But they managed to catch one on drone camera. Success!
Impressive record! Shows what can happen if western equipment is used well.
It is also very encouraging to see UA armor tactics moving away from Russian-style “close assault” armored storm tactics. Instead UA is using Bradleys and other IFV autocannons more for rapid remote precision direct fire support, suppression and interdiction rather than costly Russian “Cossack charge” style “point blank tank” armor tactics.
For a nation in Ukraine’s position, sustaining and preserving equipment while causing maximum damage to the enemy is absolutely vital.
Safer to be stationed in a UAF HIMARS than taking the bicycle to work.
Just saw an article preview (didn’t click) this morning that Russia *finally* got one of the HIMARS launchers. Lol. It was grouped with articles about Russia losing their fancy new anti-arty system. Russia just planting articles.
Well, to be fair to Russians, destroying one was a possibility once.
Remember when they destroyed that HIMARS on the third story of a building somehow?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Thank goodness. Now that we know Ukraine can take good care of HIMARS <3 we should send them more.
That’s really amazing. They can bomb apartment blocks and hospitals, but in almost two years, they haven’t got even one of 39 important targets. Ukraine is winning
I swear they destroyed one, oh right, a wooden replica
They claim to have destroyed more than Ukraine actually has though, so maybe the US should indulge Russia and send replacements.
My suggestion: give them 39 more, so Russia has a chance
Its because they aren’t shaped like apartment buildings, shopping malls or hospitals. Shrewed design decision by Lockheed!
Well Vladimir Putin told me they had destroyed over 1600 HIMARS systems!
And then he stole my toilet!
They’ll break down from wear and tear before these goons can get their shit together to destroy a single one.
Let’s provide munitions with say, 500mi range, park them around Kharkiv, point north and see what happens
This is unfair on the orcs send Ukraine another 300 with ammo to make it more likley the orcs will hit one
Shows that Russia’s “strategy” is 100% about dumping resources on the enemy and overwhelming them with human waves. Ukraine has taken out many high value targets with long range precision weapons and Russia can’t even hit one HIMARS?
Either they lack the intelligence to find targets, they lack precision, or can’t evade Ukraine’s missile defenses. Most likely all three.

Damn if that is really true then NATO should give 39 more, the performance of these things is incredible.
hey…wait a minute i thought they have taken 200 out already /s

That’s because they have destroyed 3,000 /s

That’s what the high mobility bit is for.
