“There are several important points in the destruction of HIMARS by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
First, the place of destruction.
The launcher of the American M142 MLRS was covered along with its crew and escort in the Nikanorovka area (Dobropolsky district of the DPR).
The location of the failed launch is less than 40 km from the front line,” the statement says.
Secondly, 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 was used.
“Thirdly, this is not the first time that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have moved scarce Western-made MLRS closer to the LBS.
Apparently, such MLRS are increasingly used as long-range artillery to deter the Russian Armed Forces in the Avdeevsky direction.
In addition, it is worth noting that the defeat occurs at the moment when the HIMARS crew is preparing to fire and is clearly not expecting an attack,” writes Military Chronicle.
Separately, the material notes that the reconnaissance and strike contour of the Russian Armed Forces, with the help of which they actively hit the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, continues to work for its intended purpose.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the destruction of another American Abrams tank in the Avdeevsky direction.
