The United States has launched new M270A2 volley fire systems in Europe: strengthen the defense against the Armed Forces (photo)

This event occurs against the backdrop of escalation of tensions with the Russian Federation caused by war in Ukraine, where the efficiency of earlier versions of the RSSU was clearly demonstrated. The 41st Field Artillery Brigade is the first unit of the US Army to completely switched to an advanced M270A2 volley fire system, which replaced the outdated M270A1 platforms. M270A2 modernization reflects lessons elongated from the deployment and use of earlier M270 systems in the war in Ukraine.

Compared to M270A1, M270A2, there is a more powerful engine of 600 hp, which provides greater mobility and allows you to change the position on the battlefield faster. The new armored cabin provides improved crew protection against indirect fire and other threats. One of the most prominent updates is M270A2 compatibility with next generation ammunition, such as Precision Strike Missile (PRSM).

These ammunition greatly increases the range of lesions and allow the targets up to 500 km with unsurpassed accuracy. This opportunity provides a decisive advantage in long -range battles and makes M270A2 a key component of the US Army Army Front Strategy. M270A2 solves the operational problems of earlier versions of the RSSU used in Ukraine. M270 demonstrated their effectiveness in accurate blows for valuable purposes - they violated Russian supply lines and attacked team centers.

However, the old systems were limited by slower means. Modernization in M270A2 directly eliminate these restrictions. The system can work effectively in controversial conditions, where rapid maneuverability and survival are crucial. The 41st Field Artillery Brigade has already used the new M270A2 during Dynamic Front 25 exercises in November 2024. M270A2 is expected to be adopted by NATO Allies, including Germany and the United Kingdom.
