Estonia, which is part of the NATO alliance, is expected to receive the US-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) in the coming weeks, according to Hanno Pevkur, the country’s defense minister.
The defense minister of Estonia, a Baltic country bordering Russia, stated that the country will receive a medium-range air defense system, as well as self-propelled artillery and some 220 armored vehicles for its defense forces. The HIMARS system, used by the Ukrainian military to fire a range of the ATACMS missile (approximately 186 miles) into Russian-held territory, has been demonstrated by US military personnel stationed in Estonia. These personnel have already trained members of the Estonian Defense Forces (EDF) in the operation of the HIMARS system.
Former Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has backed Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion. In December, Kaja Kallas was appointed Vice President of the European Commission, overseeing foreign affairs and security policy.
