According to the U.S. Department of Defence, the first stage of training will last about 3 weeks. Then, the U.S. complexes could be deployed with the AFU in Ukraine.
The range of HIMARS reaches up to 300 kilometers. Thus, it threatens the Russian territories. According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, “long-range missile systems are expected to be delivered to Shostka in the Sumy region from the United States”. The systems are expected to be used to carry out bloody provocations by the Kiev regime. LINK
