Russian state media RT and Forbes website author David Ax reported on the 5th that after two years of hard work, the Russian army finally destroyed a U.S. high-mobility artillery rocket system (HIMARS, referred to as HIMARS) in eastern Ukraine. hippocampus). Some netizens said on the social media “Paper Plane” that this was the first clear image of the Haima system being destroyed.
According to RT and images taken by reconnaissance drones circulating on the Internet, the Haimas launcher was reported to be more than 40 kilometers away from the front line, near the town of Dobropolye in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. Was destroyed.
It can be seen from the video that the Russian side discovered the Haimas launcher and two other Ukrainian military vehicles on the edge of a forest, and was obviously preparing to open fire. The unidentified missile then hit the area, causing the ammunition stockpile to explode and the missiles to be launched uncontrolled, causing multiple fires and then completely destroying the launcher itself.
It is unclear whether the Ukrainian soldiers were killed or injured, and there is no clear information indicating what kind of weapons the Russian army deployed. RT claimed that it was a guided munition launched by the Russian Tornado-S multiple rocket launch system, while Ike believed that it might be a land-launched extreme sonic Iskander missile.
In addition, Ike also pointed out that it is unknown why the Haimas launcher was idling in an open area in broad daylight. The Ukrainian Army’s only Haimas unit, the 27th Rocket Artillery Brigade, usually operates at dawn or dusk, and launchers that are not performing launch tasks also remain mobile or in shelters.
Ike also wrote that in any case, this incident was a tragic loss for the Ukrainian army, and a rare counter-artillery victory for the Russian army. He pointed out that the Russian army had basically failed to counter the US-made Seamaster system before, but the combination of long-range reconnaissance drones and fast-moving Iskander launchers seemed to have finally defeated the Ukrainian Seamaster force.
