US Congressman Kinzinger calls for sending HIMARS artillery system to Georgia

Congressman Adam Kinzinger, the Co-Chair of the Georgia Caucus of the United States House of Representatives, on Sunday made a call for sending the high mobility artillery rocket system (HIMARS) platforms to Georgia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

In his tweet Kinzinger noted that Russia occupied one third of the territory of Georgia, referring to the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region (South Ossetia).

It seems that after Russia gets humiliated in Ukraine, maybe there will be a fire sale on Russian occupied lands. HIMARS to Georgia”, he tweeted. 

The HIMARS rocket system fires long-range missiles up to 50 miles with precision and is mounted on a standard truck frame.

Ukrainian forces have used the weapons as part of their counter-offensive in the south of the country, in particular the Russian-occupied city of Kherson.
