Will Ukraine’s Use Of HIMARS To Hit Putin’s Forces Impact US’ Own Stockpiles Of Munitions?
Переглядів 122,279
День томуUkraine claims to be using the US-made M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) to devastating effect against the Russians. Ukraine's defence minister has likened his troops’ use of HIMARS to “a surgeon working with a scalpel.” Washington recently announced four additional HIMARS to Ukraine which brings the US’s total MLRS commitment to 16.
Ukraine has demanded as many as 100 HIMARS, which equates to about 20% of the entire US stockpile. Experts say that Kyiv should worry more about its supply of munitions, not the launch vehicles themselves.

Firstly, this is the USA we are talking about, if they really wanted to, they have the capacity to increase production. Second even if they do burn through American stocks. Its not like America was in need of using them to begin with. Aircraft and Drones have been America's preferred method of delivering precision fire support anyway. And the US is in no way running out of those.

The point is that the US will first and foremost ensure that their own troops have enough of these units and enough equipment to use them.

The burn rate is an argument for quickly and greatly ramping up US production of the rockets. It will come as no surprise to military professionals that this issue is a matter of logistics. "Get there firstest with the mostest." Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest. That's logistics summed up in 6 words. NATO has already badly blown the "firstest" part in not supplying HIMARS months ago. If NATO blows the "mostest" part through inadequate production, then Ukraine may lose its freedom. Soldiers win battles, logistics wins wars.

Former 13-M MLRS crew member here, just putting in 2 cents. For some reason, everyone seems to confuse Missiles and Rockets. And I'm not talking about the viewers, but the content creators. So to put in to perspective, 1 rocket will displace 6 missiles on the HIMARS. 1 missile can accurately take out a tank, or building, or whatever cords it's given. 1 rocket can do much much more damage, depending on the payload it carries, but has little use at the current moment in this war. In fact, I have my doubts that Ukraine has even fired a single rocket since receiving their HIMARS. Ukraine needs missiles, not rockets.... MISSILES!!!!! Ok soldiers. Carry on.

That is not only pedantic but inaccurate. Strictly speaking a missile is any targeted projectile, even a crossbow bolt is a missile. A rocket is a specific type of thrust engine. A rocket may be used to propel a missile. A missile may be guided, unguided, on an aerodynamic dominated path or ballistic path. From latin missilis: "That may be thrown".

@@mytech6779 I'm not denying that you're wrong, however, in this case the terms are very specific. We loaded either Missiles or Rockets, and there was no mistake between. Missiles in the case of the HIMARS, hit the targets by means GPS. Rockets in the case of the HIMARS carry payloads and usually disassemble during the flight and release a cargo of specific arsenal. Bomblets, Steel Balls, Land minds, and even mini thermal guided Missiles are some that I am aware of. HIMARS ammo is limited to a set type of ammo that doesn't do much more outside it's field of operation.

Until now the Ukrainians has fired about 600 misiles. Let's assume the US can 'spare' 1/3 of their stock the number will still be aprox. 10.000 misiles for Ukraine. So, with 600 misiles fired there's still 9.400. left to hit Russian targets. Officials say the production is around 9.000 missiles pr. year. Add that with the years since the last larger use of these misiles happened. In around 30 years the stock will be around 30.000 misiles. And my ten cents are the US already ordered more misiles and probably asked if the production can be extended.

Somebody needs to open up a barb wire fun camp with posters at the front door saying things like "happiness comes from inside not outside.". "positive thinking has power". "You can do anything you want if you put your mind to it". and "move in silence". Then we can just wait for them to all manifest their way out of prison with their positive attitudes and silent steps.

Here’s the problem we can only make so many each year and the number we can make is way way lower then what Ukraine wants. It would take years to rebuild the stockpile. These arnt things you can just say hey build 10,000 of these. The lines are only capable of so many at peace time and there’s no way we can ramp it up just for this war

@NileBoat Рік тому
The US could keep producing these rockets, but as the economic supply chain is really strained, this could cause whoever really runs America to tire of the Ukraine war. This is evidenced by the US regime's hope in an "off-ramp" for Putin to end his war; this hope is rather naive. Real question: when will the USA's interest in the war start to vanish.

i doubt they will run out of ammo, especially because HIMARS isn´t the only system in Ukraine now - MLRS (and Mars II) followed and will be delivered in future also. Pretty much the same system, just that they carry 12 rockets, instead of 6. Ukraine will be fine, at least for the upcoming offensive in the south - and as we all learnt: They know how to use them wisely. Slava Ukraini!

Production is 9000 rockets per yr. That equates to 750 a month or 25 a day sustained. Can Russia take 25 missiles a day everyday?
@vsohmen Рік тому
It is extremely important that Ukraine preserve, protect, and deploy with utmost economy and accuracy (without wastage) all the HIMARS and all the rockets associated with them, as well as the sophisticated weaponry provided by the allies. (Russians claim they destroyed 100 HIMARS rockets, along with 120 Ukrainian soldiers, technicians, and foreign volunteers). The US and other arms-supplying allies should hold Ukraine accountable for the inventory sacrificially provided to them: if Ukraine can report that over 40,000 Russian soldiers have been eliminated, their leaders should also be able to give accurate tallies to allies of how donated weaponry was used.

LOL too many types of delivery systems for an AO American company commander to choose from- HIMARs being only one of these options. Do not worry another bid will come out of the Pentagon for more munitions always does. Besides if the UAF can hold more NATO capabilities will be deployed with trained personnel to give them an edge. Soon or later only one army will stand.

@TyroneBeiron Рік тому
The number of these missiles alone cannot justify the cost of not using them, when the Russians are firing silos of rockets, missiles, cruise missiles, air to surface missiles, cluster munitions and other munitions by the thousands. The real value is using these to critically disrupt, blind and confuse the occupational forces and then sweep them out. So the high value targets for HIMARS seem to justify its use, but it needs the longer range ones to make the real difference.

Nothing to worry about, ramp up production and procure more rockets. Ukraine is exhausting the Russian military to an all time low. This is strategically worth the cost of the hardware we are sending. If war did break out with China it would be mostly fought at sea and in the air anyway. A land invasion of China would most likely not be needed.

Absolutely no chance of them running out of missiles ... Ukraine can use 750 missiles a month without using any in stock ..or 25 a day NO CHANGE of running out of stock

America still has that capacity, but just like wwii it takes time to retool industrial sectors to fight a war. It took until late 1942 before American industrial might was making a very visible impact on the war effort (1943 for the navy and pacific war effort) prior to that America was still fighting its with pre war assets.
