an American missile launcher in support

Near the town of Kherson (Ukraine), a missile hit a small town occupied by Russian forces. Seven people were killed as a result of this bombardment. The Ukrainian authorities say they have targeted ammunition depots, while the Russians denounce shootings against civilians. The missiles were fired from Himars missile launchers, delivered by the Americans to Ukrainian troops. Its operation allows shots up to 80 kilometers.

The range of the missile launcher is impressive, but other features of this weapon could do Ukrainian troops a lot of service. He is renowned for bringing a lot of precision to the shots. This is a real advantage for the Ukrainians, because their opponent does not have missile launchers with such a large range. “Himars are clearly game-changing equipment in this war“ explains a Ukrainian soldier. However, this weapon will not be sufficient to be certain of winning the war.
