These are M39 Block 1, you can look up the transfer on SIPRI. This not a new capability for Ukraine, they've had them since last winter.We are not talking about short range missiles. They are Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, and even retired General Wesley Clark has acknowledged publicly that the US has to okay anything they strike with them because only the US can upload the targeting package to the ATACMS on the Ukrainian military's behalf.
They are only 62 miles range and carry anti-personnel cluster munitions. Since they have been using them, that means they already have the ability to load the targeting information.
