Geez before you get triggered to do some defensive post think first
But m142/m270 contains both, MLRS and ballistic missile
That's what I'm referring to
Why don't the army go for 500km ATACMS with 2 rockets per vehicle
And let m270 and m142 carry 12 - 220mm rockets?
Because as you said, they integrated capacity to one vehicle
But I argue its not good to unite the missions of these vehicles

This is what I mean, m270 is a little better with expanded capacity , 12 rockets and 2 missiles
But M142 sucks , it has better mobility , but in trying to get 2 things done, it sacrificed carrying capacity of ATACMS and MLRS
but both Iskander and Bm27 have wheeled chassis
While M270 is tracked
It's different philosophy, but I argue that having pods might be good for reload time, either way you want to get out once you fire salvo
And as for combining systems to one , I think it's unnecessary

No problem if you only shoot at wedding parties and funerals. You can change the packages the whole day because no one can shoot back.
If you want high sustained firepower you go for different systems for different purpoeses. Which doesn´t mean that you can´t use the same basic truck
for the different systems to lower procurement and maintenance costs. Russia went this path, that´s why it has 3 different rocket launchers + Iskander
+ TOS + ISDM (minelayer).

And I argue even if reload take 20 minutes on bm27 versus 5 min in M142
Bm 27 got 32 missiles out
In the same time m142 with 5 min reload time got 24 missiles in 4 salvos
While Bm27 did it in 2
So Pods have their place, but it's to simplistic to say one thing is better than the other
Efficiency is important, but there are many factors which are important such as mobility, coverage of area , reload time, durability of chassis, suspension, powerplant
All those things factor in

Himmers doesn't need 12 per salvo it can concentrate all its missiles onto a single point and have a 100 percent hit rate.
Six is enough, If they want to mount a bigger pod they probably could but the entire point of himmers is to be a highly mobile and accurate system, that can be transported via aircraft.
US also has a different doctrine then Russia with Ballistic missiles.
Additionally Himars isn't replacing M270, Himars is just meant to be an enabler working along side the M270
"We fired now scot away before they can react"
You cannot reliably do that with track vehicles.
Not to mention thanks to the pods Himars has a high rate of fire it can fire more missiles in a sustained fight then regular MLRs, so the opening salvo must have less rockets but it will get more out over alll

The first thing any rocketeer would do after a fire mission is to head on to the hide site as fast as they can drive. Once there you can take as much time as you like reloading. Having a faster reload is irrelevant.limb wrote:
Thats like saying detachable mags are inferior to internal rifle magazines, which is retarded. Loading rockets individually on an MLRS is like loading rifle rounds one by on into a rifle, rather than putting a detachable mag in. Modular rocket pods for MLRS aren't replacements for reload vehicles. They're there to make reloading faster.
Don't get me wrong, palletization does have some points going for it. But at the end of the day its just added convenience. Like stripper clips for loading magazines - nobody's going to go around boasting its some game changing capability now do they?
They didn't. They only ever introduced modernized Grad and Smerch systems. Never seen the pods in use on any chassis either.limb wrote:
The russians already have the Uragan-1M, so they're trying to procure MLRS with modular pods, you're just coping.
To get the full capability of the modular pod system you have to standardize on the largest possible caliber. And the larger the caliber the more expensive the launcher gets - costs can only sky rocket despite extended commonality.SeigSoloyvov wrote:
Merely proves you don't understand anything about logistics or operational cost.
The ability to change pods thus able to change armaments and only require one vehicles to use them greatly reduces all the spare parts and such you need when operating various vehicles and makes production a whole gell of a lot easier.
Clueless fanboys alright, but that's you

none of Russian MLRS is tracked, if you talk about m270 they could have made a truck version with 12 rockets of M142

Uragan goes against SHORADS with effectiveness, one cannot say the same about HIMARS, AD is a factor here, if rockets are intercepted by pantsir or TOR battery then you will be wishing for more rockets per salvo as Ukrainians are
In all I would say M142 would be a better system if US could supply 100 or 150 to Ukraine
Then maybe you could talk about saturating AD , and forcing Russia to change tactic
It would be preferable to carry 12 to have hope of overwhelming AD
But 30 is not enough, each vehicle will face a battery , an attack could get through such is the nature of the war, But on economical scale it's not efficient to supply 30 and for Ukrs to run out of ammo by week 2 or 3
Then we get to another convo, that the weapons aren't to win, but to get Ukrs to fight to the last man
And seig, if you were in the army then you very well know your men didn't rely on HIMARS, but CAS
Even though it's present , I doubt the army trains much for it

Poor S-300's seems 2-3 launchers and apparently 1 command vehicle destroyed. This is from Kherson region.
But well given Russians typically deploy like 8 launchers and engagement radars which are nowhere to be seen. I assume they managed to escape.

It sucks that Russia can't hit US rexon assets, but such is the nature of this war. Only way to counter this is too move these assets more and cover them with SHORAD systemsStealthflanker wrote:Poor S-300's seems 2-3 launchers and apparently 1 command vehicle destroyed. This is from Kherson region.

There should be Pantsirs or something around the 300s Unless someone was incompetent and didn't do their deployment properly

The air defenses can handle maybe tens of incoming rockets but certainly not all. Like say 8 launchers of S-300 only have 32 missiles assuming 48N6 is used. a 30N6 can engage 6 targets simultaneously while 92N6 can as far as i remember 10 targets or maybe 40 targets. But Ukraine can mix the Himars salvo with dummy BM-27 or their own Smerch to saturate and confuse the AD systems.
Rockets are rather simple shaped object and may not necessarily can be differentiated even from things like NCTR as it lacks JEM/propeller modulation.
The question is of course how many they managed to get before finally some got through and smashed those launchers and a command mobile post.

Yes I agree this is not a good combo, they can only launch one ATACMS at a time. I will say though, that the HIMARs is much lighter and especially compared to Smerch. But..less capable and fewer rounds. Also Iskander is quite a bit more capable then ATACMS, way longer range, manuvering and much larger payload. It plays a different role and is not purely tactical but also a theatre strategic missile for Kaliningrad.

Nothing surprising. AD on the front are a juicy target gor MLRS. Russia also destroyed a S-300 with bm-27/30 few months ago.
You can't intercept all the rockets.
But that crew is dumb. The vehicles should be 500m from each other and covered with cammo when close to the front where you know enemy has long range rocket systems.

There should be one or two. Looking at deployment in Belgorod.
Thing is you cant shoot everything down, and rockets are just cheap.

What’s the difference in real life? 5 or 20 minutes. You shoot, then quickly drive the hell away and meet reloading vehicle. No one will reload in the field. After meeting reload vehicle It’s not that time sensitive from there, there might not be any targets to cover, planing place where to launch and etc.

New video from Razvedos that touches VDV and its present and the future. This might be interesting for Arkanghelsk
He references to this conflict and BMD/Sprut and VDV challenges they encountered in Ukraine.

The Allied forces have begun the battle for Bakhmutskoye, just southeast of Soledar, just as PMC Wagner advances within 2 km of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), and an unconfirmed report suggests a very large number of Ukrainian POWs were taken just outside of Seversk.

We have doubts about the claimed Ukrainian success of destroyed S-300 SAM launchers in the #Kherson OblastAs can be seen in the video
, the systems are in the open field, as if on a platter. We assume that the #Ukrainians fell for presented museum pieces; see the 3 pictures

People think it's like in game you push buttons and kill everything and if you get killed you respawn 200m away and do it again.
Rockets are not illimited in numbers. And finding targets takes time just like damage assesement.
Reloading can take 1 hour that won't change anything.
