We might have to send a couple of these to Ukraine for field testing

A 300+ mile range will be a benefit in the Pacific Theater.

When 1990’s technology can destroy Russian 2024 “Air defence” 🤔

Nice closing argument. PRSM might accelerate provisioning Ukraine with ATACMS.

US already had 1800 Expired ATACMS and several thousand still active.

"But ATACMS was already perfect!" "I know. But we can always make it MORE perfect!"

This is a great addition for the ARMY.

Ukraine wont acquire PrSM because the US won't make it available to them. This missile is in early stage of production and is required by US units.

Hooray to the red white and blue

I say combat testing in Ukraine..

Advising the United States Army to not abandon those ATACMS missiles because in war, the range those ATACMS provide have proven it worth and value

PrSM is going to win for sure! 🤘

The Taiwan Strait just got a little more safe from a Chinese invasion.

Right now ATACMS have been shifted to several areas around the South China Sea near Chinese illegal militarized artificial islands. These would be used to bring those bases under fire and neutralize them. This takes much pressure off the limited naval supply on US Task Forces if a war was to break out. Yes, as PrSM comes on line those will be immediately sent to the western Pacific where with the ranges stated would make them a very powerful support and deterrent because PrSM would be able to hit China from points in the southern Japanese island chain, Taiwan, and all around the island countries in the South China Sea. Then I can see all the extra ATACMS being moved to Eastern NATO countries and UKRAINE!

Artillery: still the King of Battle.

PRSM looks amazing - I wonder why the boost part is not jettisoned in flight - extra weight and drag. Now UKR can get "ochen mnoga" (very many) ATACMS. Yay, Hope they keep the factories running - we need to build up a greater inventory and have warm factories given the geopolitical situation

Thanks, Military TV.

Great report!!!

What is the production volume timeline?

I am so glad the US and others are starting to use RAM jet power for missiles to increase range.

How about sending some of the former stock & send to Ukraine?

Great improvement if it doesn't cost the equivalent of some small country's annual budget per missle

There a site showing what all USA weapons have been tested in ukraine?

Whatever happened to smokeless propellants? Maybe it doesn't matter if launching far from the front. But if you're using a ramjet, I would think you could take the small performance hit with double base or triple base propellants. Then you don't have an obvious smoke trail going back to your launchers.

“Gonna hurt me some orcs with this baby!” 💥

I urge and plead with America. PLEASE keep supporting Ukraine , with no delays 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

JUAN Soto, MLB GOAT

Now, question is how do they take to actually make. Just because it's better than the ATACMS, it could take twice as long, 3 x longer to make each unit. Could take less time. 🤷‍♂️

Put propellers on front and swivels ring ms on sides

When I saw these atacms they look like liberty caps, but the new successor to the atacms should be named PrSM aka 'liberty cap missile' because they look identical to liberty caps but second thoughts, they could call them aka magic mushroom missiles.

Can the new Mako hypersonic missile be fired from a HIMARS launcher?

What are the costs per PrSM missile? My (only) problem with ATACMS, GMLRS and PrSM is their horrendous costs. And that leads me to the suspucion, that there's a lack of a working market for such weapons. I'm pretty sure, if US Army would define a platform and its demands, it could allow more competition - e.g. with european companies like MBDA or Rheinmetall.

sounds like more ATACMS will be released from US this year ---- According to Defense Department budget documents, the PrSM will cost $1.2 billion, with 110 to be procured in fiscal year 2024 and 190 in FY-25. Earlier in 2023, the Senate Armed Services Committee urged the Army to procure 400 PrSMs per year while the service has considered issuing multiyear contracts for the system.

It better have a backup navigation system so it's not solely reliant on GPS.

The shortest distance between Taiwan and mainland China is around 130 kilometers (81 miles)

Shouldn’t be so quick to get rid of cluster munitions, this could use a cluster warhead.

WEll if the next comflict is with China, America Needs a Long Range delivery system that can do better in close support like C-130's can provide, they can land at forward landing sites and reload a lot for fire power. Better than the long range bombers, being in the Rear of frontlines means a lot when fighting with the Pacific ocean distance to cover.

What missile was used on the Pentagon on 9/11/2001? I'm not being a conspiracy theorist. Rumsfeld said it was a missile on live TV.

600 miles and 2 missiles in 1 pod? So what's inside 5kg heat warhead?

Depends how fast or how quick the US Aerospace Defence industries, can build and supply the US Army and USMC with PRSM weapons, then the US Government can release ATASM weapon systems to Ukraine equally?

Taiwan could use a few dozen launchers, and a few hundred PRSMs too, and they can afford to pay for them, and we should see that they get them.

Need something with a decent ram jet in it

Yes it would as long as the Prsm costs are the same as ATACM, but something tells me they are much more expensive. These escalating prices on arms and ammunition is out of hand and needs to be brough back to earth.

the most important point has to be cost you can´t sustain a war with one single Rocket costs half a million dollar

I would bet uncle Vlad is shaking in his shoes. He knows mother Russia is doomed.

How will the PRSM react to GPS jamming? Jamming has already been effective against our weapons in Ukraine.

What is their guidance system? Russia, and presumably China, has advanced electronic warfare capabilities that interfere with the standard GPS guidance of the ATACMS missiles.

That puts half a dozen PLA Navy ports within range of Taipei. Once the range is extended it will be almost the entire East China seaboard.

