The Himars systems are capable of launching six rockets in each salvo, to a distance of about 70 kilometers, with an extremely high level of accuracy. The system excels in that it is very mobile, and can be stabilized after traveling, fired and folded in a very short time
The US will produce another 480 launchers of the advanced ‘Himars’ weapon system, which has been very successful in changing the state of the war in Ukraine, and is used as a tie-breaking weapon in favor of the Ukrainians. extremely high.
The system excels in that it is very mobile, and it can be stabilized after traveling, fired and folded in a very short time, so that even before the enemy absorbs the rocket barrages fired with it, the system is no longer in the same place from which the rockets were launched, which of course makes it difficult for the enemy to locate the source shoot and destroy it. Also, the absolute accuracy of the relatively ‘stupid’ rockets, enables extremely high performance, with rockets that are cheap in relation to the benefits that can be derived from them.
After the USA equipped Ukraine with various weapons, such as the Javelin missiles and the howitzer guns, which brought about a certain equality between the Ukrainian force and the Russian invading force, the Himars systems arrived and became an equality-breaking weapon, with which Ukraine was able to destroy bridges, ammunition depots, concentration areas of Russian forces, radar systems, air defense systems and more, while the Russians cannot defend themselves against the precise attacks. It is estimated that Ukraine has only eight launchers of this type.
Against this background, it was reported, the United States ordered 480 more systems of this type from the arms manufacturer Lockheed Martin, bringing the number of American Himars launchers to 1,000, according to the reports. Also, it is likely that, in view of the increased tensions in Ukraine And Putin’s announcement about the mobilization of reserve soldiers, the US is expected to equip Ukraine with additional high-quality weapon systems, so that Ukraine can deal with the Russian threat in a better way.
