Fury. He announced that the US Army and the US Marines had destroyed deposits, sunk ships and a submarine with ATACMS and hit deeply in Iran with the Precision Strike Missile (PrSMs) (3\u201934\u2019\u2019).<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>1<\/strong><\/a> He said that the unit who employed for the first time in combat the PrSM is the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Battalion of the 27<sup>th<\/sup> Field Artillery Regiment (US Army) based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina and currently equipped with Himars.<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>2<\/strong><\/a> Announcement of the use of the PrSM for the first time for strikes had appeared at the beginning of the war.<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>3<\/strong><\/a> However, examination of available images, published by US CENTCOM (Central Command) or by observers in the Gulf, does not allow for visual confirmation of this debut at this stage. While it is highly likely that the missile was used, the location of its launch and the outcome of the strike are missing to confirm this first combat use.<\/p><p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a><\/p><h4>Specifications<\/h4><p>The PrSM is a surface-to-surface missile whose development began in 2016. The Army aimed to acquiring a 430 mm diameter missile with the ability to engage targets exceeding the ATACMS\u2019 range. Its range was initially limited by the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF treaty) who prohibited ground launched missiles with a range of 500-5,500 km. However, on 1 February 2019 Donald Trump suspended the US participation to the INF treaty. The PrSM may therefore have an extended range. The constructor, Lockheed Martin currently presents it with a range of \u201c499+ km\u201d.<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>4<\/strong><\/a> The increment 2 version that will give a maritime and a capability to engage moving targets has just been tested<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>5<\/strong><\/a> and future increments should reach a range beyond 1.000 km.<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>6<\/strong><\/a> Lockheed aims at a production of 400 missiles per year.<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>7<\/strong><\/a><\/p><p>Two platforms can carry and launch the PrSM:<\/p><ul><li>The Himars (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System), a 16-ton 6&#215;6 truck.<\/li><li>The M270 MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System), a tracked armoured vehicle that shares its chassis with the M2 Bradley. Heavier (24 tons) than the Himars, it cannot be carried by the aircraft C-130 Hercules.<\/li><\/ul><p>These two vehicles were originally designed as multiple rocket launchers. Each carries a pod (two in the case of the M270) containing 2&#215;3 rockets or one ATACMS. The rockets are 227 mm in diameter and have a range and payload that vary according to the model (up to 150 km range for the ER GMLRS). The ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) is a 610 mm missile with a range of up to approximately 300 km. PrSMs are missiles placed in pairs, side by side in standardised pods. Both platform (Himars and MLRS) can carry this missile.<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>8<\/strong><\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-56d86e3\" data-id=\"56d86e3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79e0da1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"79e0da1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<table style=\"height: 532px;\" width=\"222\"><tbody><tr><td width=\"159\"><p><strong>Time<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td width=\"194\"><p>March 2026\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"159\"><p><strong>Category\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td width=\"194\"><p>Short-range Ballistic missile\u00a0<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"159\"><p><strong>Launch\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Vehicule<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td width=\"194\">PrSM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"159\"><p><strong>Company<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td width=\"194\"><p>Lockheed Martin<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"159\"><p><strong>Range<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td width=\"194\"><p>499km+<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"159\"><p><strong>Launch site<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td width=\"194\">Gulf region<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4><em>Author: Michel Camelot<\/em><\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dae8f8d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dae8f8d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-55130c3\" data-id=\"55130c3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dafe2ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dafe2ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>First Look<\/h4><p>In a slideshow published on X on 1 March 2026, US CENTCOM (Central Command) gave information about the first 24 hours of operation Epic Fury.<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>9<\/strong><\/a> At the eighth second, appears a picture of a M142 Himars.

