Despite the statements of the Ukrainian and Western press about additional supplies of MLRS M142 HIMARS to Ukraine, a decision on this has not yet been made. According to the Pentagon, the issue of possible delivery to Kiev of another batch of rocket artillery installations is under consideration.

To date, the United States has already sent four MLRS M142 HIMARS to Ukraine, it is claimed that they entered service with the AFU in early June. Later it was reported that the second batch of MLRS will be delivered in the near future, it will include eight rocket launchers, i.e. the total number of MLRS will be 12 (twelve) installations. However, the Pentagon denied this information, saying that the issue of sending the second batch has not yet been resolved, and we are talking about four installations, not eight.

The Pentagon is inclined to send four additional missile launchers to Ukraine as the next tranche of military aid

- said an unnamed source in the Biden administration, adding that the decision is likely to be positive.

Thus, the United States will supply Ukraine with eight HIMARS MLRS with precision-guided GMLRS (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System) ammunition with a firing range of 60 km. In addition, three, not four MARS II MLRS, which are the German version of the M270 MLRS installation, will be supplied by Germany, and three more M270B1 by the United Kingdom. Also, together with the installations, M31A1 ammunition will be delivered, which are guided missiles for the M270 MLRS with a range of up to 70 km.

The United States also intends to provide Ukraine with intelligence information about targets on Ukrainian territory so that the APU does not waste expensive ammunition on secondary targets.
