A damaged M903 launcher, part of the Patriot SAM system, was delivered to the United States.

Dustin Weese posted the video of the delivery on Facebook.

The launcher was delivered to the United States on an An-124 transport aircraft that took off from Rzeszow, Poland, on April 5.

The plane with the number UR-82027 departed Poland at 9:21 a.m. and landed at Harrisburg International Airport in Middletown, Pennsylvania, USA, at 9:36 a.m.

It should be noted that an M860 semitrailer on which transport and launch containers with MIM-104 missiles are installed was delivered to the United States.

The launcher has a military index of M903 and consists of the M860 semitrailer itself, a generator mounted in the front, transport and launch containers, and a data terminal antenna.

It is not yet reported where exactly the launcher was damaged, but according to the footage, it was slightly damaged.

Currently, the launcher is in the USA, and its repair should begin soon.

This is not the first time that Ukrainian equipment has been spotted in the United States.

Militarnyi previously reported that in February 2024, two damaged M142 HIMARS rocket system launchers of the Ukrainian Defense Forces were delivered to the United States.

The author of the video said in the description that on February 10, 2024, a Ukrainian An-124 cargo aircraft landed at Harrisburg International Airport in Middletown, Pennsylvania, USA.

Two HIMARS launchers damaged in the war in Ukraine were quickly unloaded from the aircraft. After loading other U.S. Army vehicles, the AN-124 departed the U.S. airport about two hours after arrival.
