Ukraine receives four more HIMARS systems – Reznikov

Four more M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) have arrived in Ukraine from the United States.

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov on Twitter, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“4 additional HIMARS have arrived in Ukraine. I’m grateful to President of the United States Joe Biden, United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and American people for strengthening of the Ukrainian Army,” Reznikov wrote.

In his words, the Ukrainian military have proven to be smart operators of HIMARS systems on the battlefield.

“The sound of the HIMARS volley has become a top hit of this summer at the front lines,” Reznikov added.
