Recently, a NATO-supplied M270 system was located just across the border from Russia’s Kursk Region. This system, provided to Kiev by Western sponsors, was destroyed in the Sumy region of Ukraine. The M270 is a tracked system capable of firing both ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles and smaller high-precision projectiles. It was identified by a surveillance drone near Bezdrik village, about 25 kilometers from the Russian border.
A ballistic missile launched from a Russian Iskander-M system promptly struck the location, resulting in a large explosion and fire. The Russian military estimates that both the launcher and its crew were destroyed in the attack. HIMARS launchers and other Western-supplied systems have been used by Ukrainian forces against civilian targets in Donbas.
Recently, the Ukrainian military used Western-made munitions against Russia’s Kursk Region for the first time, resulting in the destruction of a bridge and loss of lives. This has been described as terrorist attacks on civilian targets by the Kiev regime. The ongoing conflict continues to escalate, with devastating consequences for both sides.
