Multiple rocket launcher

During this phase of the assault, I expect much effective Iranian resistance due to the overwhelming US firepower, armored vehicles, air support, superior weaponry, et cetera.

In Sistan Balochistan, Iranian ballistic missile platforms medium, no, multi-launch rocket system, MLRS systems, and our formations capable of confronting the invading forces are also fairly limited in quantity for the Iranians in the Balochistan region.

The initial phase of resistance would thus focus mainly on asymmetric warfare by the Iranians, small squads of Iranian ATGM crews, FPV drone operators, IEDs, drones, and what little precision guided artillery and air support could be scrambled.

This would probably cause enough mayhem on the U.S. side to slow their advance, but it won't be enough to stop them from making decent progress towards strategic objectives.

Yeah.

No Mindlets and the MLRS can't have...

Oh, the MLRS can have Mindlets.

Sorry, the 109s don't have it, the MLRS do.

Yes, unfortunately there's no special rounds for the 109s, correct.

Okay.

I can't get my head around the idea that a shell, which is fired without any propulsion other than the initial firing out of the gun or out of the system... how you can ramjet it, because there's nothing coming out the back of the shell.

No, and if you look at their website, they're very closely guided to how they've done it, how they've made this thing work, because they've also got a missile version of it called Invictus.

I didn't ask that question.

I get the ramjet missile completely.

I don't understand the technology of a ramjet artillery shell.

I have to say, I would defer that question to the subject.

Well, you may know better than me, but when you watch the videos of it happening, you can see this extra bit coming out the back of the munition, which is obviously part of this deployment to get around the issue you're talking

about.

Overnight Russian attacks, 73% drone interception rate, 22 locations hit or affected by debris.

MLRS and airstrikes, as well as drone launches above average.

400 strike drones, including jet power drones, launched into Russia.

Didn't say anything about missiles, but 400.

Highest daily casualties of 2026, sixth highest overall despite being below average in engagements.

Record seven-day MLRS losses.

Okay, that's why I'm highlighting that one as well.

It's a record for the ongoing record seven days rolling average.

It's not like the Russians decided not to do anything last night.

Third highest number of Russian drone launches, MLRS strikes and shelling above average.

14 Ukrainian strikes reported, 300 strike drones launched into Russia and occupied Ukraine.

So it was going on.

Plus, Lockheed Martin is setting up Europe's first HIMARS maintenance center in the Finnish city of Tampere.

Finland already operates the track version of the MLRS, which uses the same munitions.

Defense chiefs in the hangar were certainly aware of repeated reports of delays and deliveries of American-made weapons because of the war in the Middle East.

This spring, several European countries were informed by the United States government of possible delays to already purchased weapons.

Croatia buys South Korean rocket artillery after buying HIMARS from the United States.

This is from Today Defense News.

Croatia has approved the acquisition of 18 K239 Chunmu MLRS from South Korea.

Croatia is joining other current European countries, I think Poland uses them, that have ordered the weapon as considered an alternative to the Lockheed Martin M142 HIMARS.
