Ukraine Awaits FP-9 Missile as U.S. Long-Range HIMARS Round Slips to Mid-2030s
Original: After FP-7 Combat Debut Ukraine Awaits FP-9 Launch, U.S. Won't Have Own 1,000km HIMARS Missile Until Mid-2030s

Meanwhile, reports indicate the United States will not field its own 1,000 km-class HIMARS-launched missile until the mid-2030s, leaving a capability gap that Ukraine's rapidly developed domestic systems are helping to fill in the war against Russia.
