US to equip Ukraine with four M142 HIMARS systems
The advanced rocket launchers were pre-positioned in Europe to ensure speedy delivery to Ukraine.
It is in line with the authorisation of a presidential drawdown package worth $700m, which was approved on 1 June.
The military aid is the DoD's 11th drawdown of equipment since August 2021 as part of its security assistance to Ukraine.
The latest assistance package includes five counter-artillery radar systems, two air-surveillance radars, 6,000 antiarmor weapons, 15,000 155mm artillery rounds, 1,000 Javelins and 50 command launch units, four Mi-17 helicopters, and spare parts.
Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System, capable of hitting a target over 40 miles away, will also be delivered to the war-torn nation.
According to the DoD, the HIMARS systems are already pre-positioned in Europe to enable speedy delivery of equipment to Ukraine.
A three-week training session for Ukrainian users and maintenance team will precede the transfer of equipment.
US DoD Defense Policy undersecretary Colin Kahl said: "They need to know not just how to use the systems, but, of course, how to maintain the system — so, think of logistics, maintenance, things like that."
Part of the Multiple Launch Rocket System, M142 HIMARS facilitates launch of multiple rockets with increased precision.

If ever there was a definition of the "deep state" (Peter Dale Scott) it would be defined by both Continuity of Government (CoG) and Lockheed Martin. CoG began with contingency plans in the event the US government was decapitated by a nuclear strike. But how can the US government be "decapitated" when nuclear weapons don't exist? Really, what think tank wonk thought of that description: "US government decapitation?"
