A High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launcher provided by the US to Ukraine was destroyed in the Sumy Region, as shown in a video released by the Russian Defense Ministry. The destruction occurred during a conflict where thousands of troops crossed from Sumy into Russia’s Kursk Region, prompting intense air and artillery strikes from Moscow.
The footage depicts the HIMARS firing missiles before being struck by an Iskander ballistic missile, resulting in the destruction of the launcher, a reloading pod, and two service vehicles. The M142 HIMARS, mounted on a truck chassis, can fire various guided rockets and missiles. The US has supplied Ukraine with at least 40 of these launchers.
