MLRS Himars. Miracle-armed of the American army

The name of the M142 HIMARS rocket system deciphens as the “High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) This attitude has already been dubbed by the miracle-armed of the US Army and attribute to it truly prohibitive combat capabilities. Himarsov is now afraid of even more than Russian MLRS, although more recently, the Fire of Grad, Tornado, Tornado and Hurricanes were primarily afraid of the battlefield. Contrary to the widespread opinion of Himars, the complex is far from new - its production began back in 2003. In total, the Americans have about 400 such installations. The fighting of recent times showed that Himars with 227-mm controlled reactive shells GMLRS can apply sudden high-precision shots, which are almost impossible (Lockheed Martin is responsible for the missile equipment) High mobility and external resemblance to the usual army truck allow the complex after an attack by impunity to get away from the response before its position is discovered. At the same time, the most long -range type of tactical missiles ATACMS gives Himarsam the ability to pointily hit targets at a distance of up to 300 km, and soon a missile with a range of 500 km will appear in service.

The new book of a well -known historian of military equipment for the first time in Russia in all details talks about the creation, design, modifications, uncontrollable and controlled ammunition, analogues and the combat use of the Haimars resident. The publication is illustrated by a large number of photographs of both the installation itself and its weapons
