You think Lockheed is secretly testing PRSM in Ukraine?
The UKR government did ask defense contractors to test weapons in the country.

No
(check'd)
The duality of man
Yes
No due the risk of the Russians getting their hands on parta of it and either reverse-engineering it or selling it to China. Ukraine gets only third rate stuff from 1 or 2 decades ago.
>reverse-engineering
Russia can't even reverse engineer civilian cars from 80s
>selling it to China
Somewhat bigger threat
>Russia can't even reverse engineer civilian cars from 80s
They can't manufacture reverse-engineered components, but they can dissect and analyze those components then, say, sell the info to someone like China who can manufacture it.

>reverse engineer
>or sell to China
PrSM is shit compared to Iskander and a bunch of missiles China already has or will have. What exactly do they gain from reverse engineering a 500-600km range missile with a 200lb warhead in 2022? sad how far the U.S have fallen in terms of firepower even when compared to North Korea and Iran.
>least moronic vatnik
Russia's day-to-day missile failure rate was 60% in March
it's "200 lbs" of explosive. Not 200 lbs TNT equivalent. The next part is that it's a >500km land attack missile with a CEP of something like 3 meters..
Realistically there's not much you can do to improve canned missiles outside of small improvements in material science, cost to manufacture (Manufacturing improvements, automation etc) and maybe other soft factors like reduced rocket trail visibility.
Integration into local networks and mid/end stage manoeuvring and improved speed/efficiency is about it for generic low cost modern missile tech really.
Yes and that's why the US never moved past the M26 rocket for the M270.
>Why would you want a missile that weighs a quarter as much as an iskander, has a cep of less than 5m and can be carried by a truck instead of an iskander with a 50m cep carried on a discussion designed vehicle that weighs 25t and can only carry 2 at a time that needs hours to reload???

Wasn't this a possibility in the Korean war and Vietnam to a lesser extent? I'm sure the USSR got some juicy loot.

>Lockheed is secretly testing PRSM in Ukraine
Wouldn't the US government have to approve that?
the US Army received a little more than 100 missiles this year for LRIP. So yes, it's entirely possible. It just hasnt reached full IOC yet. (2023)
Would make sense. also 2 missiles per pod. One M270 could fire 4 at a time. I wonder if just one 4 missile volley did the trick.
Someone use that Legolas and Gimli meme template to show Crab and PzH2000 becoming friends for maximum vatnig seethe. (No, I won't do it myself.)
Or maybe it's Ukraine using its own domestic design?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hrim-2
Only one prototype was made before the war, maybe they managed to start production of missiles.
Range of up to 500 km.
No one knows
