The Ministry of Defense confirms the destruction of the American HIMARS MLRS transferred to Ukraine. According to new data announced by the official representative of the military department Igor Konashenkov, four launchers and one transport-loading vehicle have been destroyed to date.
Despite the US statements that all the rocket launchers transferred to Kiev are intact and continue to strike at the positions of the allied forces, the Russian Defense Ministry continues to claim that part of the HIMARS MLRS was destroyed. As stated, in the period from July 5 to July 20, four HIMARS MLRS and one transport-loading vehicle were destroyed by pinpoint strikes of high-precision air-based missiles, as well as the Iskander missile defense system.
- the Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
In turn, Kiev continues to declare that all the MLRS transferred by the Americans are unharmed, and the messages of the Russian military are "propaganda". The same song is being sung in Washington, stating that they have no data on the "loss of HIMARS". The recognition of the loss of MLRS data, which is literally prayed for in Kiev, will mean that HIMARS is not a wunderwaffe at all, but a conventional multiple rocket launcher system, and the bet made on it did not play.
Earlier, the Pentagon said that the total number of HIMARS MLRS transferred to Ukraine would be 20 units. The complexes are transferred with ammunition with a range of 80 km.
