U.S. Army Conducts HIMARS Rocket Launcher Live Fire in Lithuania

Описание: In this exclusive Defense Web TV report, filmed on Lithuania’s Baltic coast, Army Recognition takes you inside a U.S. Army M142 HIMARS live-fire exercise conducted near Klaipeda alongside the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Recorded under harsh winter conditions, this video focuses on the HIMARS rocket launcher itself, explaining why it has become one of the most influential long-range precision fire systems in NATO service as Lithuania prepares to field its own launchers.

Shot on location, the report features direct commentary from U.S. Army personnel involved in the exercise, who break down how HIMARS combines high mobility, digital fire control, and rapid shoot-and-scoot tactics to survive and fight in contested environments. They explain how GPS-guided GMLRS rockets, extended-range munitions, and ATACMS-class missiles are integrated into a single truck-mounted launcher capable of delivering precision effects across the tactical and operational depth of the battlefield. The video also examines how joint U.S.-Lithuanian training accelerates interoperability and sends a clear deterrence signal along NATO’s northeastern flank.

This episode sets the technical and operational context of the exercise, detailing why HIMARS is now a benchmark for modern rocket artillery and a key element of Baltic defense planning. A follow-up video will show the live-fire sequence itself, capturing the moment rockets are launched into a designated maritime impact area in the Baltic Sea.
