On February 28, the US-Israeli joint “preemptive” attack on targets in Iran. The attacks reportedly caused over 1,000 casualties in Iran and killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The conflict has now entered its seventh day and involves several fronts in the region.

A notable element in the ongoing conflict is the first-ever use by the US of Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM), which was announced by US Central Command (CENTCOM), which is responsible for military operations in the Middle East.

With a range of up to 500 km, PrSMs (Precision Strike Missiles) significantly strengthen Washington's arsenal, replacing ATACMs.

Specifically, CENTCOM published through a post on the X platform that the PrSMs have "unparalleled strike capabilities."

The use of these missiles marks an important development for the US, foreign media write.

 

What are Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM)?

PrSMs are long-range, high-precision missile systems manufactured by the American company Lockheed Martin. The company delivered the first PrSMs to the US Army in December 2023. These missiles have a range ranging from 60 (37 miles) to 499 kilometers (310 miles) and are compatible with the MLRS M270 and HIMARS launcher systems, which were also developed by Lockheed Martin and are used by the US and UK armed forces.

The company emphasizes that PrSMs are extremely flexible and can be deployed quickly, giving armed forces the ability to respond immediately to strategic needs.
