HIMARS: How it's changing Ukraine's fight against Russia
Since the United States provided Ukraine with 16 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (or HIMARS), the launchers are changing the face of battle, becoming a key weapon in Ukraine's counteroffensive against invading Russian forces. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin visits the Lockheed Martin plant where the highly-effective precision rocket launchers are built; and a test range where HIMARS crews are trained to "shoot and scoot."

THANK YOU, Arkansas !!!! Well done, Folks Slava Ukraini
I Live a short drive from that HI-MAR Factory. Makes me so proud that something made in a rural area of Arkansas by regular everyday country folk is making such a difference to our world.
You probably didn’t hear it when they said that it will take them two years to produce enough of these rockets to make some kind of an impact in the war. We had 20K of these rockets, Ukraine spent half of them. I just wonder, where do those billions go if half of our HIMARS rocket stock was spent within a month?
@YAT 97 it’s not true. The US never used HIMARS for the past 3 decades or used it very little. So there was no need to produce missiles for them. Only 21K in stock with a 3rd given to Ukranians initially. The guy in this video said that they will need 18-24 months(read 2 years+) to produce enough rockets to make a difference in this war. By that time Russians will drink tea in NY’s Central Park. And, no. I am not a Democrat. Democrats support this war. They support Biden and his crackhead son, Hunter, great energy advisor who sits on the board of Burisma in Ukraine. I will be voting Trump if he runs again.
@YAT 97 and here’s another problem with our weapons stockpiles. Artillery shells. Did you know that the US wouldn’t be able to produce enough artillery shells to fight a ground war with China? Or Russia for that matter.
If by making a difference you mean taking lives then yea, your right
@YAT 97 I have posted an article for you to read. It was written by US LT. Colonel Alex Vershinin for the Royal United Services Institute which is a top UK 🇬🇧 military think tank. So google his name and this organization then read the article. In it he details the numbers. Did you know that the Russians are spending 70K artillery shells and rockets per day in Ukraine? Sounds unbelievable, but it is true. We don’t have that capability. Then loonies like your friend Joe Biden wants to go to war with China whose industrial capabilities are far greater than Russia’s.
I'm proud of this America ! This makes America really Great again, as a leader and defender for Freedom , for all of us. Greeting from Germany

Weapons don’t win wars. Soldiers do.
Btw this makes Military industrial complex happy and taxpayers poor.

@@realnapster1522 as a taxpayer and employee at the factory where HIMARS is produced, it makes me happy.

No one is "helping" you silly child. Everything is bought and will be paid for. Your citizens will starve for the next 50 years trying to pay back for all the "help" you're getting

As a person who heard the sound of a Russian turbojet engine from a plane that bombed my city, I express my gratitude to all the people who are helping Ukraine in this senseless war. The enemy is superior to us in all types of weapons, but we withstood the first blow and fought back with what we had. Now everything depends on the number of guns and shells capable of suppressing Russian artillery and stopping its advance.
In case you missed it - Russians got a weapon system better then HIMARS. It's called Tornado S, it is just as accurate, but it have longer range (about 80 miles), launch vehicle carries 12 missiles and Russians got hundreds of them. So get off your high horse and stop supporting fascism - personally I'm more concerned about my next gas bill.

