Take a look at how it happened.SynopsisThe US Army has deployed an advanced multiple rocket launcher to Latvia as part of a multinational exercise. The M142 High Mobility Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS), or HIMARS, arrived in Latvia on September 26 to participate in the Silver Arrow 2022 exercise.
