Ukraine will receive up to 30 foreign-made multiple launch rocket systems in total, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Ermak said. At the same time, he cited the statement of the head of the Armed Forces Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives Adam Smith.
Kiev says that the United States intends to transfer up to 30 MLRS to Kiev, taking into account the ones already delivered, and we are talking not only about HIMARS, but also M270 MLRS, which should be supplied by the European allies of the United States - Germany and the United Kingdom, as well as possibly other countries. In general, there is a discussion of the delivery of 25-30 MLRS, the final decision has not yet been made. At the same time, the Americans stressed that it is not worth waiting for any 50 installations that are required in Kiev.
- said the American congressman.
Earlier, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Reznikov said that Kiev needs 50 MLRS HIMARS to stop the offensive of the Russian army and at least twice as much to start its own.
Meanwhile, Kiev says that a more pressing issue today is the supply of ammunition for Western MLRS, preferably long-range. As the adviser to the head of the presidential office, Mikhail Podolyak, said, in order to win this war, Kiev needs to receive ammunition from the United States, hitting at a range of over a hundred kilometers. Zelensky's office continues to sing the praises of the HIMARS MLRS and declare that only American complexes can bring victory.
