Nice, hope they can retake Crimea.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 10 points 2 years ago

Nice to see that the M270 / Mars II are getting some action too.

What's the warhead on those? Is it a cluster bomb, or the other variant which looks like a bunker buster?

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

previous weapon packages included cluster warhead variant, with short range and 900 bomblets or long range and 350 bomblets, if there are unitary warehad variants then it's a new development

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

But in terms of launches, himars can fit 1 atacms per time and mars or equivalent can fit 2. There where at least 2 launches per vehicle.

And the unitary warhead was not officially announced for Ukraine.

So I counted 8 missiles. Does that mean there is a field in Ukraine with 8 himars? Or is the use of the word ATACMS loosely used?

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They also have the tracked version from Germany and France (a varians of the m270). Mars has a double launch unit compared to himars.

Have they been firing missiles into crimea already?

[–] nevetsg@aussie.zone 9 points 2 years ago

They have been doing it for months. Taking out anti aircraft defences.