You mean in the fake news??
As a former US Army Artillery Forward Observer, 13F40, I can tell you we do NOT consider HIMARS or MLRS 'largely unnoticed' Getting priority to request fires from _that_ asset is like asking to shoot Dad's .22 and being handed an elephant gun
To be fair, you didn't see MLRS or general artillery in the news. You always hear about the F-22, carrier or laser tech. People still forget the most dangerous weapon in the military, nuclear subs.
Grid killers….
Ukranians don't have the vast resources or options that the US army does, they only have what you gave them. I'm sure if you send them weapons they will use them with great purpose and effect
One big problem the Russo-fascists have created for themselves is that thye've shown prospective buyers that Russian hardware is forty years behind Western and useless against Western equipment. Considering that Russia is the world's second biggest arms seller, that's a heckuva hit to his economy.
@@RManFlint That's incredibly important. We see-saw back and forth with Russia over who exports more arms, with France in the #3 slot. But where Arms exports is like our 52nd largest industry, it's Russia's 3rd.
I use to be an MLRS and HIMARS crewmember in the Army. They are very good at spreading hate and discontent to the enemy. STEEL RAIN!
I imagine one of the earlier concerns of the U.S. and other Western countries was that weapons given to Ukraine would be mishandled, squandered, lost or destroyed. I'd say the Ukrainians laid those concerns completely to rest a LONG time ago! Their strategic and tactical use of their limited military resources thus far has been nothing short of brilliant!
not strange western countries had that initial outlook given the fiasco in afghanistan
@@axlfrhalo That's because Afghan govt corrupt beyond saving, half of them work with the Taliban. That the reason why US left without telling, last thing they want is getting attack while packing and leave. Afghan mirror another corrupts govt know as South Vietnam, US give everything, outnumber them 3 to 1 and high tech weaponry just to fall because the govt corruption. Ukraine are different, yes, there is corruption but not on higher level like military's and govt office. Majority of the country, its people, their military and the govt together wish one thing, to get the Russian out of the country.
@@lokisg3 yeah i get you but my point wasnt that they were on the same level, my point was that last time the US gave aid packages and military equipment it was squandered. Not to mention it happened very recently. Having that happen yet again would be a massive fiasco for the govt and a almost guaranteed loss in the upcoming elections.
I am not inclined to think that these concerns are put to rest. There are estimates that about 70% of weapons given to Ukraine by the West never makes it to the frontlines. In Ukraine's gray market, a Javelin, a Stinger or a Switchblade can be had for USD 4K, delivered anywhere in Europe. Imagine what kind of dream this is even for a starter terrorist in Europe.
Well, the Russians also captured dozens of Javelins and MLAWs as trophies, and those are going straight to Russian defense labs for reverse engineering. That's not a good thing. Maybe if there is a successor already on the way from US and British defense developers, but that still means they will have their own versions in a few years. And that's mucho not good-o.
The USA saved A LOT of Ukrainian civilian and soldier lives. Bravo! 👏👏👏🇪🇺🇺🇸

does it hit stationary targets, or can it track moving targets as well?
@@NaggersandJoggers I'm not entirely sure but it's main use is to hit important military targets out of range of most Russian weapons. It can lock onto a target from 40 or 50 miles away, there's just not a lot you can do against it after the rocket is sent.

It's easy as an American to feel like spending $40 billion on weapons for Ukraine is a waste. Still, you have to figure that we spend $800 billion annually on defense. Our primary rivals are Russia and China. If the Ukrainians are willing to suffer casualties and fight the Russians in a war of aggression, then we should support them. The more tanks, APC's, trucks, helicopters, fighter jets, experienced soldiers, etc. that the Ukrainians destroy, the less we have to worry about. America was on the winning side of two world wars because of our industrial capacity. We suffered comparatively few casualties compared to other countries in both of those wars. Russia is burning through all of its men and equipment in a futile war over farmland. Russia is making a strategic blunder. Russia's armed forces will be weakened for decades to come, and its political leadership will be weakened by domestic unrest as the true cost of the war becomes known.
Joseph Lucas why spend 800 billions yearly, haven't the Ukraine people proved if war is to come they step up to fight, what is important is have people who love their country not how much you spend, I for certain won't fight for my country so bad my country has treated me
America is not the only nation spending billions on weapons to Ukraine. NATO countries in Europe are spending just as much. If Russia is not destroyed the consequences for both the US and Europe will be dire. BTW some Europeans feel aggrieved that Russia wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if your former guy hadn't revealed the fragility of US democracy. Democracies are Putin's bête noire
Ukraine is fighting this war not just for Europe, but for the USA and any freedom-loving country. We will always be indebted to them. Slava Ukraini!
completely absurd comment. The Russia-China alliance is expanding westwards to the Dniepr. Chinese and Iranian engineers are benefiting from this war through reverse technology. North Korea has resumed its missiles and nuke program big time . USA and Europe are completly isolated as 80% of the World still wants to trade with Russia. As a result the ruble is skyrocketing. It's just like Obama used to say : "Never underestimate Biden's ability to fu...things up".
the $ 40 bilion is a corruption scheme. Raytheon and Boeing shareholders fill their pockets and use part of the money to fund the campaign of the corrupt politician who voted for the bill.

