2024-11-20 15:14:56 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

This is misleading and incorrect ATACMS uses GPS + INS navigation and targeting info is keyed in via HIMARS / MLRS. Many countries already operate ATACMS using their own soldiers. US intel not needed for targeting data of fixed targets like airbases and ammo dumps. https://www.techarp.com/military/atacms-missiles-only-us/ https://armyrecognition.com/military-products/army/missiles/ballistic-missiles/atacms-army-tactical-ballistic-missile-system-us-technical-data https://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/atacms/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATACMS

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1858911164006043862

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
