I love reading the pro-Putin comments online with his legion of online lackeys claiming to destroy all the US supplied Himar rocket systems. We see these pop up in online forums all the time, if you disagree with them, you just follow western media like sheep – yeah right.

Russian sources have claimed to have destroyed more Himar systems than has been supplied to Ukraine, well, we all know Russian reporting of this war [sorry, special military operation] is notoriously imprecise. Much like a Russian missile system actually, but could there actually be some truth to the Russian Ministry of Defence claims?

The Russian military is almost expert at destroying decoy Ukraine Himar sites, they don’t move, don’t shoot back and are easily spotted by Russian drones. Then the coordinates are forwarded to Russian Black Sea forces to expend naval long-range cruise missiles on decoy [sometimes constructed from wood] sites. The real Himar launchers have launched their precision missiles and long since relocated to hit Russian targets elsewhere.
