I love how quickly everything operates. Can't wait to see their results in Ukraine.

[swizeus]

That is very fast deploy, from running to launching

Best argument for dialog with russians

I think the Ukrainian army needs a lot of these weapons to counter the Russian offensive...

[davidrogers]

Here's a prime example of our motto 'Shoot, Scoot, & Communicate'. It's the MLRS way!

[apuuvah]

With the guided rocket and all the missiles for it... Master of Desaster.

I also wondered what those prongs on the front of the launcher were! Now it makes so much sense. A built in crane for reloading seems like a no-brainer in hindsight.

Ngl it's kind of satisfying seeing it firing it so cleanly and smoothly

[radekgrec]

The sounds of all those servomotors is like a music to me:)

[Cherb]

Never knew they had a crane build in them, pretty cool!

I was part of Charlie battery 3/16th Field Artillery MLRS, 8th Inf. (MECH) and we were the second battery ever formed and the first one deployed to Europe in 1983-84. They call the system the Grid Square Killer, or Steel Rain because one 12 rocket Salvo will destroy everything within a 1000 meter by 1000 meter grid Square, and by the time the rocket is 13 ft out of the tube, it is at Mach 3.

You can achieve anything you put your mind to, you just have to take the first step.

почему на ракетах не наклеены портреты путена?

[aspitofmud]

I think these missile launchers will be one of the most valued armaments in the next war.
Yep.

[sprintermaster]

Miss these machines. Greetings from the Netherlands

[davidrogers]

Can't count how many times that I saw this occur through out the world. Very fasinating!

[azravalencia]

I remember this thing in AirAttack3d, this one vehicle is pain in the ass since its homing missile loaded.
