First HIMARS destroyed

defence24.pl 8 months ago
Some time ago, a video appeared showing a Ukrainian M142 HIMARS being fired by a Russian BM-30 or Tornado-S multi-track rocket launcher. As a result, the vehicle was disabled from combat, but most likely only temporarily and after repair it will return to combat.
This time, however, we see evidence of irretrievable loss, in the form of, among others, secondary explosions of rocket ammunition placed in a transport and launch container. In addition to the launcher itself, 2 another vehicles are visible in the place captured by the Russian drone, of which at least 1 most likely managed to escape the full incident. Thus, we have the first visual confirmation of the failure by the Ukrainian army of the HIMARS rocket strategy ([at least 2 were damaged] (https://defence24.pl/wojna-na-ukrainie-raport-specjalny-defence24/pierwsze-uszkodzenia-himars-ow-potwierdzone)), of which about 20 units have been delivered to it so far (another 18-19 are in the production phase).
