On August 13, the Russian Ministry of Defence claimed that another US-made HIMARS launcher and a warehouse with ammunition for it were destroyed in Eastern Ukraine. So far, the Russian military reported the destruction of 7 systems supplied by US to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The HIMARS launcher and a warehouse were destroyed by the Russian airstrikes in the area of the city of Kramatorsk in the Donetsk People’s Republic which is under control of the AFU.

In total, the Pentagon promised to transfer 20 HIMARS launchers to Kiev, of which 16 have already arrived in the country. As noted by Washington, Ukraine assured that it would not use the systems for strikes on Russian territory. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of the country allowed their use for targets in Crimea.

Traffic on this section of the railway was completely blocked.

Up to 170 nationalists and 12 units of military equipment were destroyed by high-precision strikes of the Russian Aerospace Forces at the temporary deployment point of the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade near the settlement of Perezdnoye of the Donetsk People’s Republic.

Two companies of the 72nd mechanized brigade were completely destroyed by Allied forces in the area of Bakhmut.

As a result of strikes on the control points of the 66th mechanized Brigade and the armed formation Right Sector in the area of Starye Terni of the Donetsk People’s Republic, more than 100 nationalists and ten units of military equipment were destroyed.

Those launchers don’t look expensive.. I think the trick is to put a box of Himars in place at the right time and the right spot.

It appears like the RF forces are now satisfied with what they have achieved by carving an area along its immediate border with Ukraine to serve as buffer zones boostering its defence line, clearly a faulty strategy bcoz that made Zelensky comfortable in Kiev with the absence of strong pressure to accept the Russian terms of peace agreement, and actually emboldened the comedian and NATO to escalate their deluded desire aiming to reclaim “Ukrainian territorial lands” including Donbass & Crimea. SMO should have covered the entire Ukraine and not limited itself to small patches of land adjacent to the border, once a firm control after victory is established, Moscow could start returning the territory based on mutually agreed settlement.

That also explains why SF community is so frustrated about the conduct of RF forces shifting into a limited REACTIONARY stance instead of speedy marching straight up all the way to kiev, that was viewed by ukroNATOnazis as weakness on the part of Russia, a situation where an easier task of denazification has to change into a much complex mission of deNATOsization.

The bear was only toying with its prey bcoz if it’s serious enough, Odessa would be a top priority to completely seal and fully control what’s coming in & out of Ukraine. A limited SMO is a big mistake and must be substituted with a full military takeover to achieve the Russian objectives.

That is a misconception, what you are seeing is the systematic destruction of battalion after battalion of ukrainian forces, soon there won’t be enough to protect kiev, the goal is to remove ukraine from nato ‘s grasp and negate any possibility of nato missile systems being deployed on ukrainian territory, the statements by Lavrov and others for the past fortnight is the operational parameters will expand until the ability of kiev to attack civilian centers is ended,i believe this will include the black sea coast and a border with Transnistria,meanwhile nato weapon supplies are dwindling and nato is not in a financial position to restock, one of the Russian side missions, to reduce the ability of nato to wage war, and for what its worth the idea of fast moving rapid successful wars are impossible without large civilian casualties something Russia is against so don’t expect that to happen anytime soon, when the ukrainian forces collapse there will be a steady approach to kiev until they have no alternative but to plead terms and that will be the end of the denazification process,I suspect that as area’s are liberated that they wil reunification with the motherland, a recent conversation with an territorial administrator indicated as much he listed a long list of territories already discussing such a move,Russia will then begin the legal process against those accused of war crimes and those responsable for the attacks on civilians, will the clown be there? probably not,he’ll be in france or occupied palestine america won’t entertain such a vile piece of trash.after that i would expect the baltic nutjobs will demand Russia’s stringent attention, glad i’m not there.

I am very happy with RF progress instead of frustrated because it mean RF diminished they loss to minimum ,the same time inflicted maximum loss to Ukraine side ,i think RF strategy is bomb a little but long period.

Well it is now obvious that Moscow’s another objective is to carve a landscape along its immediate border to create a buffer zone boostering the defence line, just like what Erdogan is attempting to achieve in Syria. That’s why the Kremlin named it as (LIMITED) SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION, without further escalatory intention but to convince everyone to accept that its newly created buffer zone is permanent.

helen

Russia needs to create a buffer zone (like Turkey did in Syria) with a depth of hundreds of kms and make it a “no man’s land zone”. Because now the people living in the lands it controls since March are under bombardment, and they’ll continue to be if they border Ukraine.

It’s expensive because Lockheed martin has the politicians and decision makers in the pentagon in their pocket and they are paid not to question the price. HIMARS capabilities come for satellite systems which Americans also pay a premium for. Fire control is the ability of the weapons software to communicate with assets like satellites and compute a fire solution …. a modem and a computer with the processing power of a good pocket calculator to calculate fire solutions … maybe it’s the fancy touch screen that’s worth $$$ millions ?… or the big round tires that make the H (High mobility) in HIMARS is worth millions? Perhaps some salesman at Lockheed Martin convinced US politicians that the $$$ Million dollar upgrade to round tires from square ones was worth a $ million or two?

HINDOT KABAYO

Yes HB, thank you for affirmation of what’s playing in my mind all along that the politicians including the penta-goons are directly connected to MIC diverting massive taxpayers money into their pockets by using the crisis as premise to transfer weapons to the Ukrainian victims of Russian aggression, in which profit and commissions are made in a shady manner without oversight of the transaction.

