Such weapons can really help save the lives of our people and protect our land, said the President of Ukraine.
The United States has confirmed at various levels that advanced HIMARS multi -launch rocket systems are being shipped to Ukraine. This was announced on Thursday, June 3, by President Volodymyr Zelensky during his traditional video message.
He noted that these weapons “will help save the lives of Ukrainians and protect our land.”
The President thanked American leader Joe Biden and the people of the United States for such support and said Ukraine was “very much looking forward” to these weapons.
“We also expect good news about the supply of weapons from other partners. For example, now we have a new defense assistance package from Sweden. We are working to bring the supply of modern combat systems to a higher levels, ”Zelensky said.
It is learned that the Ukrainian military is already training using HIMARS rocket launchers. American instructors conduct theoretical and practical classes for Ukrainian soldiers in a secret location outside Ukraine. This is stated in Twitter journalist Matt Seiler.
He mentioned that the first phase of training will last three weeks. HIMARS installations are delivered in advance to Europe so that, if the transfer is approved, they can be delivered to Ukraine as soon as possible.
The American rocket artillery system of higher mobility HIMARS is mounted on a wheeled chassis. Developed in the late 90s. Capable of carrying six multiple rocket launchers or an MGM-140 ATACMS in a five ton truck. Caliber – 227 millimeters, fire range – from 2 to 500 kilometers.
It was previously reported that Western allies had decided to provide Ukraine with anti-ship missiles to fight the fleet of Russian occupiers in the Black Sea. It is expected that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will receive the American Harpoon from Denmark and the Brimstone naval modification from Britain, the version of the ground which has already changed in the “dynamics” of the course of events in eastern Ukraine.
