During the last 24-hour period, the Russian Armed Forces delivered a massive strike by precision weapons against US-made HIMARS multiple rocket launchers prepared for delivering strikes on the territory of Crimea, and also against a Ukrainian military command’s meeting place. The goals of the strike were achieved. The strike destroyed four US-made HIMARS rocket launchers and up to 35 foreign specialists servicing these systems," the ministry said in a statement.
https://tass.com/politics/1814677I watch all the russian stuff getting blown up aswell but I also watch Ukrainian stuff getting blown up. Balance is key here because you start to lose focus of the bigger picture. I'm a big fan boy of western tech but we gave Ukrainians hand-me-downs and the Russians are starting to pick them off with ease.
A HIMAR launcher costs about 3mil. The ammunition probably cost more so that's a decent hit.
How many can you verify or quote a source verifying how many have been destroyed?
To my knowledge Ukraine have lost 6. Even if its double that.
It's a drop in the ocean. And hardly supports your claim.
Correct in that Ukraine has nothing close to the level of tech, the volume or level of combined arms support that NATO itself has.
I chuckle when ofthevoid says Russia is somehow a match because Ukraine is taking losses.
And that somehow scales up to a NATO vs Russia confrontation.
It's chalk and cheese.
Not to mention the equipment that has been provided to Ukraine has helped them prevent Russia completing anything close to their miltary objectives.
This was a reality check for the Russian military. NATO equipment has been tested against a (supposedly) near peer adversary and its a boon for miltary strategists and arms manufacturers
