The acquisition of these American MLRSs is one of the largest arms purchases for the Estonian Defense Forces.

The US company Lockheed Martin in Arkansas has produced six new HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems for Estonia. These are scheduled to be handed out in the summer. Ramil Lipp, head of the weapons category at the State Defense Investment Center (RKIK), spoke about this, local media reports ERR.

“As for the munitions, deliveries will begin this year and continue in the following years, for munitions, there are GMLRS, which are missiles with a firing range of up to 70 kilometers, and ATACMS with a range of up to 300 kilometers, he explained.

The contract for the purchase of HIMARS was signed between the American defense industry agency DSCA and RKIK in 2022.

The acquisition of HIMARS is one of the largest arms purchases for the Estonian Defense Forces.

Let’s recall that the media previously wrote that the Defense Forces were using American HIMARS systems to destroy bridges, pontoons and engineering equipment of Russian troops in the Kursk region.