Slawa Ukrainie 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

ATACMS are incredible guided missiles. Deadly accurate. But an old platform and munitions for them are not plentiful especially the M39 Cluster Bomb. Too bad incredibly effective bomb.

these things are worth their weight in gold on a battlefield. ukraine has shown the advantage a system like this gives the attacker.

How much 😢

Remind the Russian trolls all over UKposts that they no longer have helicopters in Ukraine. LOL

Thank God we have Russian radar to test this on

We are here on earth for a journey no boundaries live in peace thats what life is you love your parents children... Everyone has parents and children living in peace won't harm anyone. ... Why why why? What religion worship your own no problem....

*Yup,,, All 560 ATACMS are on the chopping block,,,*

Recommend extensive field testing in Ukraine!!

And this one will be ten times more expensive so the will build only few of them. Ok.

Ukraine will test them for a cut of future sales.

"PRISM" missile?

It may be months or even over a year or two before the PRSMs are in full production and ready to be deployed overseas. So I doubt Ukraine is going to get them any time soon unfortunately.

Strictly an American export weapon. If America wanted to destroy something or someone with level of firepower it would use a drone or a fighter jet. Also it just seems to be like a Russian Zircon with a higher price tag.

Range is classified. Please don't give us numbers.

Thought they oust got them. 😂

The Ukrainian military will be getting the longer range Atacms that they have not had in the past. We can only pray for the aid package to Ukraine to be voted on and signed by Biden soon. Slava Ukraini

The Free World attracts and retains the brightest minds and most dedicated and loyal people from around the globe. Autocrats tremble.

How about studying peace and fighting greed, which is the greatest threat to peace.

We all know the answer... Just waiting for the transport

Wystarczy że Ukraina dostanie dużo ATMS i będzie git.

So... it's just another missile?

You lost me at "miles" 😢

People, wake up..... Russia is in the midst of a war time economy production rates.. Thus way they're able to significantly outproduce the combined arms and ammunition output of NATO countries. Russia is churning out 2 million shells and1500 tanks a year and over 100 long range missiles a month. We need to take this seriously and although it's unreasonable to expect USA, Germany, Spain or Belgium transferring to war economy now, we can still significantly ramp up production of 155mm shells, GMLRS, PRsM, Javelins, Patriot and NASAMS interceptors.... Combined we have a 30 times larger economic output than a 3rd world country like Russia. Let's move and start being serious about this.. OK?

We can build great stuff. But if we can't establish at least air superiority quickly, these missile want matter in the next great war due to their cost.

Send some of these to Ukraine for more testing and surprise the Russian.

We have to build our PSRM inventory up, then we can provide TACAMS to Ukraine.

Wish they would have called it ATACMS 2. Way better name.

Ever use a mouse? That's the future of fighting. Drones use game controllers (everyone knows mice are more precise). AI Robots rule the ground. The only battles left are in the air, space, and in the sea. Land wars are obsolete.

that’s 91 kilograms….not 91 kilogarms

Most definitely send some to Ukraine 🇺🇦....for further Testing

Send it to Ukraine!!!

Small warheads optimized to perform like larger warheads. Going to be a letdown in that regard. ATACMS has a great payload

PRSM need,s real world testing in Ukraine. against Russian electronic jamming

I remember when we didn't put our capabilities out there

I don't think ATACMS missiles should be called artillery.

It's not smart to show our enemies what we got.

Ukraine becomes the ground to test new arsenals

Ukraine to Moscow is about 600 miles…

The ATACMS is a beautiful tactical ballistic missile~♥

First strike, depleted heads. Second drone assault cluster assist, third Thermo.

Why not to test this weapon in Ukraine.

More hype

A new tool for "kinetic" diplomacy. Something Russia will understand and respect.

Send to Ukraine for real world testing

This is just one of the outdated systems there is no doubt that this is one of the last multiple rocket launchers that is precision if you have the correct GPS coordinates and what is good it is not difficult to train the army to work on it, but since in the East for such systems it is completely complete driving military school which gives a non-commissioned officer each of the non-commissioned officers is capable of being just as accurate on much older systems Which costs much less. But there is something that very little is said about, The most recent missiles should be listed via the G3 and G 4 networks as well as the drone, but this applies only to underlinemissiles. However, with the introduction of 5 G can very soon almost all types of ammunition will be accurate in 1 cm, this type of guidance will be able to be used in addition to rockets and grenades for 12.7 mm caliber, so what until yesterday was an anti-material rifle will be the most accurate weapon tomorrow. No matter how much the West pays attention to finishing it doesn't mean that such weapons are better, What's more, I think that all those soldiers who are used to feeling comfortable at all times when they find themselves in difficult conditions I think that such a soldier will surrender much sooner, especially since so far all Western soldiers have mostly been exchanged and even returned as soon as the conflict is over, there are nations or these nations that in the last 150 years in every war if they fell into the hands of the enemy would be immediately They are killed and simply surrender is not an option for them, even if they are seriously wounded.

A question that comes to mind is whether the advent of the PRSM will make the stocks of the older Atacms less important to US forces and therefore make them more available to Ukraine

So big question- is this nuclear capable?

We are at war but to actually come out and say it would upset snowflakes

This frees up the older Atacms to go to Ukraine..........get ready Crimea you may not have a bridge in a week or two....

*Join the Enlightenment* *Support Secular Humanism.* Thanks...

Too bad it will cost an arm and a leg. I bed Russia will produce something that's compable to those for a fifth of the cost. I guess that's what happens when the military complex has a monopoly on arms sales.
