HIMARS fires which weapons?

HIMARS fires which weapons?

• A. M270 artillery rockets and anti-aircraft missiles
• B. M777 howitzer rounds
• C. Patriot missiles
• D. Tomahawk missiles

Answer: (A)

HIMARS is a rocket artillery system designed to launch the same family of missiles as the M270 launcher. It fires M270 artillery rockets (the MLRS rockets) and can also launch MGM-140 ATACMS missiles, giving it both rocket-based and missile-based surface-to-surface fire options. It does not operate as a gun system or rely on air-defense missiles, and it does not launch Tomahawk cruise missiles. So mentioning M270 artillery rockets aligns with what HIMARS actually fires, making that option the best fit.
