And the point is? My point is that MLRS is overhyped regarding this conflict.
It is a dual use system, a rocket launcher and a missile platform.
So are the Russian and Ukrainian systems, even though they are seldom used as the missile platform because there are better systems for such capacity.
Then the media tries to compare the Russian systems in the capacity of rocket launcher with the MLRS as a missile platform which is intellectually dishonest to start with.
The only use for MLRS with GMLRS or ATACMs is as a terror weapon against the civilian targets on Russian territory.

#19. " The only use for MLRS with GMLRS or ATACMs is as a terror weapon against the civilian targets on Russian territory."

Ukraine is getting MLRS and GMLRS. They are not getting the longer ranged ATACM or PRsM. Ukraine has more important problems than attacking Russian cities with missiles they are not going to get.
