The Pentagon plans to send 8 more Himars MLRS to Ukraine

Ukraine will receive 8 more Himars MLRS.

In the near future, the United States plans to transfer to Ukraine at least 8 more Himars multiple launch rocket systems, thereby increasing the supply of at least 32 units of these weapons. This, taking into account the previously delivered 9 MLRS M270 MLRS by the British military and 5 MLRS MARS II by the German military, indicates the fact that Ukraine could have received up to 46 MLRS, with 50 units of these weapons previously promised by the United States.

It is known that the new deliveries of Himars MLRS are associated with a contract for 33 million dollars, which corresponds to the supply of 8 Himars MLRS. In addition, an unnamed amount of M30 and M31 guided munitions will also be transferred to Ukraine. This indicates that the United States continues to pump up the Armed Forces of Ukraine with weapons in order to continue further escalation in Ukraine.

When exactly such weapons will be transferred to the Ukrainian military is unknown, however, according to experts, this should happen before the end of this year, while next year the UK plans to supply the M270 MLRS MLRS for the needs of Ukraine, which may transfer to Ukraine from 6 to 9 launchers, equivalent to 12-18 Himars launchers.
