Seems like quite some effort flying them back and forth for servicing. Surely US could do the work also in their european bases?
Saw these photos this morning as "being loaded" and as in Ukraine. So I don't know if the info this morning was incorrect or this is incorrect.
Poland operates himars and repairs much stuff for Ukraine, so shipping them to the US seems weird. But maybe because of specific damage.
Well, here's the watermarked source:

They link to a The War Zone article that has video of units being unloaded from a strategic airlifter, with more pictures.

That does sound like they require repair work.
