lol Maybe
Day 2, no trolls
2 months I have not seen a troll
@@takashishin8282 fr fr, maybe they took actual advice and probably enlisted
@Habitual Linecrosser Taiwan gonna get HIMARS soon to strengthen its Air Defense System. Really glad to see US-TW military cooperation continues to grow.
THIS is how we ship diplomacy at high speed all over the battle field.
"An angry baseball filled w/ explosives" love the description SFC
And democracy
St Javelins and Lord Himars. What a force multiplier.
Greetings from the HIMARS! The Lord HIMARS! The warrior of the wasteland! The ayatollah, of rock-and-rolla!
The first 2 AI Saints
St. HIMARS, Unaliveing Russian Conscripts, tanks, and senior military leaders, sense 2022.
Soviets: "Weapon system has achieved 80% effectiveness! This is grand achievement for the glory of Soviet Union!"
Americans: "98% effective? It's shit. Throw it away and do better."
I have always heard with effectiveness that the first digit is fixed, the second is basic, the third is decent, the fourth is expected, and the fifth is the goal. That means 99.999% is still beatable.
We don't slack when it comes to Unhealthcare.
@@bransonwalter5588 You never claim miore than 99.999% because of user error...
@@kevinsullivan3448 Yes, you can. User error can easily be corrected for using smarter methods.
@@bransonwalter5588 Have you ever met a human?
HIMARS, mobile anti-everything launcher in lightweight package. "Yes, you HAD a nice building from which you could ambush our troops from, you now have a mass grave and tombstone for your unit"
The things the US Military has come up with to make people no longer exist in this physical plane is absolutely astonishing
😂
HIMARS/MLRS can use a round called ATACMS for that sort of thing, but mostly they shoot JED, which is basically a rocket than open with a lot of big ass grenades in them.
See that abandoned school over there with all the enemy in it just chilling and what not... also all that ammo on the corridors and such?
Yeah... now you don't.
"The thicker US crater maker, that's me!"
- HIMARS, probably
that i think is reserved for the MLRS but yes definitely XD
You are a valuable man for all the folks looking for accurate information, HIMARS and MLRS are in a lot of conversations around the world, great job explaining (with sick humor - bonus).
Love the video man, great work!
Thank you so much I also saw you shared it you the best man
The American unhealthcare system at its finest.
Arsenals of democracy are not cheap baby
What makes you think that is entirely paid for with taxes? We’ve spent the last 40 ish years cutting revenue we can barely afford anything.
@@mkvenner2 nice try ivan
delivered right to you
@@mkvenner2Nope. Effective tax rates have remained fairly stable since the 1960s despite tax cuts, because every tax cut has been accompanied by the elimination of many deductions. When the top rate was dropped from 70% to 28% in the 1980s, the actual amount of taxes that people in the top bracket paid only fell by 1%-2%. So when people think “the rich” were ever paying those 70% or 90% rates, it means they don’t know what they’re talking about. The real issue is entitlement spending. We spend 6x as much on Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid as we do on the military.
HLC just sold HIMARS to a few dozen militaries around the world in this video.
I grew up about a mile from where these are made. It was always fun to watch them test drive these down my street. Ahh childhood memories. 😄
HIMARS are truly awesome
Wow thank you Alex Hollings for referring me to this channel! Excellent explanations, and humorous too! All us Americans should be watching these videos too get the real on our weapon systems and get to know the outstanding, courageous, highly skilled, men and woman who chose to serve, risking their lives to protect our freedom and of that of our important allies!! Thank you for your service!!
Now this is how you do a recruiting ad. A bit long but it does the trick.
As a vet and 13D that shit gets me hard, I wish I could have called fire missions for those. I shot 155 and 105s.
And I've only ever had the chance to work with them in korea
I played with them in Syria as a 13P. The not so fun part was clearing airspace. No one ever wanted to get out of the way, and no one liked my idea of shooting anyway and letting the problem sort itself out.
Just an old 16C here. Watching the HIMARS in action, to slightly paraphrase what SFC Long has elegantly worded elsewhere, "gets our landing gear a little stiffer, if you know what I mean." Thanks so much. Your videos and shorts are absolutely First Class.
This feels like an ad and I’m sold
Gotta love oshkosh! I work on one of their fire trucks - from 50 years ago.
Still a beautiful piece of engineering that still matches up with modern systems! (Even if it requires a human operator)
No matter how good a computer gets, it'll never be as effective as a finger pulling a trigger.
As an 88M with a HET unit my first mission into Iraq itself was hauling an MLRS, my platoon hauled roughly a dozen of them and dropped them off somewhere and then as part of a larger convoy we circled up for the moment in a defensive position. We got to watch the MLRS’s deliver their entire payload and that was awesome to witness in person. If you’re out there, I hope the crew of “Bada Bang” made it through the war in one piece.
