Russia claims it destroyed HIMARS launcher used in attack on Kursk region
The Russian defence ministry released a video on Thursday (August 15) which it said shows the destruction of HIMARS launcher in the Sumy region of Ukraine moments after it was used in attack on Russia’s Kursk region.
The video shows a HIMARS launcher firing two missiles towards the Kursk region in Russia from Ukraine’s Sumy region. The launcher then drives away at speed and finds cover in a wooded area. The Russian observation drone follows the HIMARS launcher, and soon after, there is a massive explosion and a ball of flames as the HIMARS unit is hit.

Another fake video 😂😂
Fake😂😂😂we cant see any himars in video
American bots don't believe again
Video cuts to a different area then an explosion, how gullible can people be
Believe us! Theres a himars in there!
😢
It's likely that Russia had destroyed 6 out of 39 HIMARS if their reports are to be believed but the US had pledged 40 more. But Ukraine also has 20 M270 ATACMS launchers that have a much further range, but they aren't allowed to use those ones against Russian territory. If they were allowed to then it would mean that they could keep their HIMARS in the Donbass where they are less vulnerable.
In terms of cost, the export cost of a HIMARS system and missiles is $20,000,000. Meaning that 6 lost units is approximately $120,000,000 of losses. However the cost really isn't the issue, the issue is convincing the US to send more.
The 'second best army in the world' continues to scrape the barrel
Islander missile
According Russia this was a tank 5 days ago… it's the same video and now it's a Himar 😂😂😂
#Putler was warned to leave Ukraine alone.
Ukraine is amazing! 💙
That’s too bad but probably fake if it was released by Russia
They never say "claims" when it's Ukraine saying it 😂
"russia claims" then fake.
Not himars.
Himars does not have a concave back to the cabin, on himars this would be flat.
On top of that, himars has a flat front, a a completely different top to its launches.
Feel free to literally google any and all angles of the himars system, ruzzia seriously needs to up its game.
Video of himars goes from both side of the area with tall bushes to just 1 side bushes only with explosions. I don’t believe Russians fake media. And the video cuts. 😂
Uraa 🇷🇺🇮🇳
Again 😂
I'm so confused…why english media showing that kind of videos?
Cool explosion but that’s not a HIMARS.
Even if, we can easily justify our few losses for freedom.
On the other hand is a nation on the brink of total collapse, acting like this would change anything.
Si la información es real es una pena para Ucrania que haya perdido esos equipos
That was fake, it means Himars was also damaged.
two different cuts for two different videos, put Russia claiming this was everything under the sun. They didn't destroy Jack sht, they've even been caught trying to claim some of Ukraine's videos as their own LOL!! like yeah sure Ukraine's running around with Russian flags and letter z on their tanks lol how dumb can they be to think we would believe that, they think we don't have eyes to see.
uraa Russia
Of course tax payer money! As my family starves and illegals eat at a buffet! Go America u F@@k!
Strangely the tracks in the field do not match after the video is spliced.🧐
Russian (lying): we've destroyed a Himars!
USA: alright, we'll send more to Ukraine.
Russia: task failed successfully
Thanks for releasing the video Russia. Lmao!
Ukrainian intelligence would have killed for this video to see how if was identified and how to prevent this in the future. But Russia gives it for free!!!!!

Don't forget to put the telegram link in your description next time
We can't put the link because YouTube doesn't like Telegram
Looks like those shovels with washing machine chips are pretty accurate.
Nelle immagini non è un Himars
