Previously, The Minister of Defense of Ukraine announced a major event. The Haimas rocket launcher with a range of 300 kilometers and a range of 10,000 square meters has arrived, and the first batch of four Haimas rocket launchers has passed The special plane arrived at the Ukrainian airport. Ukrainian officials publicly thanked the United States for military aid and stated that they would severely attack Russia. According to the Pentagon plan, a batch of 4 more Haimas rocket launchers may be provided to Ukraine. This rocket launcher is powerful. How big is it? The American Seamaster rocket launcher can be called a game-changer in land warfare.

M142 Haimas rocket launcher is an active weapon of the US military and one of the most sophisticated weapons in the NATO arsenal. It is the product of a combination of "precision maneuver" and "precision firepower" as a "flexible response" "An emergency weapon in the strategy to deal with large-scale and high-intensity mechanized warfare, the M270 rocket launcher was the predecessor of the M142. It was a typical Cold War equipment. However, after the end of the Cold War, the M270 was too heavy and was not suitable for the US military's quick reaction operations in the new century. The vehicle weighs 25 tons, which is not conducive to mobile combat.

In order to carry out lightweight design and make the rocket launcher meet the needs of the US military for rapid response operations, the M142 Seamaster rocket launcher, which weighs only 16 tons, was specially developed based on the M270 rocket launcher, completing the so-called 10+30+30 of the US military. The idea is to deploy the U.S. military to any location around the world within 10 days, defeat any opponent within 30 days, and then use 30 days to rest and reorganize to prepare for defeating the next opponent. In order to comply with the 10+30+30 strategy , it is necessary to build a flexible army.
In fact, the M270 rocket launcher can only be delivered through C5 and C17 strategic transport aircraft . The air delivery platform has limitations. In addition, bridge reinforcement is required when passing through some simple bridges, so it was eventually simplified to Seamaster , a part of the M142 rocket launcher. The characteristic is that the firepower has been weakened. There were originally 12 rocket launchers, but now there are only 6 rocket launchers. However, in exchange for better maneuverability and a lighter body, the vehicle's road maneuvering speed can reach 85 kilometers. per hour.

According to statistics from US military experts, the power of a salvo fired by an artillery unit composed of 9 Haimas rocket launchers is equivalent to the power of a unit of 18 155mm howitzers firing 27 shells. This rocket launcher is 30 The target strike mission can be completed within seconds, and it only takes 2 minutes to switch from the launch state to the march state, and even if the most common rocket is used, the launch distance can reach 80 kilometers, which will be used by the Ukrainian artillery. The weapon with the furthest strike distance.
Currently, Russia and Ukraine mainly use artillery for long-distance battles. The farther the artillery is fired, the stronger the artillery's survivability. The more time it takes for the opponent to search for the artillery position as soon as possible. This will create more time for the artillery to escape. The Seamass rocket launcher can quickly escape from the battlefield after performing a precision strike mission, making it very difficult for the Russian army to attack this artillery. Even though the Ukrainian army currently only has 4 A Haimas rocket launcher can also pose a greater threat.
