How Ukraine uses HIMARS in counterattack against Russians
Ukraine has been using American HIMARS missile systems for more than two months. During this time, the Ukrainian military managed to deal an irreparable damage to Russian logistics, effectively stopping the advance of Russian troops. Hundreds of ammunition depots were destroyed. Thousands of tons of shells and rockets were blown up. Hundreds of Russian headquarters and command posts were destroyed. Supply chains have been hit hard. And eventually, the Ukrainians destroyed the bridges over the Dnipro River near Kherson, leaving more than 20, 000 Russian troops trapped without supplies. HIMARS has become the most terrible demoralizing weapon that the Russian soldiers are afraid of and cannot sleep peacefully. And, of course, HIMARS plays a key role in the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south. The Ukrainians go on the counteroffensive, and the Russians go on the defensive. We are seeing a strategic turning point in Ukraine. All that became possible thanks to a few HIMARS.
