What is known

We are talking about HIMARS MLRS and high-precision missiles(most likely M30A1 or M31). Thanks to this, Ukrainian defenders will be able to hit targets at a distance of up to 80 km. Unfortunately, the US government has not yet announced the number and timing of deliveries of guns.

Let us remind you that HIMARS is an American jetmultiple launch rocket system. It is based on the US Army's five-ton wheeled FMTV chassis. The RSZV can carry six missiles or one ATACMS tactical ballistic missile. The operating range of the HIMARS M142 ranges from 2 to 500 km (depending on the projectiles).
