The United States will work out the "rapid deployment" of the MLRS HIMARS in the territory of Latvia

The United States will deploy HIMARS rocket launchers to Latvia as part of Exercise NAMEJS, demonstrating "rapid deployment" of the systems on NATO's eastern flank. This was reported in a press release from the command of the US Army in Europe and Africa.

The US will transfer two HIMARS MLRS to Latvia, after which they will be deployed in two different regions of the country as part of the NAMEJS exercises. Two C-130 military transport aircraft will be used for the transfer. It is worth noting that this is not the first deployment of these complexes on Latvian territory, as well as the M270 MLRS. In May of this year, firing was carried out at the Adazi military base as part of the Summer Shield 2022 exercises.

The US Army Europe and Africa Command will deploy two M142 MLRS (HIMARS) and about ten troops to Latvia in support of the NAMEJS national readiness exercise on September 26 to demonstrate the rapid deployment of a precision-guided weapons long-range on NATO's eastern flank

- said in a statement.

Earlier, all three Baltic republics announced plans to purchase American MLRS HIMARS, and Estonia and Lithuania have already begun to purchase. In July of this year, the US State Department approved the supply of six MLRS and ammunition to Tallinn. Estonia plans to receive all six new MLRS by 2025. The contract value is $500 million. In addition, Estonia plans to receive both conventional ammunition and long-range missiles capable of delivering strikes at a distance of up to 300 km.

By issuing permission to supply these complexes to the Baltic countries, the United States is actually deploying missiles with a firing range of up to 300 km near the borders of Russia, and upon receipt of PrSM - up to 500 and more. And there are no restrictions on accommodation here.

Have you come? Did you jump? Did you jump? Now solve the problem.

This problem appeared in 1992: why tear hairs now?

[Vladimir Michailovich]

Oh well? Who fed the Balts and Ukraine with oil, gas and transit income?

Yeah, the Balts just snickered))))

Why, Shoigu handed out such binoculars to us, we admire .... It is high time to revise or cancel all agreements on satellites and aircraft.

[Emergency]

Decided, don't be fooled. And more serious problems were solved.

[Ros 56]

The problem is solved very simply, by the lack of ports and airfields. The railway is cut from Belorussia to Kaliningrad and ............ fso, tribalts in a paddock.

[tralflot1832]

C - 130 flies faster than Vanguard, Zircon and Voyevoda?

[Fedor M]

The plane is large, not every airfield will accept it. Please bomb suitable lanes

Something in Ukraine does not prevent anyone from supplying weapons .. Do you think this will not work with the Baltic states? Everything will work out in the same way .. Only instead of Belgorod it will be Pskov, for example ..

Something in Ukraine does not prevent anyone from supplying weapons .. Do you think this will not work with the Baltic states? It will work exactly the same..

Exactly the same - it will not work in any case. Ukraine is almost one and a half thousand linear kilometers of deep rear, filled with dozens of equipped runways for the largest liners and transport workers. And Latvia is 200 km at the farthest point from our border. And there are orders of magnitude less high-quality runways than in Ukraine. And those single ones that are available are even available to our front-line MLRS, capable of throwing up to a distance of 120-130 km. (for example, Tornado-S and Uragan-1M). And for SMD missiles - there’s nothing to even talk about. With them, ours will be able to shoot at sprat militarists even from Moscow :))
I don’t know how events will develop there in general ... but in matters of our helplessness to prevent US air supplies of weapons like in Ukraine, it certainly won’t happen with Latvia, since all of Latvia is shot through from Russian territory, even without other installations leaving places permanent deployment.

[Dikson]

The Baltics are full members of NATO .. ​​So ours will think for a long time before responding with anything other than "concerns" in which case .. And therefore, at least a hundred "Chimeras" will appear there - we can’t say anything. Until their first salvo across Russia...

[Ros 56]

Since when did the rug under the door become a member of the family???

[Dikson]

You know, I honestly don’t understand stupid bravado or boorish-pejorative attitude towards citizens of any country .. "black monkeys", "stupid Americans", "braked Balts" or there "Jews cunningly ... invented" .. It's all stupid and idiotically presumptuous .. Remind you about "white tights"? How many of our boys died at the hands of these "incompetent" Balts and "rugs at the threshold", as you called them here .. They are our enemies. And enemies must be taken seriously. So that later you don’t wave your hands into the empty, wiping bloody snot ..