**Me patiently awaiting one of these kinds of vids for HLC's bread and butter, Patriot**
Someday 😅
@@habitual_linecrosser We shall wait more patiently than Star Citizen fans
The sound the missiles make while leaving to meet their forever home is absolutely biblical! Thanks for the lesson Sir!
I'm blown away that he's able to get approval to do these videos with that much detail.
Army probably saw it as free Recruitment advertisement. Because Honestly the only people who could vaporize a 10x10 square better then a bunch of Army guys with HIMARS is the US Navy.
I love your "GPS Aided vs. GPS Guided" explanation.
"... turn its pronouns to past tense." had me laugh more than it probably should! I love your jokes, some REALLY take me by surprise.
Love the MLRS, or MARS as it's known here in Germany. Saw one empty its pods as a kid and it left an impression of awe, the noise, the sights, incredible.

Just want to say thank you for your service.
When pin is pulled, mr. grenade is not our friend…. Along with 299 of his buddies
Thank-you so much for these videos like these I missed shows like these back when American history Channel was military Channel
I feel like I’m being sold a HIMARS system 😂
i am in your mind, buy it, buy it, buy it for home defense. (This post was NOT made by Lockheed Martin Marketing)
Big Army, it’s in your best interests to promote this man and put him in charge of official communications.
You just doomed his career......
That was almost the best infomercial I have ever watch.

I love this style of video, so awesome to get to see these things in detail like this, great stuff!
I'm sold, take my money!! I'll take 3! 🤣
Thanks for the great video, very informational!
Much appreciated, SFC.
Love the description of the different between GPS aided and guided
Your content is perfect thanks for everything you do and keep the content rolling
Geez - was this an audition to Lockheed Martin ?? Seriously, this could be used as an introduction for their sales team - a few adjustments in tone, and it is a school-house introduction. BRAVO !!
People take note: this is how you do advertisement. Everything is there, little is extra.
I don't do war because blowing up a star could be considered universal crime, but I'm all for the enthusiasm.
This was informative and your humorous turns of phrase are great (especially explaining the difference between GPS modes). What kind of hoops did you have to go through to get permission to film on base and put the footage up on your personal UA-cam channel?
You have a talent for training videos 😉
Man what an awesome experience that must've been!
I miss this so much bro.
This is the best weapon system commercial i saw.
Most interesting HIMARS video I’ve watched.
As someone who's job it would be to sit a couple of kilometers behind the front in a high value electronic warfare vehicle I'm pretty happy that this shit is on our team.
I had no clue what the thing coming off the launcher was, I had no clue it was a crane to load the launcher, very interesting.
Great video
Thanks for the help, was wondering how everything worked on my At-Home HIMARS.
Dude great video. Super informative
Ever thought of doing an analysis/reaction to Air defense system in action? Like for example a vid of a pantsir trying to intercept a Himars rocket.
Not a half bad idea
I love your videos man 🤝
Good content.
Thanks learned something new today.
Amo tus contenidos con tu esposa ❤❤ y me encanta que presentes videos Como este❤❤te quedo genial e informativo 😮
It's a very good weapons system, but they also did a good job of making the front look cute.
i am so glad your chain of command sees the value in your content.. thank you.
Well done
This was my brigade 🤩 I was a captain in 3-13 FA
Thanks SFC
Yes yest, very nice. Well take 500 of them
That was a fun video
This feels like a sales pitch, and I am buying it
i love military humor! being a 7 year vet myself. i watched this twice.
This is the only commercial that can’t say “no one was harmed in the making of this product”
This is type of content you should lean into - this is excellent! Though the cheeky "arrogant America" conversations are funny, its tough to be taken seriously and viewed as the authoritative source (which you are) on American machinery with both types of content side by side
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU BOSSMAN!!!! MORE MORE MORE MORE!!!!!!!!!
It was awesome to get the invite out there I would love to do more of these
Do not ever tempt the HIMARS of fate.
Oshkosh will sell you a vehicle to destroy, and one to build it again. Well played Oshkosh, well played.
Obviously you got your info from the school house instructors. But thank you for not butchering it or sounding like a dummy. Great video

I would not want to be a military that has to go against those things (especially if it is combined with the airpower of the US...)
Russia is already having heavy problems, and Ukraine only has the 80km range ammunition. And if I am not mistaken not the heavy payload too.
(They struggled quite a lot to take done some bridges, they hit it, put it didn't pack enough of a punch to colapse the whole bridge.)
The problem with bridges is that they actually are a soft target. This might sound weird, but you don't want to go through the bridge. The way you take it out is to make it collapse. Higher weight missiles would just keep punching through more. You ideally want a small high speed projectile that explodes across the entire bridge by going to the middle of the thickness of it. If it is too light, it pockmarks the bridge. Too heavy, it splashes in the water. That is the problem. Bridges have been designed to rarely fail and one way it does that is by distributing the weight massively across the entire span. This means you effectively don't take it out until you basically cut it in half.
