“Guided MLRS has revolutionized the role of field artillery into the urban fight,” he said. “We can now take a rocket, shoot it up to 70 kilometers and put it precisely on a target while reducing collateral damage."
Cuffy includes a nifty video of a rooftop sniper conducting an involuntary personal evaluation of this munition.
The test rendered him unable to complete the survey questionnaire; however, on-site military personnel appear to claim that this itself is proof of the rocket's efficacy.
I guess we'll never know.