Trust me when I say that this is probably the only good thing to ever come out of Arkansas.
Hey guys! I use to work for this landscaping company that did construction and the landscaping at LM. It is literally thousands of acres. They have these bunkers everywhere that are covered by the ground and they build missiles every single day and store them in these bunkers. The plant is in a small town in Arkansas called East Camden. I remember seeing them make so many bombs and storing them wondering " do they really build bombs and just store them"? Trust me, we have plenty of munitions.
If you can shoot and scoot in one minute not even artillery rounds can reach your position in that time. Never mind the detection and location required before your counter fire departs.
Shoot and scoot Yes but it's resonable to say that they can get spooted on the move before and after they deploy and fire via drones satellite etc
@@ADZ01982 yes but targets take time to be aquired and fire direction to occur. Then there's the simple physics of time of flight of projectiles whether artillery or missile. If you can shoot and scoot in a minute you cannot return fire within this timeline. You'd need to be using drones themselves real time dropping grenades to get ahead of this
@@burtvhulberthyhbn7583 To be fair, Ukraine has done what is described many times. They follow the Russian vehicle back to its hiding spot using a UAV, then arty it when it gets there.

The 10,000 rockets per year is the bottleneck preventing expanded usage of HIMARS by the Ukrainians. The 16 launchers that Ukraine has already received are capable of burning thru over 10,000 rockets a year. Additional launchers would provide additional tactical flexibility, but lots of launchers without rockets to fire don't add much value.
Yuppp not to mention the Pentagon WILL NOT turn over a hundred percent of the rockets to the Ukrainians for strategic reasons, I am guessing that even giving them 50% of the available rockets or the ones being produced would be considered too much.
10000 does not look much but you do not need much to destroy russian military warehouses on back front. For everything else there is artillery
@@MikePrice888 HIMARS is artillery. And 10k artillery ammo is very little actually. If it considered much that means you dont have enough systems.

The doubling of production is also necessary to adhere to the increased demand. Poland and a lot of other countries are waiting to buy the M-142 just like the Apache got a lot more demand after the gulf war. The US isn't the only one delivering these weapons, the UK has been delivering the M-270 and the German government delivered the MARS their version of the M-270.
Stop giving US money to Ukraine. It's a money laundering scam
@Adriaan Bouwer you do know that they produce their own weapons and ammunition. That is the whole reason behind buying the K-2 and K-9. And unlike the Ukraine they are NATO and the Russian armed forces will be gone by mid-day.
@Adriaan Bouwer - Dude, Poland is a maker of weapons and has a license to make what they need domestically. They're also part of NATO, meaning they have the US Army in town as well as the US Air Force overhead. Poland is also getting US M1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks. The USA also has the best MLRS in the world. The M270 MLRS and the M142 HIMARS. They'll likely buy the licenses they need to domestically make things they need. Plus, for the US Forces-Poland, that means a shorter supply train as well. Right now, Poland is actually removing its former Soviet Stocks and retiring their own Domestic Versions they've built, like the PT-91 Twady now shooting up Russian T-62s in Southern Ukraine.
Pentagon is smart to use ukriane as a testing ground.
@Adriaan Bouwer please come on over when you are off drugs and alcohol you might actually make sense than. The Russian Federation isn't a trained army the Ukrainian army is. Russia is trying to get enough troops through basic training to make up the losses but most get an Kalashnikov and are sent to the front without any training. We are currently training about 80.000 Ukrainian army troops and their air force is getting conversion training in the US to switch to F-16s. We are sending them in with modern equipment and supplies. Russia has to take whatever the Belarusian president is willing to part with and is begging Iran and China for supplies. In short they have no trained troops and no modern equipment or supplies in the Russian armed forces.

