US HIMARS rockets can now be retargeted mid-flight
Original: Le HIMARS recible ses roquettes en vol : au Pentagone, même les missiles changent d’avis plus vite que les généraux. # H
The Pentagon has demonstrated that HIMARS-launched GMLRS rockets can be redirected at a new target while in flight, a major step in precision strike capability. The news is drawing attention with sardonic framing that the missiles now change course faster than the generals behind them, highlighting rapid advances in guided munitions technology.
Why now: Reports of mid-flight retargeting of HIMARS rockets mark a notable technological advance relevant to ongoing debates about Western artillery support
