Just FYI >
There are two applications of the HIMARS at this time. The first is obviously the schoolhouse where one half of the USMC HIMARs are located and the other half are with F Battery, 2nd Bn, 14th Marine Regiment currently deployed to CENTCOM. (I was there, push button go whoosh, nothing impressive in my opinion)

It has tubes for 6x 227mm rockets, or this rocket pod can be replaced by ATACMS missile pod, which one could liken to a "scud" missile, range, and warhead are similar, and accuracy far better, so i really wouldnt call this one "a light", lighter than MLRS or tracked chasis, yes, but light as a weapons in calibre or firepower/accuracy, certainly not. More like HEAVY or SUPER-HEAVY, depending what being launched.

Never. This road speed would equal over 112 mph. Maybe 80 km/h?-- Cancun771 ( talk) 01:43, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
if this is supposed to replace the M270, why is it an M142? why the low number? is M142 a rocket number? Brian in denver ( talk) 20:50, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
The M270MLRS is a tracked vehicle using a chassis based on the M2 Bradley; the M142 is a wheeled vehicle using a 5-ton truck chassis. This puts the M142 in a different designation type and number series. 74.212.3.41 ( talk) 19:43, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. I didn't move it, but found it this way, so I'm just closing the discussion. - GTBacchus( talk) 18:35, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
High Mobility Artillery Rocket System → HIMARS – Similar to Humvee or MRAP I guess. Marcus Qwertyus 16:02, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
\barmy-technology\.com\b
on the local blacklistIf you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

Why reduced from M270 12 rockets to Himar 6? someone knows the answer? -- 188.171.58.18 ( talk) 21:50, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I tend to ask before I edit. The HIMARS system appears to have been deployed in Ukraine recently: https://avia-pro.net/news/ssha-peredadut-ukraine-kompleksy-m142-himars-s-dalnostyu-do-500-kilometrov
I'm not sure if that is RSS and reports are sparse. Thelisteninghand ( talk) 20:38, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
Unit cost is currently given as "$5.1 million (cost of launcher and all ammunition required)". The "all ammunition required" is a problem (required for what?). Probably this should just be the cost of the system without regard to the ammunition, but I don't have a source for that. CAVincent ( talk) 06:02, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
The list of potential operators says Canada was considering purchasing some by 2012. Since it is now 2022 and Canada does not operate the system, should they be removed? 2607:FEA8:9563:9A00:D89F:6BDD:D4D1:4069 ( talk) 13:48, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
Towards the end of the discussion of use of the system in Ukraine:
The discussion or 'text' that follows the Telegram Channel mention -- seems to be pro-Russian. It mentions shooting down Ukrainian missile. That seems to be ... not pro Ukraine.
I think someone should check this.
The paragraph can be cleaned up a bit depending on whether this point of view is pro Russian or pro Ukrainian. 2603:301D:1E0C:8000:9188:392E:27B6:85EF ( talk) 20:35, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
I wonder if it makes you mad whether it is pro russian or pro ukrainian... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.172.105.129 ( talk) 14:34, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
There is a lot of information out there saying either one or the other, sometimes both. People often say tungsten when they actually mean tungsten carbide (or some alloy), which further complicates things. Does anyone have any sort of credible source on what the shrapnel is actually made out of? The first assumption is that it is the same as in APFSDS penetrators, so a tungsten heavy alloy (WHA). However, given that these spheres do not need to be actual spheres, their production you be as simple a letting molten material cool down in free fall. So it could also be pure tungsten or some other alloy that would otherwise be hard to machine/produce. Eheran ( talk) 10:55, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
You cannot categorically say "first destruction", but rather first "confirmed or proven destruction". There may be equipment that has been destroyed a long time ago, but for many obvious reasons it has not been possible to verify it. In fact, there is a video from a couple of days ago in infrared vision of the destruction of what could have been another vehicle and perhaps two, either another launcher or the reloader. In addition to another video a little earlier of a launcher being targeted by artillery in a forest where it hid after launching his load, but the result is not seen. The peculiarity of the most recent video is that it is a "high definition" real color image with full recognition of the vehicle and its destruction beyond any doubt. 152.207.201.130 ( talk) 06:04, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
From what I understand Citation 90 links to a page to allow your IP to access the library of sources that website has. Presumably whoever added it meant to add a specific source from that library not a request to whitelist and IP. Unless I am fundamentally misunderstanding what that page does.
I believe the correct citation should be from the article "Arms Sale Notification" dated 10//24/2017 which makes a statement about a proximity fuze and a 10m burst height. Archive.org seems unable to show that article even though it has an archived page from 2023 (it just redirects to the request IP white listing page).
How should that be properly sourced? 2604:3D08:5A7A:48F0:8B12:3B3E:F28A:1527 ( talk) 10:50, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
