As much as I like the sentiment, is launchers the bottleneck, though? Wouldn't the missiles be a better purchase?

These could replace those that need maintenance or have been damaged.

I thought the US wanted to replace damaged US gear? Also, don't they have lots of M270 launchers too? They're more protected for more dangerous launch areas.

There was only ammo for them in the last aid package.

More launchers with less ammunition could be a good deterrent. You can cover more area and launch less missiles becuase the enemy would just avoid more area. Also they can be useful spares in case of massive attacks.

That, or maybe the purchase also covers ammunition. I expect they come with technical support and maintenance service, so why not supply service?
