On Sept. 3, the U.S. Embassy in Ankara said U.S. forces hit ISIL targets overnight near Turkey’s border with Syria using HIMARS.
“Last night: U.S. HIMARS in place and in action. The latest step in U.S.-Turkey cooperation in the fight against #ISIL,” the embassy tweeted.
It was not immediately clear when the system was deployed at Turkey’s border but a deal with Washington, which would have seen HIMARS deployed along Turkey’s border with Syria to combat ISIL at the end of May, was previously delayed until it was deployed around mid-August.
