Recall HIMARS is an American multiple launch rocket system. It was created on the basis of a five-ton FMTV wheeled chassis of the US Army. The RSZV can carry six rockets or one ATACMS operational-tactical ballistic missile. The operating range of the HIMARS M142 is from 2 to 500 km (depending on the shells).
