ISW: In Russia, it is recognized that HIMARS are changing the course of the war

Due to the precise strikes of the Armed Forces, the occupying forces cannot carry out chaotic artillery fire, as they did before.

Analysts of the US Institute for the Study of War note that in fear is growing in the Russian information space because of the probable failure in the war against Ukraine. First of all, it was provoked by successful strikes by HIMARS anti-aircraft missiles on the key supply chains of the occupiers, warehouses and communication nodes. This is stated in the latest ISW report.

Such strikes by the Armed Forces have an irreversible impact on the development of future offensives of the Russian Federation. Because of them, the Russians have to use different tactics on the battlefield to hide, primarily by means of camouflage and constantly changing the location of groups of equipment. This tactic prevents the occupying army from conducting massive artillery fire, as they did before, according to data from NASA Fire Information for Resource Management.

The appearance of HIMARS installations in the Armed Forces was a turning point in the war, pro-Russian Telegram channels write.

It will be recalled that the head of the president's office, Andriy Yermak, noted that the United States and its allies will provide Ukraine with up to 30 HIMARS rocket launchers and a large amount of ammunition for them. Currently, 12 long-range artillery systems of American production and a certain number of MLRS M270 have already been delivered to Ukraine. In the new package of military aid, the USA announced the delivery of four more HIMARS installations.

PreviouslyMinister of Defense Oleksiy Reznikov stated that 50 HIMARS and missile systems are needed for the defense of Ukraine of M270 systems, and 100 for the offensive.

Why did the aggressor fail the first stage of the invasion and fail to succeed in the second? What tasks should our army solve in the third stage in order to oust the Russians from Ukraine? What could be the consequences of the truce to which Putin will incline Ukraine? You will find the answers to these questions and the forecast for the coming months in the article of Major General Serhii Savchenko “Are you waiting for a powerful fire preparation and a counterattack? This will not happen. Everything has already begun.”
