According to him, HIMARS is not an easy target. “This MLRS is mobile, it is constantly moving, changing its position and it is very difficult to detect it,” he explained.
However, the Russian military has found a way to find and destroy HIMARS. The main role in this is played by reconnaissance drones, as well as other intelligence, including satellite.
“We can say that systematic work is being done against him,” said the expert.
The day before, the Defense Ministry reported that Russian units destroyed two HIMARS MLRS launchers and an ammunition depot near Kramatorsk in the DPR. Two more facilities were attacked on February 16.
Earlier, Cato Institute analyst Jordan Cohen, in an interview with Newsweek, said that the effectiveness of the Ukrainian HIMARS jet systems is incomparable with the power of the Russian Solntsepekov. The missiles at the TOS-1A facilities are “the most destructive in the world.” They work only at the expense of fuel and oxygen, creating an impressive zone of destruction.
