Reznikov didn't clarify how many systems have arrived in Ukraine. Ben Wallace announced on August 10 that he would send Ukraine three more multiple rocket launchers in addition to the three already delivered, as well as a significant number of missiles that they launch.
The first British M270 MLRS arrived in Ukraine in July.
The M270 systems are capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 80 kilometers with high accuracy. Norway's Ministry of Defence promised to replace them.
