US artillery rocket systems are proving vital in allowing Ukraine to strike deep behind Russia lines with remarkable accuracy.

High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) were first provided to Ukraine in June 2022 to stem the tide of Vladimir Putin's advances in the Donbas.

Months later, Russia's progress had not just screeched to a halt but had headed in reverse, thanks in no small part to the HIMARS.

Rockets ride atop a heavily armoured and hermetically sealed vehicle, which boasts six wheels and six-wheel drive ensuring high mobility and the capacity to reach high speeds.

HIMARS launches the impressive Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) artillery which have a vast range of 45 miles, much further than the standard 18 miles.
