Ukraine has been using HIMARS since the summer of 2022. The wheeled, multiple-rocket launchers arrived in Ukraine in June 2022 and were hailed as “powerful tools” by Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky then said that “HIMARS and other precision weapons are turning the course of war in our favor” in late July 2022.

The U.S. has provided 38 HIMARS to Ukraine in its military aid packages, in addition to ammunition for the artillery systems.
