“4 additional HIMARS have arrived in Ukraine. I’m grateful to the President of the United States, Joe Biden, United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and the American people for the strengthening of the Ukrainian Army,” Reznikov wrote.
According to him, the Ukrainian military has proven to be smart operators of HIMARS systems on the battlefield.
“The sound of the HIMARS volley has become a top hit of this summer at the front lines,” Reznikov added.
