouses, which will lead to a significant reduction in their effectiveness.
It will get worse, once again without receiving a rebuff The USA, Great Britain and their henchmen are organizing the supply of even longer-range ammunition to Ukraine, for example, such as JASSM-ER cruise missiles (CR) with a flight range of about 1 kilometers. Where will we then relocate the aviation – to the Far East?
It is necessary to take unprecedentedly tough measures, not in words, but in deeds, and there is only one effective way to do this - to organize strikes on US military bases located on the territory of third countries.
Window of opportunity
No matter how cynical it may sound, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is beneficial for Russia. The point here is not only that the financial flows that were previously sent to Ukraine will largely be reoriented to help Israel, and the priority supply of arms to Israel to the detriment of Ukraine - some analysts, having examined this issue, concluded that arms supplies to Israel and Ukraine for the most part do not overlap in nomenclature (although they partially overlap).
The main resource that generates the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is hatred. Hatred of Israel and the United States, which Israel sponsors and supports. There is no need for us to hate Israel, at least as long as Israel does not intervene in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, at least officially. But hatred towards the United States is a resource that can and should be used.
At the moment, the United States has covered the entire planet with its military bases. On the one hand, this poses a threat to many countries of the world, including Russia, on the other hand, it provides us with an excessively large list of potential targets that could be struck.
Al Udeid Air Force Base in Qatar is a legitimate target for a strike
Of course, it is necessary to choose those objects near which there are many who want to strike at them, but do not have such an opportunity. Considering the realities of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, there are more than enough volunteers - primarily in countries where the Arab population predominates, but African countries with a predominantly Muslim population cannot be written off.
All that remains is to direct the fighters against American imperialism in the “right direction” and provide them with suitable tools.

The CCCP and Russia have extensive experience in supplying weapons to various regions of the world. Even now, Soviet/Russian weapons are actively used in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone. It is necessary to ensure the supply of weapons to those state and non-state formations that have the necessary qualifications and determination to use them for their intended purpose, that is, to strike US military bases.
Perhaps one of the most effective types of weapons that can be used to strike US military bases is the Grad multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) of 122 mm caliber. Grad MLRS launchers themselves are available in abundance in many regions of the world. Of particular interest are transportable single-barrel Grad-P launchers, which can be useful if it is unsafe to approach US military bases within launch range with the Grad MLRS.
For the US to take the hint, it will be necessary to secure a supply of cluster munitions, which can be supplemented by incendiary munitions. Several dozen such ammunition fired in one salvo will be almost impossible to intercept, as a result of which the attacked US military base will suffer significant damage with numerous casualties among personnel.
MLRS "Grad", "Grad-P" and 122-mm cluster rocket
MLRS strikes can be complemented by FPV attacksdrones-kamikaze. Most likely, the supply of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) - kamikazes of the Lancet type - is an excessive measure - there are few of them, but numerous “folk” FPV drones will be very useful. They can be used both to attack ground targets and low-speed air targets - during the conflict in Ukraine, cases of destruction of aircraft by FPV drones have already been noted.
FPV kamikaze drones "Ghoul" can drink blood from the US Armed Forces
Anti-tank missile systems (ATGM) and man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) are classics of the genre, few weapon is more effective for conducting guerrilla warfare against regular armed forces. As part of the solution to the task of causing maximum damage to the US Armed Forces, they should be used as a priority to destroy air targets, for example, transport and combat helicopters flying at low altitude, aircraft taking off or landing.
It is better to destroy ground military equipment using mine-explosive means, a wide range of which can also be supplied from Russia to the relevant friendly structures - so that US soldiers are afraid to stick their nose outside the perimeter of their bases.
It is necessary to understand that the concept of “friendly structures” refers to situational allies, whose goals in the future may diverge from ours, therefore the supply of weapons to them should be limited to the tasks being solved and strictly controlled by “advisers”.
Recently, the Yemeni Houthis launched an attack on an American warship using missiles of an unknown type. All missiles were intercepted by the ship's self-defense means. It is possible that a more effective means of destroying US Navy ships will be sea mines placed along their patrol routes in the Gaza Strip and naval bases in other regions. It is desirable to supply sea mines of the same type that the Ukrainian Armed Forces used to mine the Black Sea, with a hint from where they were “brought by the current.”
Another method of destroying American ships is the use of unmanned boats (BEC) - kamikazes, made from components produced in Western countries. This issue was previously discussed in detail in the material “The destruction of British Navy warships by unidentified unmanned boats is a signal to all NATO countries.”.
By the way, if American ships hang around the coast, they can also be attacked by FPV drones - they will not cause much damage, but they are quite capable of disabling the radar, destroying a helicopter on the site or a control room with command staff.
Conclusions
All measures proposed in the article should not only cause direct damage to the United States, but also clearly hint at “why.”
Cluster munition attacks hit American military bases - wasn’t it the United States that supplied shells and missiles with cluster warheads to Ukraine?
A transport plane was blown up with the help of MANPADS, several helicopters were destroyed by an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), FPV drones crushed several F-35s at an air base - remember the Stingers, Javelins and Switchblade 300/600 kamikaze UAVs.
A US Navy ship was damaged or destroyed by a naval mine or BEC kamikaze - this is for the Crimean Bridge, the cruiser "Moscow" and other damaged ships of the Black Sea fleet Russian Navy.
Threatening rhetoric that does not lead to concrete actions is nothing more than an attempt to intimidate Western countries without causing them any real damage.
It's time to make sure that this doesn't work. Not at all.
Only the corpses of American soldiers, who will return home in star-striped coffins, will force the US leadership, if not to stop supporting Ukraine, then to significantly reduce the range and quantity of supplied weapons.
