  2. Atleast they got to fire of their payload, so there’s that atleast.
    Guessing it’s atacms, since there’s only two missile’s being fired of.

  3. Goes to show mobility doesn’t matter if enemy has surveillance. Gotta protect the skies

  7. Welp… Positive effect on target. Better send some more!

  10. Usual Russian footage, cuts galore, shows nothing concrete. Both Himars and the M270s have scatered munition pods so they can reload without driving to a major stockpile far away. For all i know, the fireworks we see could be just those pods that got struck. We have no major black smoke due to tires and other materials burning for example

  11. Bummer. But hey when you run a sawmill, you’re gonna get sawdust.

    Even HIMARS are vulnerable if their hide site is observed.

  12. Is there any failure of tactics here? Looks like they made an attempt to hide and just got unlucky they were spotted. Could they have anything different?

  13. What is driving in the last 10 seconds? They marked a Launcher and a jeep. Thing driving does not look like the jeep, looks like the launcher.

  14. Definitely not parking on the edge of the forest anymore…

  16. I should note that in the last frames of the video the movement of the truck is clearly visible. either there were several launchers in this place, or after reloading the highmars changed its location and did not come under attack.

  17. Oh god, this war has ruined my brain. Even though the video is silent, I still heard crappy music

  18. Oh, so the Russians do actually hit what they intended to hit?

    That’s interesting…Schools, Hospitals, Playgrounds, Supermarkets, Residential areas …

  19. What’s that? 2 or 3 Himars destroyed in over 2.5yrs? Take your last place victory lap russia. Lol

  21. What is the long term solution for this. Is it next gen drones that fly on a fixed scanning rout to find other surveillance drones and kill them? I imagine the technology exists but not available widely yet.

  22. Hmm we better send ten more at least. Maybe 20 just to be safe.

  23. Is this the 1st confirmed destruction of himars after two and a half years of war?

  26. Damn, so that’s a challenger and a HIMARS I’ve seen lost today.

    Hope the crews are OK.

  27. Can’t believe they aren’t protected by an Air Defense system.

  28. Would love to know the KD on what 3 HIMARS damaged / destroyed vs 100s of successful shots

  30. The IRBM / Recon Drone kill chain has been quite a combo for both sides. Shame UKR does not have the intelligence to go after Iskander (or perhaps they could if they were able to use ATACMS more freely)

  31. Is this the first confirmed HIMARS kill in 2.5 years? Not too shabby

  33. Those himars rockets got sent to their destination.. war is hitting and getting hit

  34. They barely drove away from the launch point. Defeats the whole point of mobility to protect itself.

  35. Jesus people act like it’s invincible or invisible lmfao it’s a heavy piece of machine in a field. You can not expect to not have loses when pushing a defense. 1 for Russia, but we can count for Ukraine millions of gallons of oil and munition kills due to this machine. It’s paid its self off x100 already 🤣🤣

  36. Just saw one of these on a trailer this morning on the way to work in Tucson with dark ass camouflage

  41. Hopefully the crew was not sleeping in it when it was hit. I read the survived, so I assume they were outside the blast area.
