Conventional. One of the first use cases for these things is almost certainly going to be rendering the Kerch bridge unusable.

One that goes big badaboom.
Lol, that thumbnail.
"Hey baby, I got those missiles you wanted."
Whoever picked that shot knew what they were doing
This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Joe Biden has told his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, that the United States will provide a small number of long-range missiles to aid the war with Russia, three U.S. officials and a congressional official familiar with the discussions told NBC News on Friday.
For months, Ukraine has asked for the Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, which would give Kyiv the ability to strike targets from as far away as about 180 miles, hitting supply lines, railways, and command and control locations behind the Russian front lines.
Defense officials have said the U.S. does not have a large stockpile of excess ATACMS, which have a bigger payload than traditional artillery, to provide to Ukraine.
Also, some in Washington have resisted supplying the weapon, known colloquially as “attack-ems,” out of fear that it would widen the war with Russia.
The congressional official said there was still a debate about the type of missile that would be sent and how many would be delivered to Ukraine.
They added that countries in Eastern Europe had already given Ukraine large portions of their weapons stockpiles.
The original article contains 220 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 17%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I'm with Jake Broe on this one.
I expect the official announcement will come as a reaction on the next mobilisation that the Russians will have to do.
Shoulda done this prior to offensive... the trickling of weapons is a bit sus but beggers can't chosers, so here we are
Wondering what type of warhead will be supplied
