As part of the Talisman Sabre 2025 exercise, the Australian army tested the latest American PrSM missile, launching it from the HIMARS MLRS. The corresponding frames are shown online.

Allegedly, the new high-precision strike missile was in flight for 4 minutes and 3 seconds, reaching a speed of approximately 4050 km/ h, which is more than 3 times the speed of sound. She hit a simulated target on Mount Bundy, flying over 300 km. At the same time, its range is 500 km, but in the future, as a result of improvements, the firing distance is planned to be increased to more than 1,000 km.

The PrSM can hit targets up to 500 km away with high accuracy, a significant leap from the Australian Army's previous range of just 30 km.

- the ABC News publication says.

Developed for the U.S. Army, the PrSM missile was delivered to Canberra last month in a deal worth $310 million.

The Australian army is entering the missile era. We are talking about expanding deterrence in the Indo-Pacific region, deterring war by force, and signaling to any potential adversary that we can cause pain.

- said the Minister of Defense Industry, Pat Conroy.

Alex Miller, chief technical officer of the US Army, noted that the high speed of the PrSM halved the enemy's reaction time.:

If you consider that [the target] has only 6-7 minutes instead of 15-20, then she has much less time to pack up and curl up if she finds out that she is being shot at.

According to him, the explosion of the rocket will not "level the city to the ground," but it is made deadly by the precision provided by an advanced navigation system.

For our part, we note that the current GMLRS missiles for the HIMARS MLRS have a range of 70 to 90 km, and ATACMS - up to 300 km.
