• A few days after 16 HIMARS became operational, Ukraine started destroying Russian command centres and logistics.
• Selecting a target and firing on HIMARS is comparably easy compared to the multi-step maths needed to aim a howitzer.
• Existing Ukrainian artillery personnel find that their howitzer skills enable them to quickly become operationally proficient at operating HIMARS.
