I read some interesting threads about the M270 recently ([here](https://nitter.net/i/status/1531067601006301184) and [here](https://nitter.net/noclador/status/1531012132975910912)), which may be of interest (particularly the comparison between the MLRS and Russian equivalents – the BBC article only really covers the range and ROF, instead of the astronomical differences in reload/set-up times and precision). Largely based off the US models, though I believe there’s not much difference between the M270A1 and the ones we use.
I think the idea that these systems should only be used on targets within Ukraine’s borders is ridiculous. The Russian’s artillery can attack Ukraine from within Russia, why shouldn’t the Ukrainians strike back against them?

Three? We have over 40 of them gathering dust
