range and accuracy. L’Ukraine relies on the two main characteristics of Himar to change the tide of war in Donbass. The modern rocket launchers that the US has supplied to Kyiv could soon make a difference. that’s not the case Oleksii ReznikovThe Ukrainian Defense Minister posted a photo of the weapon on Twitter with an emblematic description and thanks to the United States for their support: “Probably the best example of this support is Himars, which has become a game changer on the front line “. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian media spotlighted an event taking place in the country’s eastern quadrant by Moscow-backed pro-Russian separatists confiscated two ships under a foreign flag in the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol.
The meaning of the Himars
After the Russians were pushed back from Kyiv and Kharkiv and the cruiser Moskva sank in the Black Sea, the Kremlin relied on its abilities artilleryturn the battles into Donbass in a non-stop bombardment. Moscow thus conquered the Lugansk Oblast and is now aiming for complete control of Donetsk. Ukraine has admitted that the situation in the east is difficult, but is ready to respond by exploiting the characteristics of the Himars. After the break-in period, the forces of Kyiv are ready to bombard strategic Russian military targets with these very special weapons.
While the howitzers used by the Ukrainians up until now actually had a range of around 30 kilometers, the Himars have more than double that. It means men of Volodymyr Zelenskyy You will be able to hit deep. Built by military contractor Lockheed Martin, the Himars, or Highly Mobile Artillery Rocket System, can fire the same type of long-range weapons as a conventional Multi-Launch Rocket System (MLRS), like the M270, at targets up to 300 kilometers away. However, there are some fundamental differences: Himars uses a three-axle frame with wheels. The entire system can be operated by a crew consisting of a driver, gunner and department head, while a spent ammunition capsule can be reloaded in a matter of minutes. This offers in addition to an excellent shooting abilityallows Ukrainians to quickly position, attack and reposition after firing.
Ships seized by the Russians
A Ukrainian military source told Repubblica that Himars hits at a range of nine meters, meaning he almost always hits the mark. “For us, that’s the oneweapon of liberationwhich we will use massively to retake the cities occupied by the Russians,” the source said. It seems that until now, the Ukrainian soldiers have been somewhat “blocked by the fear of meeting civilians in the occupied territories. “Well thanks. The accuracy of the Himars could change the whole scenario.
On exiting the battlefield, the Kyiv Independent wrote that Russian-backed separatists had seized two foreign-flagged ships in the Ukrainian port city Mariupol, and claims they are now “state”. This is the first such act against merchant shipping since the beginning of the war. The self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic told two shipping companies that their ships had been subjected to “forcible seizure of chattel property with forcible conversion to state ownership” with no compensation to the owners. this is that Smartaflying the Liberian flag and from Blue Starunder the Panamanian flag.
