Afghanistan: US used High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) to hit Taliban drug dens

(Kabul) On Sunday past the US took out 8 Taliban drug dens , the statement offered on Monday was US air-strikes took them out, and for the vast majority aircraft using small diameter bombs did just that. However it has now been revealed that on one site the US used the land based High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS)  aka MLRS on wheels.


Whilst this isn't the first time HIMARS has been used in theatre, it shows that the US (In conjunction with the Afghan Government)  is willing to take the war back to the likes of the Taliban, who have grown somewhat bolder under the previous administrations of both countries.
