The US will deliver Ukraine with the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), which can precisely reach targets up to 80 kilometers (50 miles) away.
In a New York Times opinion article, US President Joe Biden said that he will “provide the Ukrainians with more advanced rocket systems and munitions that will enable them to more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield in Ukraine.”
According to authorities, the package also includes ammunition, counter-fire radars, several air surveillance radars, more Javelin anti-tank missiles, and anti-armor weaponry.
In the hopes of changing the tide in the three-month-long battle, Ukrainian leaders have asked allies for longer-range missile systems that can unleash a salvo of rockets hundreds of kilometers distant.
Meanwhile, after a failed attempt to conquer Kyiv three months into the conflict, Russia is focused on its assault in the south.
