HIMARS: Who is Singapore targeting?
Although Ahiruddin Atan a.k.a Rocky said he is safe because he is not inside the 60km-range of the deadly weapon called HIMARS, our top military brass should be concerned of this latest purchase by Singapore.
The order for the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) includes nine trucks, each fitted with a pod of six rocket tubes. At the press of a button, the trucks can launch rockets to pound enemy positions some 60km away.
What makes the system lethal is the 644 armour-piercing bomblets – each smaller than a soft drink can – packed into each rocket warhead. A salvo of six rockets could thus rain 3,864 bomblets widely over enemy positions, and punch through armour up to 10cm thick.
