Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur (Reform) said on Friday the U.S. will redeploy its HIMARS multiple rocket launcher unit to Lithuania and rotate a tank unit in Estonia in its place.
The HIMARS unit Task Force Voit was deployed to Estonia in 2022 at short notice after Estonia signed agreements to purchase the equipment from the U.S.
The unit’s role was to teach the Estonian Defense Forces how to use the multiple rocket launchers. It has also taken part in various military exercises since 2022.
The first six HIMARS systems purchased by Estonia arrived in April of this year and have already been tested.
The United States will now move the same unit to neighboring countries.
