The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley praised the level of mastery of Western weapons by Ukrainian artillerymen, as well as the use of these skills in the fight against the overwhelming force of the aggressor.
This was reported by Ukrinform.
He noted that the Armed Forces had achieved a serious effect on the battlefield using M777 howitzers provided by the United States and its allies. "And we expect that they, the Ukrainians, will also master the HIMARS systems," the general said.
Despite the fact that Russia has a significant artillery advantage, it mostly inflicts chaotic massive strikes, and the Armed Forces do it more professionally and effectively.
"Ukrainians are fighting in a very effective way — both in terms of tactics and fire, as well as maneuvers."
- The United States will send modern HIMARS multiple rocket launchers to Ukraine by the end of June. The Ukrainian military has already completed its exercises.
