The Pentagon has decided to request nearly $180 million from the US budget for fiscal year 2024 to purchase 28 HIMARS Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS).

This is the amount reported by the military in the US Department of Defense’s proposed defense budget.

In addition, the department planned to receive funds for the purchase of 541 Javelin anti-tank systems – about 200 million dollars, and 5,000 guided missiles worth almost 890 million dollars are also needed. The agency also needs 366 MLRS short-range missiles for $10 million.

Earlier it became known that official Tbilisi would not dare to open a second front against Russia, and there is a completely logical explanation for this.
