Edited. by German Polysalov [REGNUM] As part of the Valiant Shield exercises, military maneuvers conducted by the United States in the Pacific Ocean, the Americans tested the latest high-precision ballistic missiles for combating ships. Two PrSM missiles were launched from a launcher located on the territory of the Palau International Airport in the island state of the same name. The June 16 firing marked the first time the missiles have been used outside of U.S. test ranges or inside the United States. The PrSM rounds, which are replacing the ATACMS, were fired from a prototype AML unmanned rocket launcher based on the U.S. HIMARS, although the latter is also compatible with the new missiles. In short, this tandem of innovation, with PrSM and AML participating in joint live-fire exercises, preceded the culmination of military sinking exercises (SINKEX), which involves the destruction of decommissioned ships while testing weapons. |
