the delivered US ATACMS have a reduced range

The ATACMS range was not reduced. There are different models of ATACMS and the one provided was an older variant that has less range but much more payload.

For the job they were used for, wrecking helicopter airfields, they were the correct tool for the job. For further away airfields, I would certainly like to see the US provide the longer range ATACMS as well.
