Ukraine will receive the announced M142 HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) in mid-July. CNN writes about this with reference to a representative of the U.S. Department of Defense on Friday, June 24.
All declared missile systems will be in Ukraine by mid-July, a U.S. Department of Defense spokesman said.
"According to a senior U.S. Department of Defense official, the first batch of 4 highly mobile artillery missile systems that the U.S. promised to Ukraine is currently in the country, and a recently announced batch of 4 HIMARS will be delivered by mid-July," the report said.
Another platoon of Ukrainians is being trained to work with the systems, the official told reporters.
