Estonian Defense Minister stated that an agreement was reached with the US to resume deliveries.
In mid-July, Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur announced that an agreement had been reached with the United States to resume weapon deliveries. While various types of ammunition were expected to arrive within the coming months depending on logistics, the Minister noted that delivery timelines were shifting from a scale of months to weeks.
According to reports, all ordered munitions had been cleared for transport with the exception of ATACMS missiles for HIMARS. The availability of these missiles remained on hold due to the ongoing war in Iran, with no further information available regarding ATACMS at that time.
