Boosting HIMARS with M26 cluster rockets: Expert advice
A former US artillery officer argues that Ukraine's HIMARS rocket artillery systems need a firepower boost with M26 cluster rockets to increase their lethality and threaten Russian artillery. The cluster rockets, which contain more submunitions than the current cluster munitions, would allow Ukraine to target Russian artillery pieces and cripple a key capability in the conflict. While the US has provided dual-purpose improved conventional munitions (DPICMs) to Ukraine, the officer believes that providing M26 rockets would be a game-changer and give Ukraine a chance to win the war.
