  • I was invited by the US Army to spend a day shooting one of the most powerful rocket launchers ever created. Capable of firing a flurry of rockets at distances up to 70 km, this thing is capable of decimating the battlefield. If you've ever wondered what capabilities our Soldiers have when in comes to artillery and firepower, then you better strap in for this one.

    Firing is not that dramatic inside but definitely spectacular from outside. I've spent years living inside of M270A1 (double barrel version) The M270A1's gunner's panel is located in the middle so I could do all the gunner things from the driver's seat. So we ran 2 men crew not 3 men (we were undermanned during the operation but the crews were experienced enough to run all positions)

      ​@@farzana6676 It was Trump that signed the treaty with the Taliban to cut and run, and it was Trump who reduced the troops from 15,000 to less than 2500 when he left office over the objections and advice of his own military. Trump, as part of the deal, released 5000 Taliban soldiers from prison. By the time Biden was in office, the Taliban had a amassed 70,000 in the country and had overtaken most roads and installed checkpoints. They literally had most of the major cities encircled. The extended deadline to leave was fast approaching, and if the US wasn't going to leave, Biden would have had to surge 10s of thousands of troops into the country to deal with a Taliban assault. He did the only sensible thing, abide by the treaty agreement Trump signed and complete the pullout Trump had already begun.
      Now, most of this will fall flat, because Trump supporters apparently live in a bubble and don't actually look at what Trump actually did in office, unless Fox news is bragging about it.
      From the "Joint Declaration between the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the United States of America
      for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan" available on state.gov.
      "Consistent with the joint assessment and determination between the United States and the Islamic
      Republic of Afghanistan, the United States, its allies, and the Coalition will complete the
      withdrawal of their remaining forces from Afghanistan within 14 months following the
      announcement of this joint declaration and the U.S.-Taliban agreement, and will withdraw all
      their forces from remaining bases, subject to the Taliban’s fulfillment of its commitments under
      the U.S.-Taliban agreement."
      When Trump signed this deal, many policy analysts said it was a sweet giveaway to the Taliban because it contained no "trust but verify" and no enforcement mechanisms to make sure they kept up their side of the deal, and hence they violated it almost immediately.
      It was rushed, because Trump wanted to take credit for ending the Afghan war before he left office, and the clusterfsck that followed is not just Biden's fault, but BOTH of their faults.

    Australia is buying quite a few of the Himars systems and the improved PrSM.
    The PrSM will have a warhead that can target moving naval ships and moving land targets.
    I also hear they were thinking about a ramjet powered PrSM with a range of about 1000km.
    I must admit the seats and interior of the truck could be updated and cleaned up a bit.
    But overall an excellent concept that works extremely well.

      After the success against Russia, pretty much every country wants the HIMARS right now. Before Russia's invasion folks didn't really think about the HIMARS too much; after all, it is just a lighter, more mobile variant of the MLRS that has only a single pod of rockets instead of two. But then Russia was kind enough to demonstrate to the world how effective a light rocket artillery truck can be on a modern battlefield where mobility is key.

      @@azurblueknights HIMARS is a good overall design and very easy to transport.
      The future growth potential of the system is impressive as l have pointed out elsewhere. The new versions of the PrSM are being tested and should be put into service in the coming decade.
      A smart move by the Australian government, being on a massive island the system makes perfect sense for our unique requirements.
