On October 5, various military sources posted a video showing the destruction of yet another grossly overhyped and exorbitantly overpriced HIMARS MLRS (multiple launch rocket system). The camouflaged US-made system was positioned in the settlement of Sredniy Burluk, Kharkov oblast (region). The exact coordinates were 49.8948923°N, 37.3074407°E. It was hit by the 9M723 hypersonic missile of the 9K720M “Iskander-M” system, now almost a customary sight across the battlefield as the Russian military keeps improving its already impressive ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) and long-range precision strike capabilities.

Namely, in the last several months alone, the Kremlin has been tremendously successful in locating and neutralizing all types of rocket and missile systems used by the Kiev regime. In addition to the aforementioned HIMARS (as previously indicated, now a regular occurrence), Moscow keeps destroying other long-range systems used by the Neo-Nazi junta forces, including its domestic developments, such as the “Neptune” and “Sapsan” (the former is a copy of the Soviet-era Kh-35 cruise missile, while the latter is effectively a less advanced copy of the “Iskander”). Although initially presented as a NATO “wunderwaffe” that would “turn the tide”, the HIMARS never lived up to such expectations.

Namely, except in the mainstream propaganda machine’s microcosm, HIMARS has been quite ineffective after a short initial success. So far, dozens of units have been destroyed by the Russian military, mostly by “Iskanders”, although MLRSs such as the “Tornado-S” were also used (a heavily modernized variant of the legendary Soviet-era BM-30 “Smerch”). Worse yet for the Neo-Nazi junta and its NATO overlords, there were even cases when drones hit HIMARS launchers. By August, various sources posted footage confirming the........
