PrSM Missile Raises Civilian Safety Concerns | Hattiesburg News

The U.S. military’s new Precision Strike Missile, touted as a game-changer in long-range warfare, may have just had its most controversial debut — a deadly strike in Iran’s Lamerd that killed at least 21 civilians, including children, with explosions that spread shrapnel over 50 meters. While the Pentagon confirms firing PrSMs into Iran but denies involvement in the Lamerd attack, experts say the missile’s signature — tens of thousands of high-speed pellets detonating midair — matches the damage seen in videos and photos. Satellite imagery shows no military target hit, raising questions about intent. Despite global allies investing billions to scale up production, experts warn the weapon’s destructive reach makes it dangerously unsuitable for use near civilians — a warning that may go unheeded as the U.S. pushes ahead with deployment.
