Such a powerful and versatile artillery system! I was MLRS for over 21 years and helped field HIMARS with some of the best NCOs and contractors I've ever worked with. I can tell you that the dude on the bicycle's ears were ringing for days at a minimum. That was a VERY dangerous place to be. The front covers of the rocket tubes blow out at high speed and are heavy. They could easily kill you being that close.
Good on you for going out in the world to get all this, and good on the Corps for taking you along. I have no doubt that was a lot of early mornings, paperwork, briefings, security stuff and all that.
1:30 "They use the labels for tracking, and we had to blur some of the details for operational security" _Proceeds to get as close as possible to the labels_
While there is only a lock stopping the unauthorized access to the HIMARS, remember that there is a whole battalion guarding the installation as a whole before you can even get to that motor pool.
Why I love the channel is *not what you think* 😂 for real though this channel is one of my favorites! Super fascinating way to present the information!
@@Makroti1050-z9ythey’ve actually destroyed 2,000 of them according to the Russian government. They somehow destroyed more than exist in Europe . Russia is so good
15:21 For reference The Philippines "generally" uses spanish terms for it's people. For nations ending with "n" sounds, it's transformed into "-no" or "-niano" So Phillipine people are = Filipino (not Philippinise) Same with the below: American = Amerikano Indian = Indiano Chinese = Chino Australian = Australiano (Australyano) And so on. Exception to this is Japan.(As with all things in the world...) Great coverage BTW! At this point it's like your an official part of the Military Press LOL. Hope you get more coverage on warbirds soon! Though I believe it might be challenging to film
Thanks for letting us know. This is AI translation and dubbing, and I'm confident that the quality will improve as AI gets better at this sort of thing.
The level of technology in modern combat machinery is mind-blowing! It's incredible to see how advanced these weapons have become, blending precision and power with cutting-edge innovation. 🚀💥
PrSM is a whole different beast than the ATACMS and it is something that will keep Chinese up at night. PrSM missile with upto a 1000km range and have the ability to hit moving objects ie ships. So basically it will be ASBM capable of being launched from the 6x6 Himars. Of course the Chinese DF-21 and DF-26 still outrange and packs massive punch but it has one big problem. Those two are carried on the massive 10x10 and 12x12 (can see that TEL from space) truck with little to no off-road capability/deployability/mobility. Putting PrSM on 6x6 Himars chassis, being smaller means it can be transported by C-130 (potentially by CH-53K helicopter too) , more off road capable and be deployed on a wider range of remote areas (not just on flat piece of road) making it unpredictable for the PLA Navy. Just ask the Russians how that Himars hunting is going for them. The other is the recent Tomahawk attached unmanned 4x4 JLTV chassis. Has the same range as DF-21 and although subsonic can still hit ship and carry massive punch. This one, not only can C-130 carry a few, but it can be even air-transported and air-dropped by Osprey, CH-47 and CH-53 (and possibly by V-280) too. To exterminate this threat China would literally have to spend every munition destroying any 4x4 they see on satellite to guarantee that its ship would not be targeted. I do not know about you but that is a battle China would lose. Far more 4x4 in circulation than missiles.

Yep. Though it's important to remember there's a difference between changing the game and winning it. There really are politicians who believe that a few "game changers" should have won the war in Ukraine.
1. I wish our troops would train with camouflage! ; _ ; That tiny spot of ULCANS on the cabin was beat to smithereens and sure wasn't doing much. No one else was using any either, save for that FDC (and only when it was stationary). No system can be used as well as it should without training, especially complex systems. 2. Having a built-in reloading crane is cool af. 3. Having a built-in electronic simulator is cool af. Cool vid!
GMLRS flies roll stabilized so those spiral guides in the MLRS launch tubes are a problem. Fixed by putting the fin section on bearings so it spins while the rocket doesn't.
My grandpa was a Marine who served in Vietnam in the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines during the time that gave the group the name "the walking dead." The US Marines are tough SOBs.
Very good video for watching while eating my breakfast :) Though it would of been cool to hear what type of gases came out from the rockets when fired and how might they have affect the soldiers if they were not protected inside the cabin. Those camouflage netting was very cool to see, from the outside and then from the inside!
There's a video on the "tube" that has a guy with a gizmo that you poke a hole into the mole hill, fill the tunnels with a mixture of methane and Oxygen, then set it of with a spark! Very effective! But you should plan on replanting/sodding your lawn when finished! 😅 Don't know how to find it, just popped up one day!
I've only made it past the intro this time and just HAD to comment this time ; Only GOD and I only know how much I love this channel! I'm EXTATIC to see you reporting in-person more and getting Official Recognition from the government and military officials! I get a weird sensation of "Proudness" when I see, not just another upload, but better quality, better production, witty jokes, references, ON TOP OF boring factual information that you transform into an Interesting, beautiful, elegant story that this "picky eater" (ME) can digest comfortably. In fact , I could go for seconds :) I am glad you're doing well (I assume) and can't wait to see you grow some more... and you know, i AM proud :)) I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THIS, LET ME GET MY FOOD!!
Thanks so much man! I had so much fun reading your comment. We do hope to have more in-person visits and continue making better and better content. Bon appétit !
This was such a cool experience. We wish you could have been there with us!
btw, what's the coolest thing that you learned about HIMARS?
That it had the same reload clip as the M270
You Dutch? Because of the title?
I love your IRL videos; they do such a good job at covering all bases
That the russians had made it useless for ukraine
@@rohanvenema2427No, he just translates the titles, i had it in swedish
I love the bicyclist driving around the himars in the beginning lol
Ukrainian people are tough :)
That was in Ukraine.
It's anti-air not anti-bike, duuuuhhh
@@matthewishunting HIMARS is surface to surface, not surface to air
@@matthewishuntingthe Himars system is not an Anti air system. Its a surface to surface rocket system.

It was a lot of fun 😊
90% paperwork believe it or not
@@gg-eo6ez I'll absolutely believe it. The DOD runs on paperwork.
@@arthurmoore9488 the sheer amount of paperwork plays a big part in us veterans saying we'd never go again

Hehe I know! Because we walked past all of them first.
Damn that Lockheed dude has an awesome job!

Not What You Think of Space!!
Dude i dunno why in particular, but the UA dude casually driving bicycle next to a Himars launch made me lmao.
His Ebike batteries runs out maybe so he had to do pedal power 😂😂😂
I remember going to a airshow as a kid. It was at a joint base so the army brought out a striker to show off and it had a UPS shipping label on it.
Awesome work! Shout out to the Devil Dogs for letting you and the rest of us check it out.

Wow! This is a totally awesome episode👏, and it’s even cooler that you got to actually witness HIMARS IRL with the Marines!
In the last 3 months Russia has destroyed more than 24 of these Himars in ukraine.

when my son was with the 1/7 C Company in a dirt fort, Sangin Afghanistan, he was thankful for HIMARS and what it would hit.

Ayyy I operated one of them for 8 years. It sounds inside like a giant pinball machine spring releasing when it fires.
These access-granted videos are epic. Your content is top notch!
I always like to think that shooting big booms, in person, is cooler than I think it'd be
