The HIMARS is a mobile rocket launcher that can strike targets from 40 to over 300 miles away, depending on the type of rocket it is outfitted with. The rockets that the administration has decided to send are on the shorter end and can reach up to 48 miles.
In a statement on Wednesday, President Joe Biden said “The United States will stand with our Ukrainian partners and continue to provide Ukraine with weapons and equipment to defend itself” amid the ongoing Russian military operation there.
The latest package, which is the 11th one that the US has sent to Ukraine, was announced after Biden received assurances from Kiev that it would not use the systems to hit targets inside Russian territory.
“We are not encouraging or enabling Ukraine to strike beyond its borders,” Biden wrote in an opinion article published Tuesday in The New York Times, sketching a rough outline of the latest package.
