Russia’s Defense Ministry said on Friday its military forces have destroyed four Ukrainian M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers received from the United States since July 5.
“Four launchers and one transport-loading vehicle for the US-made multiple launch rocket systems (HIMARS) were destroyed,” the ministry noted at a daily briefing.
The M142 HIMARS is a light multiple rocket launcher developed in the late 1990s for the United States Army, which the Biden administration donated to Kiev to boost its defenses against invading Russian forces.
