According to Dow Jones, in addition to the M31 GMLRS, the new military assistance package will also include High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems or Himars. Their range is comparable to the MLRS, but unlike the M31 GMLRS, Himars move on wheeled truck chassis.
The source of the agency said that, according to calculations, both systems can give the Ukrainian military greater mobility than the M777 howitzers that the United States is still sending to Ukraine.
It is unclear how many new systems the United States will provide, but one official said they could arrive in Ukraine within weeks. The United States also said Ukrainian forces would need at least a week of training to use them, Dow Jones said.
