Inside the cloud of smoke is a US Army High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, one of NATO’s most effective long-range weapons. Easily deployable and ready for use in minutes, HIMARS can be used to defend Allied territory on short notice.
The US Army deployed HIMARS to Latvia on 26 September to participate in Exercise Silver Arrow 22. The launchers were picked up from Germany by U.S. Air Force MC-130J Commando II transport aircraft based in the United Kingdom; they then flew to Liepāja Airport on Latvia’s western coast.
HIMARS gives NATO the ability to conduct powerful long-range precision strikes, and the US Army regularly deploys the system to the Baltics to train alongside NATO Allies.
