HIMARS will now be the best artillery on the battlefield, better than anything MUSCOVY has. Once a path has been cleared, these HIMARS bang sticks should do very nicely to help get Crimea back.
Why are they valuable?
Himars will give Ukraine’s forces the ability to strike further behind Russian lines, and at distances better protected from Russia’s own long-range weaponry.
The GPS-guided missiles the Himars shoots have a range about double that of the M777 howitzers that the US recently supplied to Ukraine forces.
At roughly 80km it generally puts Himars out of range of Russia’s own artillery, while placing the Russian batteries at risk.
