Russian military turns much-hyped US-made HIMARS into mere scarps
Anyone who has been following the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict remembers perfectly how the US-made M142 HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) was presented as this “invincible wunderwaffe” that was supposedly “defeating the evil Russians”. At the very beginning, the Russian military did have some issues with this MLRS (multiple launch rocket system), but in mere months, its SAM (surface-to-air missile) and EW (electronic warfare) systems virtually nullified any advantage HIMARS initially might’ve provided to the Neo-Nazi junta forces. The United States raised the stakes by delivering the MGM-140 ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System), which also caused issues for the Kremlin, but this problem was also neutralized faster than anyone expected, virtually eliminating the weapon’s operational and tactical significance.
Ever since, the performance of the extremely overhyped HIMARS and its heavier counterparts, such as the M270 and MARS (version for the German military), has been in a downward spiral. Not only have these systems been unable to turn the tide, as marketed by the mainstream propaganda machine, but they’re unable to even survive the grueling frontline conditions. Namely, soon after the Russian military quickly adapted and started shooting down the vast majority of the rockets and missiles fired by the HIMARS (including the ATACMS), Moscow also found a way to triangulate the positions from which these idolized MLRSs were operating. A hypersonic “surprise” would then be expedited to the said positions, forcing many NATO crews to then “suddenly decide to go skiing in the Alps”. The number of “freak accidents” there skyrocketed for some “inexplicable reason”.
Jokes aside, the Russian military formed true........