I'm not Ukrainian, I'm Swedish, but nevertheless I would like the *United States* for its contributions to the conflict. You are saving lives, and defending freedom! Every Russian Orc that gets annihilated is one fewer rapist, murderer, and oppresser for the world to worry about.
The US is "helping" after creating the conflict ...seen that movie before
@@nilslarson7532 How did US create this conflict?
The world now knows the value of HIMARS, unlike the paper spec's of other weapon systems that are untested.
Name a war won with Himars. I’ll wait.
@@alab3657 lol misunderstood 😂
@@alab3657 No one who matters cares about your weak trolling. SLAVA UKRAINE!
true that.
😳🤣 you know nothing about combined armed forces. 8 of the 14 we sent them have been blown up already. STOP WATCHING MSM AND BELIEVING IT. THIS WAS ALL A PROPAGANDA PUFF PEICE.
As an American, I gladly support my tax dollars being put to good use in this instance. It's always HIMARS o'clock!
Same!
so naive
yyyyeeeeeeehaaaawwweewww coyboy!!
They lied to you dear😭🙏kzhead.info/sun/pqWoY5ufonmCY30/bejne.html
Me too! Send them more asap!
Blessings to Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏
HIMARS IS MAKING UKRAINIANS TAKE MORE AND MORE POSITIONS..........IN THE MORGUES!!!!
So inspiring to see the tenacity and fortitude that the Ukrainian military has against it's invading neighbor. Keep it up Ukraine! The free world has your back! BEAT RUSSIA!
Oh 😂kzhead.info/sun/pqWoY5ufonmCY30/bejne.html
Наполеон не победил, гитлер не победил, а Украина победит да? 🤦🏻 вы что там курите?
Thanks for your words and support. We will win together. Democracy, independence and freedom always defeats dictators, invaders and propaganda. With all respect and gratitude from Ukraine.

