The joint communique adopted following the meeting of the Defense Ministers of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia in Siauliai (Lithuania) on May 21, 2021, among other things, contained a provision on studying the possibility of joint acquisition of multiple Launch Rocket Systems by the three countries in the period after 2025.

Delivery to Estonia of M142 combat vehicles of the American HIMARS missile system from the 1st Division of the 181st Field Artillery Regiment of the Tennessee National Guard (USA) during the NATO Saber Strike 16. Emari (Estonia), 14.06.2016 (c) Simmo Saar / err.ee

"We discussed in detail the expectations of the upcoming [June 14] NATO summit with our Baltic colleagues. We believe that NATO needs to send a clear and decisive message about the Russian threat and make collective defense the Alliance's most important task in the next decade, " [...] Estonian Defense Minister Kalle Laanet said.

From the bmpd point out, that since under the purchase "Мultiple Launch Rocket System" can refer to exclusively purchase of American missile systems М142 HIMARS, it is obvious that the "joint acquisition" data systems Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia will actually be nothing more than disguised as "national flags" deployment in the Baltic perspective of U.S. missiles "lower" - range PrSM, who is now in the testing phase . As you know, the use of PrSM missiles will be one of the main tasks of the HIMARS launchers.
