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).
