Jul 2022

having read the entire WP article I see the U.S. has sent 9 HIMARS and they're making a big difference. Russia has no defense against them. The Opinion is that 60-100 additional HIMARS would turn the tide.

I'm not sure if that opinion is correct, but that would be a huge expenditures. Doesn't the UK or NATO have a similar system?
