@Formulka They can be directed at different targets.

Then the code needs approval. Then the systems need to be brought out of the frontline to have their systems replaced and re-checked.

Air superiority but still they can't prosecute. They launch air dropped missiles from Belarus/Russian airspace or hug the ground and use rocket lofting.

If it's unguided, it could land on civilian homes by accident. The idea is good, but it should have some kind of way to either crash safety, self-destruct, etc.

@egelpom8948 The problem is that at such longer ranges and speeds (because it has to mimic HIMARS) the spread of the rockets increases when they're unguided. The problem isn't even civilian areas, it's how even aiming at an empty field can destroy some farmer's house or even start a brush fire during the summer.

@egelpom8948 Yes, but the unguided rockets have comparatively shorter range. It's like a shotgun, shoot someone across a hall, the pattern is fist-sized. Shoot at someone 100 yards away, most of the pellets miss. If you fire unguided rockets at the range they're meant for, you get some accuracy despite the dispersion. If you fire an unguided rocket at the distance HIMARS reaches to make a convincing decoy, it's probably gonna go off course. If you watch amateur rocketry videos, people spend a lot of time trying to make really good rockets but when they're fired they end up becoming unstable or at least spinning out. Making a stable rocket cheaply is pretty hard. At some point adding some kind of rudimentary guidance would be worth it.
