Ukraine announces first delivery of M270 rocket systems
KYIV — Ukraine says it had received its first delivery of a sophisticated rocket-launcher system, adding to a growing arsenal of Western-supplied long-range artillery Kyiv says is changing dynamics on the battlefield.
“The first MLRS M270 have arrived,” Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov says on social media, without mentioning what country had dispatched them.
“They will be good company for HIMARS on the battlefield,” he adds, referring to US precision-rocket systems recently deployed in the conflict.
