The United States’ State Department’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency and the Estonian Centre for Defence Investments (EDCI), Estonia’s military procurement agency, signed an agreement at the end
of 2022 for the purchase of the launchers following the DSCA’s approval of the sale in June that year.
The November delivery fulfills a $436 million
foreign military sales (FMS) case that was notified to Congress in
October 2020, an almost four-year gap between notification and final delivery. Earlier press reporting suggested delivery of this sale would be completed sometime in 2025, so this first batch of HIMARS may have arrived a little ahead of schedule.
Taiwan is still waiting on delivery of a second batch of 18 HIMARS launchers and munitions valued at $520 million, which were notified to Congress in December
2022. This second batch is scheduled to arrive in
2026. Taiwan ordered the additional HIMARS after canceling a $750 million FMS case for Paladin self-propelled howitzers.
