🚨🚨 THIS MISSILE JUST CHANGED WARFARE FOREVER
The US just used a missile in the Iran war that has never been fired in any war before.
It's the Precision Strike Missile. PrSM. Fired from the same HIMARS trucks that became famous in Ukraine.
Old missile (ATACMS) range: 300 km PrSM range: 500 km Next version: 1,000 km
→ Every launcher now carries 2 missiles instead of 1 → It explodes ABOVE the target and sprays tens of thousands of tungsten pellets in every direction → CENTCOM fired it in the first 24 hours of the war and called it a "historic first" → The Army just signed a $1.2 BILLION contract for a version that hunts SHIPS and moving targets → Lockheed already got an $8.4 BILLION deal to ramp up production
This is why the fight for the Strait of Hormuz just changed.
The US has burned through up to two-thirds of its missile-defense interceptors. Rebuilding them takes at least 5 YEARS.
That rate is unsustainable. You can't keep shooting down everything Iran fires.
So you kill the launchers and the boats BEFORE they fire.
Iran spent decades hiding missiles and fast boats along a 21-mile strait. A truck-launched missile with a 500 km reach turns that entire coastline into a target.
Iran's answer? A new anti-ship missile with a CLUSTER warhead, fired at the USS George Washington on Sept 5. It missed.
But here's the part the brochure leaves out: Airwars and the AP say 3 of these missiles hit the Iranian city of Lamerd on day one. 21 civilians dead. 7 children. Pellets killed people 50 meters from the blast. CENTCOM says it wasn't theirs.
This isn't just a weapon. It's the template for every war that comes next.
