If you cant reuse them they would work as very good decoys. Just put them in the open and watch russia use all their best rockets just to destroy them.
That’s 55 to 150 million dollars.
What about a refill?
That’s a lot of empties.
That looks very promising. A lot of RuZZians inside their shithole of a terrorist state have found out the game has changed. It is no longer a protected sanctuary. I look forward to seeing some of the results.
Good to see… you need many more!
I’m soo proud to be a tax payer, and finally see some fucking results!!
You can send the empties back for a 20% off coupon from Raytheon
Wow. $150k+ a pop, that’s a lot of boom.
It’s time to get some battle field testing of the PrSM
Does someone have video with aftermath of HIMARS on Russian territory?
These rockets look smaller than I’d imagined them to be. Anyone have one next to a banana for scale?
9 stacks of 6 = 54 packs? Magazines? I don’t know the correct nomenclature. Someone help me out.
6 tubes per mag = ***324*** missiles launched in roughly the past month (aid was approved April 24. No idea how long it takes for them to reach Ukraine), or about 10+ per day, and I’m assuming that’s just from a single battery. Ukraine has about 36 launchers from USA (39 originally, but iirc one was destroyed and two were damaged and sent back for repairs), with more on the way from USA and Germany (possibly others that I don’t know about.)
Based on a cursory Google search, the average cost of one rocket is $240,000 USD (for perspective: half the value of the average house in the US), multiplied by 324 is $77,760,000. Based on our understanding of the efficacy and accuracy of these missiles and that they’re only used on targets of higher value, we can safely assume Russia is feeling the pain. I’d be willing to bet they get at least a 1000% return on investment per missile – probably over $1bn total from this battery in the past 30 days.
Once again, that’s ~$2.4mil launched per day *from one battery* (presumably)
I wonder how long they can keep this up?
would it be possible or even “legal” for ukraine to reverse engineer the launch tubes with the rockets or only the rockets ? even if it only was just a bit so that america doesnt have to carry the production burden all on itself. sorry if that sounds stupid just curious 😀
Can’t wait for the damage assessment and/or the surveillance drone footage!

Do these things need to be recharged or are they disposable?
Damn its insane the power of these weapons aka freedom does ukraine still use m270s because they don’t get the same love as himars
The US makes 10.000 a year I believe
Never been so happy to see my tax dollars at work.
Time to send more!
Time for this video again, I think

Another good 2022 HIMARS video worth reviving

That’s 324 rockets used.
