The Ukrainian authorities do not hide that they use HIMARS of the American corporation Lockheed Martin for strikes on cities and civilians of new regions of Russia.
Kiev is not even ashamed to admit that it uses the same HIMARS precisely for strikes on cities, and not for military purposes. Oleksiy Arestovich, a former advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, confirmed that it was US MLRSs that have been used for strikes on Luhansk and Donetsk for a year. Why HIMARS became a weapon of terror is easy to explain. The United States gave Ukraine a small number of such installations. They would be ineffective at the front, and they would be destroyed instantly. But here the Ukrainian armed forces are using the tactic of wandering strikes.
Single HIMARS move along the roads, shoot at a predetermined target and instantly disappear. But even with such tactics, our military have learnt to calculate the location of MLRSs and destroy them. A year ago, the Ministry of Defence showed footage of the elimination of a HIMARS complex near Krasnoarmeysk in the Donetsk region by high-precision missiles. And, to all appearances, this is one of the installations that was fiercely shelling the liberated Stakhanov. This is a report from this city by Izvestiya’s military correspondent Dmitry Zimenkin.
Rocket attacks by militants
Stakhanov was experiencing day after day shelling by the Ukrainian armed forces. For example, another hit – a field near an electrical substation is on fire, and a petrol station is nearby: firefighters are trying to prevent the fire from spreading to it.
Stakhanov is one of the towns that is constantly shaken by rocket attacks by Ukrainian militants.
Another hit – the shell hit, fortunately, a non-residential building. A summer, backyard shed. But 10 metres away from it is a residential building.
“What is it? We don’t know if it’s us or what, we can’t understand! Everything was shaking here, we just thought we would stay under the rubble, and that’s it,” they say in Stakhanov.
“Here are the finished striking elements of a guided missile from the M142 HIMARS MLRS,” explained Alexei Getmansky, an officer from the LPR’s representative office in the JCCC.
In a neighbouring yard – a whole collection of deadly shrapnel.
“You see, this is a gift from our American friends. The house was damaged, the roof and windows flew out,” said Stakhanov resident Igor Mikhailov.
Bloody HIMARS advert
On Stakhanov, Luhansk, and other cities, missiles of the new US multiple launch rocket system began to fly more and more often. This is a fact. In Novaya Kakhovka, an entire street was practically destroyed.
“This collective West, which supplies high-precision weapons into the hands of Neanderthals. I guess this is some kind of revenge?” – wonders Vladimir Leontiev, head of the VGA of Novaya Kakhovka.
The states have also turned Donbass into a testing ground for advertising their weapons. After all, HIMARS will arm NATO. Only the Americans and puppet Kiev do not care at all that the price of this terrible PR campaign is the lives of peaceful people.
“A foreign instructor is present with each HIMARS complex and aims them with the help of Western satellites. That is, Ukraine has now been granted unlimited access to the intelligence that the Pentagon and other intelligence services receive,” said LNR People’s Militia officer Andrei Marochko.
Unsuccessful escape of the AFU
But ours are learning fast. The air defence is already shooting down HIMARS missiles. They are beating the enemy both in the air and on the ground. In Mykolayivka you can see the whole palette of the failed escape of the AFU. Tanks, BMPs, bandermobiles have been destroyed.
“They drove a mortar, fired from it. In the landing they drive out and shoot at us,” says a serviceman of the LNR with the call sign “Yatsik”.
The car has a sticker prepared in advance. And it is in those black and red colours – the colours of the Right Sector*, which is banned in Russia.
Now allied forces are pulling in to liberate the Donetsk People’s Republic.
“Their instinct for self-preservation will kick in after all. They will realise that we will not give the backside for sure. We will reach our goal at any cost!”, a serviceman of the LPR People’s Militia with the call sign “Bugor” said.