russia and more important US
When Stage 1 isn’t doing the job, time forStage 2! Bring out the HIMSRS! I’m glad to have my taxes go to help Ukraine 💙💛
We should also send the ATAC missiles!
They brainwashed u dear🙏😭kzhead.info/sun/pqWoY5ufonmCY30/bejne.html
Keep living in the propaganda
Sincere thank you from Ukraine. I'm having a great opportunity to watch how HIMARS actually changed the game. One shot, one hit of russian ammo warehouse. That means that less civilians will get hurt or die every next day. Huge thanks for your support and assistance, in our fight for democracy, freedom and independence. God bless America!
But ukranians are losing territory everyweek bahahahahaha
Numbers are wrong, the US deliverd 16 Himars to Ukraine but the west UK and Germany also deliverd 12 MLRS systems slower in speed but with the same capability to fire the same ammunition. Not only Himars but Himars as the most important system allong with MLRS, M777, PzH200, CAESAR, AHS Krab, Archer and a lot of longrange guided rounds for all these systems!
you can have 16 but the question is the ammunition... Don't take long to deliver the fire, take more to take the fire to the launcher
@@antoineautran7728 Not 16 but 28 systems in total; 16 Himars systems with 6x GLMRS and 12 MLRS systems with 12x GLMRS. Logistics in a war is a big challenge...
Interviewer: “Can you double production?” Lockheed Martin guy: “Absolutely!”
Start ordering M270A1s!
Imagine 3 or 4 times as many...and how rapidly it could end the invasion...and that in turn save how many Lives. Send the ATACMs. Yesterday.
Dreamer...
I was gonna say...we could send them MLRS, but in the end they use then same ammo as HIMARS, and that's where the hang up is, so...
Not enough rockets at the rate Ukraine is using them now with 16 and 12 m270.
My prayers for Ukrainian Victory continue because I truly believe russia will not stop it's aggression against smaller Countries it sees as vulnerable until it gets knocked down Hard!! Bless our American Workers who pour their efforts into making these HIMARS.
Where did you se unazikraine victory?
Z
3 or 4 times that many! That is my dream for Ukraine. Send 100 more HIMARS to Ukraine, please help them to defend their homeland. God bless Ukraine and her brave people. Full of love and support from Vietnam
18 new systems today. That puts the number at 34. That’s a seriously high number.
I AM A AMERICAN BUT THE UK HAS DONE SO MUCH IN THIS WAR AT LEAST 30% FOR A SMALLER NATION WE GOTTA BIG UP THE BRITS!
SAINT HIMAR!!!!
more videos like this on Ukraine, please and thank you
Crazy that just *16* US rocket systems completely stagnated the Russians with their thousands of tanks and other hardware
No, they have not. In fact they had no effect so far. Russian air defence shoots down these missiles with relative ease. Look up a very interesting report by New Atlas channel - US HIMARS vs. Russia’s Tornado-S Apparently Russians also got a similar weapon system better then Himars.
That’s why Russia is losing the war to little Ukraine 🇺🇦😂👍 US himmars are destroying the course of the war. USA USA USA 🇺🇸
Ability to withstand war for 200+ days is the sole reason and their ability to push back invaders with precision will be remembered forever.
Imagine if they had 30 himars strategically located an firing all at once on specific targets 🤣 may the Ukrainians be blessed with everything needed to fight this Russian aggression 🇺🇦🇺🇸
LOL......The Russians are going to win......taxpayers are going to lose.....
Oh yeah😭😨kzhead.info/sun/pqWoY5ufonmCY30/bejne.html
🤡💩
Ukraine just needed a change in the leadership, someone new who would cease murdering residents of Donbas. Instead of doing the right thing, here we are blaming Russia for the mess we had created
The US could never supply enough missiles for that many vehicles - even 16 could exhaust all US missiles in under 10 months by firing full loads just three times a day. So without missiles that is a worthless vehicle. Ukraine must wisely conserve those missiles because once the US expends what it considers a limiting amount of its reserves, there will be no more until more are produced.
SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦 ♥️ VICTORY & ✌️
HIMARS is capable of firing a wide variety of munitions by rocket and missile, far further than the claimed 57 miles.
Shhhh....
Weapons don’t win wars. Soldiers do.
@@Andrew_M_Ward russians already know. Atacm has 200 mile plusmrange….common knowledge since first persian gulf war.
rah
Well, U.S. isn't going to arm Ukraine with the U.S.'s best weaponry. HIMARS have much longer range with different rockets, having different rockets for different targets.
People hate on the military and military equipment and the associated spending, but when needed everyone is all heartfelt thanks. I would argue the vast majority of sane people in the world would rather have peace than war, but if and when war happens it's always better to be on the side with the better weapons than on the side receiving the other end.
Ukraine is the country fighting the hardest for Democracy . The USA must support them in this fight.
All the elections are rigged no such thing as real democracy
Maybe it is time to learn some history.
We shouldn't be imagining, Ukraine should have 50 Himars by now.
500
Well, considering the US barely has 400 in its entire arsenal that’s kinda hard to do. They currently are fielding orders over 1000 systems to nations wanting them. Overseas sales of advanced weapons have to be approved by Congress. You also have to ensure the technology is secure and is not used inappropriately (like firing on civilian targets). It’s not an easy thing to just give and sale things like this.
"Absolutely" 👍✌
It’s very powerful Wappen, it’s look like real game changer.
go ukraine! thanks usa. pse send them more. and longer ranging systems. greetings from south africa