[Ros 56]

Do not mix political and sarcastic assessments with pantyhose. I traveled around the SOVIET Baltic states during the Soviet era and never heard a rude word. And what they are doing now speaks of their lack of independence, ours will come and they will sing other songs, so they will always be a rug until they hit their horns, but it is very expensive, this is called sovereignty, which they will never have. This is not their fault, this is their sad lot, especially since the Great Peter bought them from the Swedes. Well, they have a plan.

[3danimal]

ours will come and they will sing other songs

Of course, when we kill 1%, we plant 10% and another 20-30% will leave. The rest will be afraid and know their place
The trouble is that, assuming such a possibility and knowing about such sentiments among Russians, they (after 10 years of persistent scratching at the door) became part of the NATO member countries.
Thus, drastically raising the cost of their "pressing to the nail."
Weaker and more attractive candidates are the former republics or CMEA countries, which are not yet part of the bloc.
Same Moldova.

This is not their fault, this is their sad lot, especially since the Great Peter bought them from the Swedes. Well, they have a plan.

This is not the 18th century, remember?
Since then, a lot of oxen have flown away. The USA ceased to be a colony, India, China.

[Fedor M]

During the exercises, the transfer is made directly to the Baltic states. When there is another "legend", then we will write about other ways. And by the way, we really prevent them from supplying weapons to the end user.

[Dikson]

Really? And how? We sink their transports? Blinding pilots on landing with a laser? We unscrew the rails? How can we prevent the transfer of NATO forces between our countries? And by the way, they are very seriously jamming our satellite communications with the beginning of the NWO. But no one talks about it out loud. But in the entire European part of our country there are problems with communication through our satellites and communication with satellites to control them .. That's the thing .. And you are all electronic warfare, electronic warfare, buckets of bolts .. yeah ..

[Fedor M]

If there is a war, we will sink, shoot down, etc.

[3danimal]

But on the other hand, they will drown, shoot down, etc.
There are many times more planes, ships - too, the possibilities for their reproduction are an order of magnitude greater.
And how to be? Unless you try to take them "on the weak", based on their cowardice.
On the other hand, if the goal is not to return the former imperial territories in the Baltics, then the problem is removed.

[Fedor M]

The Russian Federation clearly has more missiles than the "partners" have transport workers

[3danimal]

Do you think they will allow them to hit transport workers with impunity, without using superior technology to knock out our missile carriers?
It would be great

[Fedor M]

We are doing it now and no one is stopping us from striking Ukraine

[3danimal]

We are doing it now

Are we sinking American transport ships with weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine? Are we striking airfields in Poland, where this equipment is unloaded from US Air Force aircraft and is stored quite compactly for some time?

[Fedor M]

There will be a war, we will drown the American ones. Until then, this is all teaching. I'm telling you about our capabilities, but they are. What a stupid, uninteresting interlocutor you are

[3danimal]

Remember: I originally asked if you think there will be opposition from the other side to our attempts to sink transports.
And how effective it will be in the light of their superiority in aviation, people, etc.
Will there be retaliatory actions on our military logistics and how sensitive?

[3danimal]

Do you understand that there will be a bunch of targets all over Europe in an instant?
And there will be retaliatory strikes, a full-fledged war with the entire Organization (North Atlantic ..)
Is it possible to divert the attention of the United States by starting a landing in Alaska?

[Uprun]

It will no longer be possible to respond symmetrically without loss ...., and we are not the only people with the Tribalts, never once ...

[Ros 56]

Duc in the same Latvia, about 40% of Russians, so it's not over yet.

[yuriy55]

Why shouldn't Russia also declare about the development of targets by the Iskanders, in connection with the threat posed to the security of Russia and the Republic of Belarus?

[rocket757]

The United States will work out the "rapid deployment" of the MLRS HIMARS in the territory of Latvia

. Well ... is anyone surprised?

[mitroha]

Quote: rocket757

Well ... is anyone surprised?

And why should this be surprising, after they have been in NATO for so many years? News, by and large about anything. If NATO troops and NATO planes have been there for a long time, then why shouldn't there be other NATO weapons there?
It was necessary to be surprised when they were allowed to swim freely and then to NATO, without conditions.

Well, we will work out their meeting with our Tornadoes right on the positions.

[SASHA OLD]

"The United States will work out the "rapid deployment" of the MLRS HIMARS in the territory of Latvia"
wow how are you! this is to use against us ..?
Well...
then there will be a "rapid curtailment" of Latvia
