The proposed sale to Croatia has been justified in terms of supporting a NATO ally and would be in line with recent HIMARS sales to similar allies such asPoland, Estonia and Norway.
The HIMARS consists of a turntable launcher mounted on a 6x6 Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) cross-country truck chassis. Each HIMARS can carry six GMLRS missiles, each with a maximum range of around 43 miles (70km).
Naturally as the HIMARS' manufacturer, the principal contractor on the Croatia sale would be Lockheed Martin out of Grand Prairie, Texas. More than 400 HIMARS units have been sold to date.
