RT reported that on July 22, the Russian Ministry of Defense shared a video showing that another US HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system supplied to Ukraine was destroyed in a ballistic missile attack.
A reconnaissance drone discovered HIMARS and a hangar in the village of Novopetrovka, Nikolayev region of Ukraine.
The Russian military announced that this position was hit by a ballistic missile fired by the Iskander-M system, adding that HIMARS was destroyed.
Drone footage of the attack showed the hangar destroyed, with a secondary explosion, perhaps in the launcher's ammunition magazine, at the scene.
The Russian military has been continuously hunting for high-value Ukrainian assets, including HIMARS . Over the past few weeks, multiple launchers of this type have reportedly been destroyed, with several attacks recorded in videos released by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
HIMARS launchers have long been touted by Ukraine as long-range, high-precision weapons optimal for attacking high-value Russian assets such as command posts or ammunition depots.
However, Moscow accuses Kiev of regularly using these systems to conduct indiscriminate attacks on Russian territory , including on civilian targets.
