Military Chronicle analyzed the destruction of HIMARS of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Nikanorovka area. The launcher of the American M142 MLRS was covered along with its crew and escort.

The dense fragmentation field and the height of the missile detonation indicate that, presumably, an Iskander OTRK aeroballistic missile or one of the newest rockets for the Tornado-S MLRS were used. Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the destroyed of another American Abrams tank in the Avdeevsky direction.
