Germany will send all weapons only after preliminary training of military personnel.

Recall that MARS II is nothing more than a European modernization of the American multiple launch rocket system M270. It is equipped with an updated fire control system of the company Airbus Defense and Space, which allows you to use rockets M31, M31Aone, M32 and AT2.

The maximum range is 45-75 km, depending on the ammunition. Note that MARS II can not fire M26, M26A1, and M30 missiles. This is done in order not to violate the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
