On Thursday afternoon, Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov announced that Ukraine had received Himar's missile artillery system received from the United States.
“Thank you for these powerful tools!
The summer will be hot for Russian occupiers.
And the last for some of them, "the minister wrote on Twitter.
It is known that four systems would be delivered.
But on the same day as the delivery was announced, the White House decided on another military aid package to Ukraine.
The decision covers four more Himars systems.
They can be detached from transport aircraft and are mobile because they are mounted on trucks.
Stated worth $ 450 million
The new package to Ukraine is said to be worth $ 450 million and the four new rocket artillery systems are said to reach targets at least 40 US miles away (64 kilometers), Defense One states.
The United States is also sending large quantities of ammunition to howitzers' artillery pieces, and patrol boats that will help Ukraine defend important cities in the Donbas, the White House announced on Thursday.
Ukraine has also asked for better and more modern fighter jets.
A wish that has not yet been obeyed.
