The U.S. State Department has approved the potential sale of long-range missiles, rockets and launchers to Poland in a deal valued at up to $10 billion, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.
Poland has been on a spending spree to modernize its military while simultaneously donating older weapons to its neighbor Ukraine to fight Russia's invasion.
The potential sale includes High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems , which Kyiv has praised for their battlefield successes such as destroying Russian warehouses and command posts. The package includes 18 HIMARS launchers, 45 of the 185-mile range Army Tactical Missile System missiles and more than 1,559 Guided Multiple Rocket Launch System rockets.
The United States has rebuffed Ukraine's requests for ATACMS missiles and Poland would not be allowed to transfer any to Ukraine without U.S. approval. The Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of the potential sale on Tuesday.
