Precision Strike Missile (PrSM)

The Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) is a long-range, surface-to-surface missile developed by the United States. It is designed to engage a variety of targets at extended ranges, enhancing the US military's strike capabilities. PrSM is newsworthy due to its reported first-time combat use in 'Operation Epic Fury' in Iran, as announced by US CENTCOM on March 6, 2026. This deployment has sparked controversy, with some weapons experts disputing the US account of the strike's origin and potential responsibility. The use of PrSM in this context highlights its growing significance as a key component of US military strategy and its potential impact on regional conflicts. The missile's deployment and the subsequent debate surrounding its use underscore the complexities and sensitivities surrounding modern warfare and the attribution of responsibility in conflict zones.
