According to optimistic forecasts, this will take about 3 months. Military observer Alexander Kovalenko told Channel 24 about this.
Fifty HIMARS in three months
American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems have demonstrated their effectiveness in the fight against Russian invaders. Increasing the number of such weapons will help drive the enemy out of Ukrainian territories.
Soon, Ukraine should receive 50 systems. The military observer emphasized that it is necessary to take into account the bureaucratic red tape that is present in Washington's decision-making and logistics. However, a scenario is also possible, according to which Ukraine will receive weapons faster.
The crews can be trained in a month, and the total amount of equipment received in 3 months, Kovalenko noted.
In his opinion, the Ukrainian defenders need a much larger number of MLRS HIMARS. Thus, 80 units of equipment are required to carry out influence along the entire front line.The United States will transfer HIMARS to Ukraine: what is known