The Americunt deadbeat losers are wasting billions in Ukraine for nothing. WINTER IS COMING and if anyone even knows an iota about Russian military history is that in cold frigid conditions the Red Army is invincible. The Uki Nazi faggots can’t even move an inch forward and are losing ground every day and are hardly expected to fight in freezing conditions when there is no cover to hide under. The joint Russo-Persian satellite now has total live time coverage of Ukraine and with new drones, the Uki Nazis will be toast.

The Ukrainians can barely use the HIMARS effectively, yet along try to devise fakes.

troy

It could be a decoy, as Ukraine has long fooled so many people playing the decoy of a freedom-loving democracy aspiring to the EU values that the EU itself ignores as it suits it, so ukrops do have some expertise in the art of decoying.

Disinfo

I think the Russians have been able to adjust their PANTIR Anti-aircraft / missile systems to adjust for the HIMARS speed and low altitude trajectory. This is not good news for the US/NATO militaries since the HIMARS is an integral part of all their wargames scenarios. All that is left is for them to capture a whole HIMARS and its missiles.

Himars don’t have any noticeable effectiveness on Russian artillery power. It looks like Russia learned how to counter these weapons, of course anyone with basic military knowledge knew, that it’s nothing more than a rocket launcher. Ukraine had hundreds of similar systems prior to the war.

This would be the seventh they are sure of,there has been a lot of warehouse attacks since their arrival but its not like nato will confess all that’s not what liars do but here is todays tally for all those poor informed trolls in london. “As a result of the offensive actions of the allied forces, the settlement of Peski in the Donetsk People’s Republic has been completely liberated, as a result of strikes by high-precision long-range sea-and land-based missiles, as well as multiple launch rocket systems, on enemy reserves in the area of the Gavrilovka railway station in the Kharkiv region, more than 70 servicemen of the 30th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed and more than 300 wounded.”Traffic on this section of the railway is completely blocked, In addition, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched precision strikes on the temporary location of the 10th mountain Assault Brigade near the village of Perezodnoye in the DPR. As a result, up to 170 nationalists and 12 pieces of military equipment were destroyed, “Two companies of the 72nd mechanized brigade were completely destroyed during the offensive actions of the allied forces near the settlement of Artemivsk in the Donetsk People’s Republic,” Concentrated fire strikes on the command posts of units of the 66th mechanized Brigade and the Right Sector armed formation * in the DPR destroyed more than 100 nationalists and ten pieces of military equipment.In the area of Kramatorsk, the DPR destroyed a HIMARS launcher and a warehouse with ammunition for it. Two Mi-24 helicopters of the Ukrainian Air Force were destroyed in the Mykolaiv region. Four control points, manpower, weapons, military and special equipment in 143 districts were also hit. During the counter-battery struggle, the Russian Armed Forces suppressed two platoons of Grad multiple launch rocket systems, three artillery platoons of Acacia guns, and five platoons of D-30 howitzers. Russian air defense systems destroyed four Ukrainian drones in the Mykolaiv and Kharkiv regions and shot down four HIMARS rockets in the air near Novaya Kakhovka.

Since the beginning of the special military operation, 267 aircraft, 148 helicopters, 1,736 drones, 365 anti-aircraft missile systems, 4,297 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 798 multiple launch rocket systems, 3,295 field artillery and mortar guns, as well as 4,858 units of special military vehicles have been destroyed. your welcome.

I will give you a starter for 10 on that one.But you did not read or understand the statement I made. The point I’m making is that the Western NGOs involved in supplying arms and equipment to nationalist groups in Ukraine are Soros funded and are simply front people for nato .these people are not hard to find and again in my opinion should be found and eliminated

Congratulations to the Russian and LDPR military units for their successful operation in destroying the nato HIMARS and associated equipment. Again this action has saved many innocent lives in the Donbass. I recently watched a video posted by SF where a Canadian TV channel screened a documentary about nato arms being shipped to Ukraine from the west. It gave some good information about the methods being used to smuggle weapons and other ordinance by nato NGOs to Ukrainian nationalist groups . It also identified several persons on interest in this video. Who took part in an interview. I suggest that the video be looked at again in more detail. And that two of the individuals involved in the smuggling operation both of whom were named in the video be detained at the first opportunity!

Military Academy declares the real damage of the ukropizdan hohol JNATO orcs: 67.000 KIA as of 14.VIII.2022, around 3000 more than the last 2 weeks ago and a PLUS of more than 11.000 WIA than the last 2 weeks ago summary, 3.000 deserters, 300 POW’s, So, totaling a staggering around 20.000 casualties in 2-3 weeks !!! So, you’re statement can be considered quasi correct. But to mention something revelant: from those 3000KIA, more than half, mean 1500 ukrop cannon fodder are declared MIA and cremated on the nearest mobile crematorium. So, if you go throw all Ukraine, you will see only 40-45% graves of the idiot soldiers because that was the Penta-goon’s sorosist master orders from the beginning.

After capturing the village of Udy Northwest of Kharkov, the allied forces will finally try to enter the area Westwards. This could be the first step in order to seal the city. The Eastern will be very easy to block. Then it would remain only the South, which truth being said, will be a hard nut to crack. Not impossible thou.

Now the latest about the High Quality Drones from Iran, and I just quote: “According to Iran expert Dr. Magier, Iran has already transferred to Russia a special simulator for training operators of these types of drones, as well as several machines. He also states that the first of them are already taking part in hostilities in Ukraine.

The Iranians consider the fact of such a deal as recognition of the progress of their defense industry, which, despite the most severe technological sanctions, was able to achieve significant success in the development and production of drones, ballistic missiles and air defense systems, bringing Iran into the ranks of world leaders in these areas.

Iran also regards such agreements as the actual implementation of the lifting of UN weapons sanctions (cancelled in the fall of 2021 despite US protests), which allows Iran to freely and legally sell and buy modern weapons.”
