The US has announced a significant arms deal with Estonia, worth over $4 billion. This includes six more Himars launchers and a substantial number of missiles, including ATACMS. This comes after Estonia's recent purchase of twelve Himars launchers and 200 ATACMS missiles for $4.73 billion, doubling its previous order. Meanwhile, Australia has been authorized to buy 48 Himars systems for $705 million to enhance interoperability with US forces.
The new contract with Estonia will provide a total of 856 GMLRS packages and 182 ATACMS missiles. This deal is a substantial boost to Estonia's defence capabilities, following its earlier purchase of similar equipment. The US has also approved the sale of 48 Himars launchers to Australia, worth $705 million. This sale aims to strengthen Australia's maritime strike capability and improve interoperability with US forces.
The US continues to support its allies with advanced military equipment. The latest deals with Estonia and Australia demonstrate a commitment to enhancing their defence capabilities and interoperability with US forces.
