On this channel we’ve spent a bit of time looking at systems that have underperformed (or are claimed to have underperformed) in Ukraine against the backdrop of a changing battlefield and the rising prominence of newer systems like drones and loitering munitions.Multiple Rocket Launchers (MRLs) don’t appear to fall into that category.From the US designed HIMARS and M270s to some of Russia’s own, dangerous systems, MRLs have played a major role in Ukraine and are the subject of intense development and procurement activity around the world. In this episode, I look at their development, doctrine, use in Ukraine, and ask what might be next for these dangerous battlefield systems.
