Ukraine received the first tranche of M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) from the U.S. on Thursday, a long-awaited arrival that Ukrainian defense officials have been asking for to deter Russian forces according to a report from Fox News. 

“Summer will be hot for Russian occupiers. And the last one for some of them,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov tweeted on Thursday. The HIMARS gives Ukrainian forces the ability to strike Russian artillery from 45 to 50 miles away and adds to the toolbox of weapons that the West has provided the country’s military, which includes drones, anti-tank Javelin missiles, anti-aircraft Stinger missiles, tactical vehicles, and thousands of small arms.

After the U.S. announced the transfer of four HIMARS to Ukraine earlier this month, Putin warned the West that it would strike new targets in Ukraine.
