Through its unparalleled mix of mobility, accuracy, and firepower, the HIMARS has radically transformed modern artillery warfare. With six rockets or one tactical missile carried by this truck-mounted weapon, it provides extraordinary strategic freedom. Its smaller scale than tracked systems lets fast air transportation possible, therefore facilitating swift theatre deployment. Although the system may fire and move within minutes, its powerful fire control computer and navigation systems guarantee pinpoint precision, thus it is quite tough to defeat. Especially in precision strikes on high-value targets at distances above 80 km, recent combat operations have shown HIMARS's game-changing power.
