He said he justified the attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine has received four US-made high-mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS), Defense Minister Olexi Reznikov said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thanks to @POTUS and @SecDef Lloyd Austin III, and the people (in the US) for strengthening #UAarmy,&#8221; Reznikov wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>HIMARS has a longer range and accuracy than Ukrainian Soviet-era rocket artillery, allowing Ukrainian troops to attack Russian targets that were previously unreachable.<\/p>\n<p>Experts estimate that Ukraine already operates up to 12 HIMARS systems.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian army also received three MARSIIM LRS, the German version of the US-made M270 multiple launch rocket system. The delivery was announced on July 26 by German Defense Minister Christina Lambrecht.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Germany&#8217;s MLRSMARS II, the third brother of the Longhand family, has arrived in Ukraine,&#8221; Reznikov wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>According to the specifications of the manufacturer Krauss-Maffei Wegman, the MLRS MARS II can attack targets up to 70 km (43 miles), depending on the type of ammunition used.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to destroy troops and equipment, air defense, command posts and communications, and lay minefields.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine has received German Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzers so far. On July 26, Rambrecht also announced the delivery of five Gepard anti-aircraft systems.<\/p>\n<p>Kieu previously stated that he needed 1,000 howitzers, 500 tanks and 1,000 drones, among other heavy weapons, to repel Russian troops.<\/p>\n<p>Other countries supplying Ukraine with artillery systems include the United States, United Kingdom, France, Norway and Poland.<\/p>\n<p>Russia describes its actions in Ukraine as a &#8220;special operation&#8221; to demilitarize its neighbors. Ukraine and the West dismissed this as an excuse for an unfounded war.
