Friedrich Merz said Kyiv needed to “get ahead” in the conflict after dozens were killed in Russia’s Palm Sunday attack on the Ukrainian city of Sumy, which he denounced as a “serious war crime”.

Some news articles are showcases of force or are meant to send a message. There’s also the fact that one can easily spot weapons being used in combat. Meaning you can send 1 of these missiles and there goes your secrecy. So not everything needs to be a secret. It’s not like they are sharing the logistics here.
More about the element of surprise is gone for that 1st use.
