It is not long before the last time the United States may assist the Strongest Modern Weapons of the Ukrainian Army, but it is not long ago, and recently there is news that the US Department of Defense announced that it will provide long-range strike weapons to the Ukrainian side, including four sets of Haimas rocket artillery systems. This decision was authorized by the President of the United States, and with this assistance, the total number of Haimas rocket systems assisted by the United States to Ukraine will reach 16.
It is said that a batch of multiple rocket artillery ammunition was also provided this time. So how powerful are the Hippocse rockets? How to face such a powerful weapon of U.S. aid? The Haimas rocket artillery, officially designated M142, is a high-precision weapon with strong strike ability, high mobility, fierce firepower, and excellent comprehensive performance.
It is 3.2 meters high, seven meters long, 2.4 meters wide, the total weight of the warhead is 10.8 tons, the maximum travel is 480 kilometers, and the maximum speed is 480 kilometers per hour. The 16 km is one of the strongest rocket launchers in active service in the US military and has become the core weapon of the US military. Second, deployment is fast. The original intention of Haimas was to make up for the shortcomings of the 0270 track rocket launcher being too heavy and not suitable for rapid strategic deployment. The maximum weight of the M270 rocket gun is close to 25 tons, while the total weight of the Haimas plus a six-pack rocket launcher and truck chassis is only 10.8 tons.
The operating system of the Haimas rocket is very complex, training a skilled soldier may take three months, and even if this weapon is given to Ukraine, the Ukrainian army will not necessarily operate. Although the Hippocampus rocket has many shortcomings, its power cannot be underestimated. According to relevant reports, the United States is providing the Ukrainian army with well-trained soldiers to facilitate the launch of Haimas into the battlefield as soon as possible.
Of course, Xiaobian still hopes that this war will end as soon as possible, restore peace as soon as possible, let the civilians in the war zone get rid of the bitter sea brought about by the war at an early date, and give them a quiet living environment. What do you think about that?
