missile systems. david martin has more on that. >> reporter: it's been a standard, largely up noticed, part of the american military arsenal for decades. but when himars, high-mobility artillery rocket systems, showed up in ukraine, it changed the face of battle. >> this capability has given ukrainians the potential to completely change the momentum and the direction of this war. >> reporter: retired lieutenant general ben hodges, former commander of the u.s. army in europe, says himars, which fires a 200-pound warhead up to 50 miles and hits within ten feet of its intended target, has virtually eliminated russia's numerical advantage. >> you don't have to have hundreds of artillery rounds to achieve the same effect as one rocket fired from himars. >> is ukraine still outgunned? >> in numbers, i'd say yes. but what really matters is effect.

and the effect that ukrainians achieve seems to me at this point to be superior to what the russians are able to deliver. >> reporter: since june, the u.s. has shipped ukraine 16 himars launchers and thousands of rockets, which defense officials say the ukrainians have used to attack more than 350 russian command posts, ammo dumps, supply depots, and other high-value targets far back from the front lines. >> the himars and other long-range capabilities have given the ukrainians the ability to reach out and hit targets that the russians would have thought were safe. >> reporter: why can't they just move all these command posts and ammo dumps further back from the front line and get them out of range? >> you've still got to get that ammunition to the guns, which are closer to the front. now you've increased the distance that the trucks have to

move, carrying very heavy ammunition. and they've lost well over 1,000 of their trucks in this campaign so far. and of course, the result is significant reduction in the amount of russian artillery and rocket fire, impacting on ukrainian forces. >> reporter: all that from a weapon made atocd in plan rur ot americst military industrial complex which is now racing to catch up with the sudden demand for himars. we accompanied the pentagon's chief weapons buyer, dr. william la plant, as he made plans to dramatically increase production. >> we have to plan for at least double this. production here probably will be double. >> how long can you keep that up? >> as long as demand is there, 30 years. >> the pentagon said, probably going to double production. can you double production?

>> absolutely. >> reporter: chief operating officer frank st. john says the plant is currently turning out about 7,500 rockets a year. >> we have capacity to produce 10,000 rockets a year. that's a rocket every 10 minutes if you do the math on that. and we're also doing similar analysis to potentially take to up to 12,000 or 14,000 rockets a year. >> how fast can you do this? >> i would say on the order of 18 to 24 months to make any significant changes in the production quantities. >> reporter: the nose cone carries a satellite guidance system which gives the rocket its sniper-like accuracy. but what impresses la plant most about himars is not the sophistication of its technology, but the simplicity of its use. >> there are just three operators. probably 18 to 20 years old. they can use this, they can use it effectively within a week. okay, that is to me as important as its accuracy. it's reliable and can be done by

18-year-old ukrainians. >> reporter: to see how. when himars operate in the field, we went to the u.s. army training range in yakima, washington. they use the same tactics taught to the ukrainians. this is where the himars tries to conceal itself from enemy surveillance. once it leaves here for its firing point, the himars is liable to be detected ask targeted. so the clock starts ticking. the himars launcher has a top speed of 55 miles an hour, but offroad in the high desert, more like 35 miles per hour. out in the open, it has five to seven minutes to find its firing position, train its rockets on the target, and fire. one rocket every few seconds. the crew chief of this himars is staff sergeant cammy white. how did you guys do? >> we did well. >> what does that mean, well? >> whenever we get a "fire when

ready" it's as fast as we can fire. with that i think our time was around three minutes. >> three minutes from the time you got the mission until the time the rockets took off? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: when the himars fires, the rocket exhaust gives away its position. so it has to get out of there fast before the enemy can strike back. how long do you have to get out? >> oh, as quickly as possible. >> how long does that take? >> roughly a minute. >> reporter: it's called "shoot and scoot." the ukrainians are doing it now in their counteroffensive against russian forces occupying kherson. making the most of the 16 himars provided by the u.s. 16 just doesn't sound like a lot. >> it's nowhere near what i think ukraine could use. i mean, look at the effect they've achieved with 16. imagine if they had three or four times that many. >> that, again, was david martin reporting. as the taliban tightens its grip on afghanistan, many of the country's journalists have

either left the country or quit their jobs. it turns out some of those positions are being filled by women, with few other employment options. mts tyab spent the day at the leading tv channel and filed this report. >> reporter: female journalists forced to cover their faces on tv. reports censored. reporters threatened. according to the committee to protect journalists, the taliban is strangling afghanistan's once-free press. tolo tv launched in 2004 with the slogan "a breath of fresh air," famous for its objective and often critical reporting of the former government, the u.s., and the taliban. today, it's struggling to breathe. since the taliban's takeover, over 40% of afghanistan's news channels have closed and nearly two-thirds of all journalists have either left the country or quit the industry altogether. many of them women. director of news sapai says

despite pressure from the taliban, the channel remains objective. you say that you were optimistic at the beginning. one year on, are you still optimistic about press freedom? >> not as i was at the very beginning. still, i hope that it will get better slowly. >> reporter: as toto-tv slowly tries to rebuild itself in the taliban's afghanistan, it's doing something unexpected. many of the vacant jobs left by those who fled are being filled by women. the channel now has double the number who worked for it before the takeover. including new recruits wahida and her camera operator. we followed them on the streets of kabul, interviewing people about the story they're working on about the difficulties in obtaining international travel visas. you started your career when the taliban took over afghanistan? >> yes, yeah. >> what made you make this decision?

>> because now it is millions of girls can't go to school, women can't go to their offices for work. so media is the only option for women who can work in afghanistan. so i want to work here, give hope to them. >> it's such an extraordinary thing you're doing, but it feels like a very brave thing to do. do you feel brave? >> i think so. we are trying to raise afghan media. we want to work. we don't have options. >> reporter: but those voices are increasingly being silenced as the taliban grip on afghanistan tightens. mts tyab, kabul, afghanistan.
