Estonia to double its number of M142 HIMARS

Estonia is preparing for a significant expansion of its long-range artillery capabilities. According to a notification submitted to the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Tallinn has formally requested the purchase of six additional M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) along with a large stockpile of precision munitions. The request was outlined on September 29, 2025, by Michael F. Miller, Director of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA). If approved, Estonia’s inventory of HIMARS launchers will increase from six to twelve, significantly boosting the firepower of its armed forces.
