I was reading about these yesterday. still in development but hopefully a way to use large stockpile of weapons using the new launchers. apparently both the key parts have significant stock piles available.

HIMARS strikes hitting Polohy and Tokmak have inflicted a big amount of Russian losses.
Both,troops and equipment have been taken out.

Slava Ukraini.

I agree but is there any significance in actually naming which area of use this money is actually to be used for?

ATACMS missile....2 through your letterbox from 300km.....not got these though.

NATO on the same road I suggest or is it the same story ie I saw it first on CNN USA then a NATO story later on BBC.
