I feel strongly I can
confirm those
M270 MRLS that arrived in the
Ukraine on the
15th of this month are from the
UK.
I already knew the UK started training crews on theirs before Norway and Germany and us "bringing up the rear".
Also, the following ref. tells me the same,
for what it's not saying concerning the M270 MRLS. It does
NOT mention "Training is still ongoing..." or "The M270 MRLS upon completion of training is expected to be delivered sometime..."
Why does this matter about who sent it?
Because the
UK versions have fairly recently been updated (FCS etc. etc.) almost to the standard of our
new M2 version which the USA just took delivery of the
FIRST UNIT last week. This also allows for the firing of the newer longer-range
ATACMS (300km Rng.) missiles.
But for immediate game value, concerning the UK version it has a much better protected crew cab and a new engine which will increase its speed.
You'll also note in the first ref. that the
UK helped the Ukraine buy the additional (
20) Belgium
M109A4BE 155mm tracked self-propelled howitzers they didn't buy.
