The term 'long range' has evolved in public discourse, shaping the demand for advanced U.S. weaponry for Ukraine as it has fought against Russian aggression.
Within a 500-mile range, U.S. reluctance to supply long-range weapons stems from fears of escalating conflict with Russia, which could lead to a third world war.
The U.S. has provided Ukraine with 155-millimeter howitzers, its longest-range artillery, capable of firing shells up to 20 miles, but has not sent guidance kits.
Since the war's start, the U.S. has sent three million M795 artillery shells to support Ukraine's defense, highlighting the significant military aid provided thus far.
