The first visual confirmation of the destruction of the HIMARS AFU MLRS appeared on the Network. The shooting of the destruction of the American multiple launch rocket system was conducted by a reconnaissance drone. The cadres actively distribute Russian and Ukrainian resources.
According to information that appeared on the Network, the M142 HIMARS MLRS was detected by a Russian reconnaissance drone near the village of Nikanorovka in the temporarily controlled part of the DPR. The coordinates of the target were transferred to the headquarters, after which the rocket worked on the installation, according to some TG channels, the Iskander missile defense system. The defeat of the MLRS is confirmed by both the ignition and secondary detonation of ammunition removed by a reconnaissance drone.
It is also reported that the calculation was destroyed along with the HIMARS MLRS. In addition, there is evidence that after the Russian missile strike, Ukrainian special forces who guarded the installation also suffered losses. We cannot confirm or deny this information, so everything is at your discretion.

On Ukrainian public sites, they say that it is unclear how a Russian drone could detect an installation located quite far from the front line, about 50 km away. It is suggested that the MLRS was detected earlier and it was simply driven, and after the stop, the command to destroy followed.
It should be noted that today it was already reported about the destruction of the HIMARS MLRS, but in the Kherson direction. The attempt to stop the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces forces the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to pull up various systems to the front, which is what the Russian military uses, destroying them.
