The adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak wondered how the American MLRS HIMARS will need to Kiev to "completely change the course of the war" in their favor.
In his opinion, the APU is sufficiently fifty plants that will cost excluding ammunition "only" $ 200 million.
— led simple calculations adviser to the head of GTC.
According to some reports, the Pentagon has offered Kiev a total of 16 MLRS HIMARS, a few installations crawler Ukraine straightened Germany and the UK. According to the Russian defense Ministry, at least six American jet systems of volley fire had destroyed the armed forces. In Kiev deny this information, claiming that all HIMARS are in order and "excellent work."
Built on what calculations of the Kiev authorities and why in order to "change the course of the war," they need exactly 50 MLRS, Podolyak not explained. Apparently, it's some kind of magic number. No wonder the head of the office of the Ukrainian President Andrey Ermak wrote in a telegram channel that "we need at least 50 such effective MLRS and HIMARS as soon as possible," adding that Zelensky on behalf of the Kiev authorities are doing"everything to get closer to this number".
In turn, the Pentagon refused to send to Ukraine MLRS and M142 Himars M270 MLRS at least until the end of the month, limiting the supply of ammunition to these installations. As stated by Deputy head of the U.S. Department of defense Colin KAHL, the "Ukrainians nice things with the number of systems, and the priority now is actually ensuring a steady supply" of ammunition.
Some military experts believe that the suspension of supplies to Ukraine of heavy weapons by the United States as being related to the loss of six "Hamarov". According to unofficial sources, the Pentagon is also very saddened by the large number of destroyed the armed forces of the ammunition depots of the armed forces. And if Deputy PP 200 million dollars is not money, it is America's allies seem to believe otherwise. The cost of one missile to the MLRS Himars is $ 150,000, and just to waste precious ammunition that not even get to the front, in Washington, apparently, got sick.
Also voiced version that American commanders are concerned about the possibility that the Himars in the hands of the Russian military. In addition, in the case of the provision of the requested Kiev fifty MLRS in the United States simply will not be able to provide them with the right number of missiles and install'll just pointless to stand.
It turns out that now in Kiev, probably, will be forced to accuse Washington of that APU, I am unable to start repeatedly announced a counter-offensive to at least some part of the front.
