I’ve been saying for a couple weeks now this was only a matter of time and frankly long overdue. Look what they have done with just 16 HIMARS. Now they can double their coverage. It’s going to be a long Rasputitsa
I don't believe these are coming directly from US stocks , but future build . It doesn't appear they will get these 18 anytime soon.

LINK / " The additional HIMARS will be given under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, meaning they won't be coming from pre- existing stocks & instead will be newly manufactured & sent to Kyiv once finished ". The DoD website confirms this is more a long term investment. Six to 24 months delivery on the weapons listed in this package.


I would hope that they could at least send the longer range missiles for the systems they already have.

The 18 HIMARS were shipped two days ago, order was already completed about 4-5 days before that from what I’ve heard.

There’s already a picture of the 18 HIMARS being loaded at a port. They will have them very soon.
