US artillery rocket systems are proving vital in allowing Ukraine to strike deep behind Russia<\/a> lines with remarkable accuracy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) were first\u00a0provided to Ukraine in June 2022 to stem the tide of Vladimir Putin<\/a>‘s advances in the Donbas.<\/p>\n

Months later, Russia’s progress had not just screeched to a halt but had headed in reverse, thanks in no small part to the HIMARS.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rockets ride atop a heavily armoured and hermetically sealed vehicle, which boasts six wheels and six-wheel drive ensuring high mobility and the capacity to reach high speeds.<\/p>\n

HIMARS launches the impressive Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) artillery which have a vast range of 45 miles, much further than the standard 18 miles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Three times bigger are the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) rockets. These can be fired up to 186 miles and are used for targetting higher value sites, including enemy buildings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And the artillery rocket systems have been used to devastating effect throughout the Ukraine-Russia conflict, demonstrating their incredible accuracy in striking key targets, including massive artillery stockpiles.<\/p>\n

This forced Putin to move ammunition further away from the front line, meaning it could not be used to the same devastating effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania all ordered quantities of HIMARS to protect themselves from the Russian threat.<\/p>\n

In the latest episode of Daily Mail’s War On Tape YouTube series<\/a>, Chris Pleasance uncovers why the HIMARS rockets are so crucial by watching them being tested and chatting to those who operate them.<\/p>\n

Pleasance headed to a huge US firing range in\u00a0Grafenw\u00f6hr, Germany to witness a HIMARS live firing drill which demonstrated the range and speed of the artillery.<\/p>\n

He also chatted to Staff Sergeant Russell Jaso about how the rockets work and which sites they are used to target.<\/p>\n
