The U.S. since June has supplied Ukrainian forces with 20 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System launchers, or Himars, and a large inventory of satellite-guided rockets with a range of almost 50 miles. Those rockets, known as the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System, or GMLRS, have been used to strike Russian ammunition depots, logistics supplies and command centers on Ukrainian territory.
But the Himars launchers have a unique feature intended to prevent them from becoming even more potent battlefield systems. U.S. officials say the Pentagon has modified the launchers so they can’t fire long-range missiles, including the U.S.’s Army Tactical Missile System rockets, or ATACMS, which have a range of nearly 200 miles.
The WSJ noted further that the previously unreported modifications to the launchers and the projectiles demonstrate how far the deep state has gone to ensure that its support for Kyiv remains balanced and does not risk escalation with Russia's forces which, truthfully, appear to have their hands full just fighting the Ukrainians. The modifications also ensure that the Ukrainians don't renege on their pledge not to strike Russian territory, though they would be in their rights to do so since Russia is the invader.