Several signs could primarily help us to respond. Firstly the armoured vehicle is in a desert, secondly its livery is sand and thirdly the pod is green as if it had been recently deployed. Therefore, it seems that the first PrSM deployment in combat is ongoing. The two pictures inserted in the slideshow seem to have been chosen thoroughly. The back of the pod is masked by the rocket smoke. This part normally enables to distinguish the type of ammunition used when the vehicle is photographed while driving.<\/p><h4>Confirmation<\/h4><p>On 4 March, on X, US CENTCOM reuses the second picture in a public briefing (4\u201903\u2019\u2019) and announced that the US Army soldiers are used to carry out surface to surface strikes.<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>10<\/strong><\/a> The speaker affirms that the US Army employed, for the first time in combat, the PrSM, which offers \u2018<em>an unrivalled deep strike capability<\/em>.\u2019 \u00a0In addition to the photo of the missile taking off, several video clips are used to illustrate the point.

But we only have two pictures of this possible launch and nothing can prove its time and its position. The PrSM has entered service roughly two years ago, and stocks could have reached 80 missiles by the end of 2025.<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>12<\/strong><\/a> Therefore several PrSM could have possibly been used against Iran. However, no battle damage assessment (BDA) has been made public and the rare footages of Himars strikes during this war seem to illustrate ATACMS launches.<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>13<\/strong><\/a> We have no way of assessing the missile\u2019s reliability, accuracy, or range. Its launch and flight profile also remain unknown. We can notice that the platform used to launch PrSM is the M142 Himars. The logistics footprint of this type of armoured vehicle is far from being a detail when such a great operation away from the homeland. Therefore the absence of available videos of the M270 is logical, as they are much heavier and harder to carry and deploy rapidly.<\/p><p>Geolocation of the launches is impossible at this stage with US CENTCOM\u2019s footages\u2019 but some launches<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>14<\/strong><\/a> or convoys<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>15<\/strong><\/a> of Himars have been observed in Bahrein by observers and posted on social networks. Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (especially against naval targets) are other possible locations of launches.<\/p><p>We should also note that U.S. Army employed deception during \u2018Epic Fury\u2019 by camouflaging ATACMS in a pod modified to look like a six rocket-pod. An unofficial video showing two such pods abandoned in the desert was posted on X on 9 February 2026. It is clearly written \u201cM57\u201d on it, the latest version of the ATACMS.<a href=\"#notes\"><strong>16<\/strong><\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c2133f7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c2133f7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6a7a0c3\" data-id=\"6a7a0c3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e81c24 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8e81c24\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nonproliferation.eu\/hcoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5-768x365.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-8855\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nonproliferation.eu\/hcoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5-768x365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nonproliferation.eu\/hcoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nonproliferation.eu\/hcoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5-1024x487.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nonproliferation.eu\/hcoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5.jpg 1386w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a744967 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a744967\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-574aceb\" data-id=\"574aceb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab709e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab709e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>That same day, US CENTCOM posted a picture of this kind of pod being loaded on Himars.

It was published by Lockheed Martin during the upgrade of the missile\u2019s older versions. The other two photos are screenshots taken from the video reportedly filmed in Kuwait. In red, we can see what appears to be the missile\u2019s umbilical cable (which transmits data from the launch platform, launch parameters to the missile, and power to the missile\u2019s batteries, which appear to be arranged on either side of the nozzle). Images of this control section were made public during the modernisation of the M39 and M39A1. In the video, the umbilical cable appears burnt and torn, as if it had been damaged during the missile\u2019s launch. In yellow, one can see the rails on which the missile appears to rest. Finally, in green, one can see charred sections, indicating a missile launch.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-562aa8c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"562aa8c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eee5902\" data-id=\"eee5902\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bc211d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1bc211d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>In sum<\/h4><p>In sum, the Iran war is certainly the first theatre where the PrSM is being deployed. It is also very probably the first use of the system in operation, after campaigns of tests in the United States and Australia. From an arms control point of view, the first use of PrSM by the United States, in parallel to the use of Oreshnik in Ukraine, symbolised the end of the attempts to regulate medium and intermediate range systems and their recognition by armed forces as conventional weapons potentially useful on the
