It could take a few months to build the launchers, source the missiles, train Ukrainian operators and deploy the overall system. “I'll say any Harpoon missiles will be coming from allies and partners.”The U.S. military has hundreds of Harpoons in its arsenal, but no ground launchers for the missiles.
