How long does it take in your "opinion" - to set up an MLRS ready to fire status? just drive onto a road and press the fire button?Once u fire MLRS it exposes itself dosens kms around, so there is no point to conceal its position. What matters is fast relocation after firing.
I'm sure inserting the target coordinate input into the M142 CFCS won't reach 10 minutes max. And reloading wont take half as long as it would reloading Smerch'sHow long does it take in your "opinion" - to set up an MLRS firing position? just drive onto a road and press the fire button?
Yes.How long does it take in your "opinion" - to set up an MLRS ready to fire status? just drive onto a road and press the fire button?
The MLRS systems given to Ukraine do AFAIK not have ILMS capability - as such the "positioning" time is around 5 minutes (via a very experienced crew - incl. the salvo time) on average it is around 7 minutes. With ILMS and IFCS, the time for a very experienced crew is around 3 minutes - including salvo time, and if the command post transmits the selected target data directly to the MLRS computer within a or the specified time.I'm sure inserting the target coordinate input into the M142 CFCS won't reach 10 minutes max.

It would need the Russians to use their air force interdicting time critical target like the HIMARS.

Ukraine has HIMARS, and all HIMARS have better than ILMS/IFMS equivalents.The MLRS systems given to Ukraine do AFAIK not have ILMS capability - as such the "positioning" time is around 5 minutes (via a very experienced crew - incl. the salvo time) on average it is around 7 minutes. With ILMS and IFCS, the time for a very experienced crew is around 3 minutes - including salvo time, and if the command post transmits the selected target data directly to the MLRS computer within a or the specified time.
Reloading time (in practical) with IFCS is around 4 minutes
If you want to get a practical feeling for time (we used to do that in the Army) try hold your breath for 3 minutes (or repeatedly).
As such if one can't guarantee air-superiority and respective air-cover (e.g. towards drones) and HUMINT only an "idiot" would fire from an unconcealed position.
they do have the ILMS as standardThe MLRS systems given to Ukraine do AFAIK not have ILMS capability - as such the "positioning" time is around 5 minutes (via a very experienced crew - incl. the salvo time) on average it is around 7 minutes.
My bad, its not the CFCS but rather the older UFCS. Still, it would take little time to enter the coordinates.With ILMS and IFCS, the time for a very experienced crew is around 2-3 minutes - including salvo time, and if the command post transmits the selected target data directly to the MLRS computer within a or the specified time.
Press the "Yes". Orange usually means the text is linked.Source? - I mean Source not your personal opinion.
16 seconds plus firing time (depending on salvo ratio/setup) would already add to 1-3 minutes. The launcher can aim at a target in just 16 seconds.
Thanks - but I do presently not use a VPN.Press the "Yes". Orange usually means the text is linked.
I don't see any difference in war, is not like Russia have the ability to suddenly train their artillery in time as the Ukrainians are unleashing their GMLRS. The Smerch and Uragan are very slow to reload, very slow to train and very inaccurate, and most of them can't really reach the HIMARS.16 seconds plus firing time (depending on salvo ratio/setup) would already add to 1-3 minutes
And 16 seconds - yes sure during an exercise with all parameters set.
maybe with older SPH (Akatsiya, Giatsint, M109A3) or towed artillery, but clearly not the HIMARS. For all the destruction of Russian ammo dumps lately, there has been 0 losses in the side of HIMARS.Never-mind let the Ukrainians keep firing and loading from unconcealed positions - if they believe that to be a great idea. No wonder the Russians are able to pound the hell out of them
The US has two multiple launch rocket systems:
Very similar in capability with only minor differences. The HIMARS has a built-in crane for reloading its pod. The TRG-230 also uses pods for fast reloading but the crane is on the reloading vehicle. HIMARS rockets have slightly heavier warhead, whilst the TRG-230 has the ability to use 2 different pods at once (HIMARS can only use 1).How good is our TRG series If we compare them with HIMARS?
Yes its very fast.How long does it take in your "opinion" - to set up an MLRS ready to fire status? just drive onto a road and press the fire button?
Thomas C. Theiner has more military expertise than the entire Russian armed forces command....From an actual expert, Thomas C. Theiner:
- an Euromaidan press contributor, spend 2? years in the Italian army, and the author in 2015 off;
Romania prepares to fight Russian troops in Odessa Oblast, plans to sink the Black Sea Fleet on the way to Odessa, thinks about how best to overrun Russian bridgeheads on the Western side of the Dniester....
....But Ukraine needs a lot of M270A1 or M142. As @nicholadrummond already said: 48x launchers is the minimum. Plus lots and lots of missiles, and drones to spot every russian position. Send this to Ukraine NOW and we can wrap this war up before Ukraine's independence day.....(August 24th)