@@bransonwalter5588 You destroy a bridge by destroying the support pillars, no? For that you need a high payload.
Determining just how dead you want your target to be… priceless
Man I loved driving and shooting the HIMARS daddy the M-270.
🔥🔥🔥
Now I want to buy one
A huge step from the Honest Johns my dad launched... maybe even into Mexico. 😬
You cold do a sales video for these,
This is a really effective advertisement. Ill take 2
1:06, this feels like a car sales pitch im dead 🤣
That's an awesome way to get these young bucks to enlist, cause it's merica!
I have a quick question.When I was a kid we went back and forth between Ft. Bliss and Germany. My father was ADA. (Cool fact: he was stationed in Greenland back in the 60s) I can remember the rockets outside of one of the gates. That is where I figured you were at. One of your other videos you mentioned Whataburger and that used to be only in Texas. I was surprised to find out the had branched out. My husband did basic and AIT at Sill in the 80s, so I thought that post was FA, and not ADA. Has Bliss given up their ADA status?
On another note in Choctaw there was a restaurant called "Old Germany". It was amazing. We moved to Oklahoma in 1983 (one of the 16 places I lived by the time I was 16-most after he retired) and we used to go to it regularly. It was still there in 2004 because I took my daughters there during one of our trips out to see my mom. I know Sill is a bit away, but it would be worth the drive.
Tinker AFB is of course in OKC and I remember the AWACS. They were so cool to see.
In Germany as a child I recall Chinooks landing by us. Again pretty neat.
I got to see the Spade Shuttle in person because it did a hop into Bliss or White Sands I can't remember which since he was stationed jointly at both and we used to go there a lot. My husband thought I was lying about the cold sand until we looked it up in the Encyclopedia (this was before the WWW).
Now that I have totally bored you (sorry) I'll go.
I look forward to your videos and enjoy learning new things.
Let’s see more!
You have a gift sir. if the services would use it correctly you could single handily change the recruiting situation.
How do you say overmatch in russian?
...with tears comrade, with tears 😭
Took me a while to recognize you did stuff besides funny videos with talking countries and a psychotic F22.
A word from our sponsor: Lockheed Martin
Looks a lot Fort Riley
I have seen and done enough off roading to respect those wheels alone. I do opsec okay'd the production of this video.
You forgot to mention one key thing if it ain't leaking hydro fluid rhats because it's out lol good video hlc
"And this, is an angry baseball." 💀💀💀
It’s crazy how much of a difference these made in Ukraine. By hitting leadership and ammunition dumps this one piece of equipment pretty much shut down all Russian forward movements.
WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN DOIGNG THIS FOR YEARS?!?!?!?!?!?
the HIMARS is pretty much just a lighter cheaper version of the MLRS which came out in the 80s
Youre like a serious version of the fat electrician and I love it
Humm...🇨🇦 could use these.
Is white phosphorus still illegal to use on enemy positions ? Love the terrific content from Rocket Man, totally solid dude.
Those anti-personnel submunitions look like M67 HE-Frag hand grenades with the fuse assembly removed.
If the barrel was longer but folded for transport and it was launched with a railgun assist type mechanism while the thrust catches up from the rocket so it would have a faster launch right?
Recruiting command should just let you do their videos from now on😂
I would love that
How heavy are the pods and what does the support vehicle that carries them look like?
Around 5000lbs each and they are carried by a HEMMTT it can carry up to 4 pods I believe and has its own crane to offload
It would be very interesting to hear about the problems that apparently the Himars sometimes have with accuracy because of the Russian EWS's.
There isn't a lot of information about that but I am very interested in hearing some facts about it
There really isn't a massive problem. The biggest problem is GPS blocking. The thing about that is the US military has seen that as an issue since the 1970s. The difference is that you can still use GPS to go on the right track and use the rest of the systems to keep you going there when the GPS signal isn't functional.
This is better seen with the Patriot Missile. The Patriot missile system has a special internal system that tells the missile to "target on jam". Basically, whatever the source is, take it out.
@@bransonwalter5588 Thanks. So it is possible then to target these EWS ? Is there anything like the HARM Missiles ? Something that you can just let go and it will lock on the source jamming system
@@spectre1725Currently, I don’t think there’s any “home on jam” capability in the GMLRS rockets. However, the US can certainly determine the source of jamming and just target that position with a lot of rockets (or possibly just jam the jammer at that sort of range). They won’t be quite as accurate if the GPS signal is jammed and they have to use the inertial navigation backup, but they’re still more accurate than tube artillery, and you can make up for it with multiple rockets.
Looks like it might rain
