Hopefully ATACMS will do more damage than the traffic jams.

M57 and M57E1 ATACMS only has a range of about 300 km, while Moscow is 50% further at 430-460 km. Ukraine would need serious SRBMs to hit enough Russian strategic targets. Domestic Hrіm-2 is possibly operational and in manufacture in limited quantities. If I were part of the Ukrainian military brass, I would volunteer fielding experimental systems in development like PrSM.

George Shultz and Gorbachev are correct: one dangerous turn in world policy has been the rollback of the INF treaty and tit-for-tat brinksmanship.

ATACMS has the range to hit Sevastopol and other parts of Crimea from Ukrainian controlled territory which is where I presume they will be put to use.
