A video of the unloading of Antonov An-124 heavy transport aircraft, that contained the launcher, was published by American photographer and aircraft spotter Dustin Weese on Facebook.
The launcher was delivered to the U.S. by An-124 transport aircraft that departed Rzeszów, Poland, on April 5. The plane, with registration number UR-82027, departed Poland at 9:21 a.m. and soon landed at Harrisburg International Airport in Middletown, Pennsylvania, USA.

It is worth noting that the M860 semi-trailer was delivered to the U.S., on which shipping and launch containers with MIM-104 missiles are mounted. A full-fledged launcher with M903 military index consists of M860 semi-trailer, a front-mounted generator, shipping and launch containers and a data link terminal antenna.
It is not yet known exactly where the launcher was damaged, but from the video, it appears to have sustained minor damage. The launcher is currently in the U.S. and repairs should begin soon.
