How HIMARS in Ukraine destroys all Russian logistics

Himars is already in action in Ukraine/ Himars destroyed more then 20 strategic targets. Missiles himars can strike up to 300 km. HIMARS, the American Multiple Rocket Launcher System! It is these machines that are destined to completely change the course of the war in Ukraine. Now I will show you how it will happen, but first, a few key features of the HIMARS, which is vastly superior to its Russian counterpart, the Uragan. First, the HIMARS can strike at distances of up to 80 kilometers. These are the types of projectiles that were provided to Ukraine by the U.S. at this stage of the war. In comparison, the similar Russian system called “Uragan“ fires only at a distance of 40 kilometers. Secondly, the HIMARS shoot very accurately. So accurately that the projectile can hit a chimney hole on the roof of a house. Navigation is carried out using a satellite system similar to GPS, while the Russian “Uragan“ can deviate from the target by several hundred meters and is guided by a drone, which can be shot down. Analysts have also calculated that one salvo of six HIMARS missiles is equal to 700 shots of the Russian artillery. That is, Russia needs to fire 700 shots to destroy, for example, one Ukrainian command post. HIMARS can do it with one salvo of six missiles. Third, the HIMARS is very light, mobile, and fast to use. It can move at 90 kilometers per hour, and the reload time of the ammunition is 5 minutes. The team consists of only 3 people and they have an armored protected cabin. Russia, of course, has another counterpart to the HIMARS, the Smersh system. But it is very clumsy and heavy to use. And also the accuracy of their hits is extremely low. At long distances it can deviate from the target by more than 1 kilometer. So I won’t even talk about this in more detail. So, the main task of the HIMARS in Ukraine is to cut off the Russian front from supplies and completely destroy the logistics of the Russians. Therefore, the Ukrainians use them to hit the most strategic targets behind enemy lines. Because of their high accuracy and effectiveness, the Ukrainians don’t need to utilize too many missiles to destroy targets. Now take a look at the map. This is the front line. This is where the main forces of Russia are concentrated, and this is where the main fighting takes place. In the rear of the Russian troops there are command posts, warehouses with ammunition, repair bases, and infrastructure that supplies the troops at the front. The HIMARS can systematically destroy all this without a single miss using precise strikes and satellite data. Just a few HIMARS can cut off a 100-kilometer-long frontline from supply and control. Left without ammunition and control, the Russian troops will not be able to fight. They would be disorganized. Then Ukraine would be able to launch an offensive and break through the Russian defenses. In fact, the HIMARS will completely change the nature of this war. The Russians will have to completely overhaul their strategy, tactics, and logistics, if they are capable of doing so. Russia will no longer be able to fight as intensely as it used to. There are already four HIMARS working in Ukraine. They are the ones we see in these shots right now. But in the coming months there could be dozens of them already. Imagine what will happen then. Thanks to these four HIMARS, Ukraine has already been able to destroy more than 20 large ammunition depots and several command posts, as well as destroying the Russian military base at the Melitopol airfield. But the more HIMARS there are, the faster Ukraine will be able to prepare for an offensive. I think that when Ukraine gets at least 20 of these vehicles, it will be ready for an offensive. Most likely at the first stage the Ukrainians will start liberating their southern territories and approach Crimea. Then the eastern part of Ukraine will be liberated. I think that over time, Ukraine will gain a tangible advantage over Russia due to precise modern weapons and will begin the offensive. Let’s wait for that moment and see!
