BC, if you read the responses, it seems there is significant doubt by responders that these M270 have been supplied, and there is no official confirmation.
However, this site (I know nothing about this site -- it may be Russian) seems to say they are there (with purported video), and in one of their other postings, says that a US official (named) spoke of them to reporters. I don't find that in US news anywhere. The quote allegedly was "Now Ukraine has other needs. Ukraine needs long-range weapons, for example, howitzers. Ukraine needs more anti-tank weapons and transport, for example, armored vehicles, and now we are providing it. We already supply MLRS systems. " That doesn't specifically say the M270, and he could have been talking about the fact that we supply them to other countries, so supplying them to the Ukraine would not be impossible.
Here's an article describing the M270.
A key item for Russia will be the range of the rockets/missiles deployed. The aria-pro.net site described ranges up to 500 km, which I didn't see in the other couple of articles I looked at.
