Russian Iskanders Attack HIMARS MLRS Column in Kherson Oblast

December 31 2024 84 180 25

Russian Iskander-M OTRK crews attacked a convoy of American HIMARS MLRS on the march near the settlement of Davydiv Brod in the Berislav district of the Kherson region. The objective control footage published online clearly shows that the American technology significant damage was caused.

As follows from the video, the convoy was hit by three missiles of different types. The classic 9M723 munition deviated significantly from the target, causing virtually no damage. But the submunitions of the 9M723K5 cluster warhead missile fired exactly at the point where the convoy stopped.

Apparently, as a result of this strike, the crew, which most likely consisted of Western specialists, suffered serious losses. Most likely, some of the launchers also received significant damage.

Finally, the third air-burst missile exploded at the very end of the column, probably damaging the rear launchers.

It is worth noting that the appearance of the HIMARS MLRS in the Berislav district of the Kherson region can hardly be called accidental. The enemy's resources have been reporting for several days about the concentration of Russian troops on the opposite bank of the Dnieper with the aim of forcing the water barrier.

Apparently, the Kyiv regime militants were planning to strike at the personnel of Russian units. However, after the attack by Russian OTRK, this action will have to be postponed at the very least.

Apparently, as a result of this attack, the crew, which, with a high degree of probability, consisted of Western specialists, suffered serious losses.

On the contrary, the personnel will not be harmed by fragments of cluster munitions. That is why the HIMARS cabin is armored. Yes, the vehicle and the warhead will be harmed by fragments, but the crew (if they were inside) will not.

Judging by the footage, the hits are very conditional...

hence the stories only about "probabilities"

  I don't agree here, the second blow was executed with precision, it landed tightly along the radius, although questions remain as to why they didn't finish it off...

  Yeah. Such a rare and fat target, Haimars in a bunch, and in the open. They could have tried harder. Apparently the Iskanders are on duty. God willing, they'll be picked up by artillery, and from the air...

A clear discrepancy between reports and reality: "all targets hit", how and what level of damage, if as in the video, then after some minor repairs, everything is back in order for the enemy, although there are enough weapons involved. Conclusion: in terms of accuracy in the video, the strikes today are unsatisfactory...

such targets must be destroyed regardless of the costs, including the use of strategic weapons

Most likely, some of the launchers also received significant damage.

Is it not possible to conduct aerial reconnaissance?
How did they shoot then, how did they carry out target designation?
Or they fired on the off chance that it would hit and now they are wondering if there was any damage or not....

Most likely, some of the launchers also received significant damage.

But if a missile with a 50-kiloton nuclear warhead had been used, no one would have escaped or survived. And the Hymers would have been beyond repair, even if the ammunition had not exploded.

  Then suddenly, out of nowhere, the Ukrainians will also have a nuclear warhead. Don't you notice that the West is supplying Ukraine with weapons that are equivalent to ours in terms of use? And the United States and England can officially transfer nuclear weapons to Ukraine, since they gave Ukraine security guarantees during its disarmament:
  
  The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate action by the UN Security Council to assist Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine becomes the victim of an act of aggression or the object of a threat of aggression involving the use of nuclear weapons.

    Nuclear warheads may appear in Iran and even in the Houthis. So the world Jewry is unlikely to go for it. Whether you like the US GDP or not - it does not matter in terms of the fact that Russia will not allow itself to be defeated, even by using nuclear weapons, if the situation requires it.

      Yes, but so far Iran doesn’t even have any calibers in sight.
      
      So world Jewry is unlikely to agree to this.
      
      They also talked about the Heimars, Abrams, F-16 and many other things.
      
      God forbid! I don't like either the USA or the GDP!
      A nuclear strike will be Russia's defeat. That's what the West is waiting for. They will prepare everything for a strike on Russia, and blame it all on Zelensky, who will never be seen again. Ukraine has nothing to lose in that case, so what if there's a huge crater somewhere near Moscow. After that, of course, they will immediately agree to any deal, but Vova will be clearly warned of the consequences if he continues to collect the territories of the Soviet Union.
      
      Of course, Russia will not allow defeat, but to agree to another agreement to give Ukraine a break does not mean losing. At least Solovyov and Skabeeva will present it as a victory over all of NATO, and after a couple of months of watching TV, you yourself will believe it.

    This is not the fruit of someone's crazy fantasy (the transfer of nuclear weapons to Ukraine by the Saxons), this is only possible in one case - "I dream from Monday to Tuesday"... Well, maybe Gordon and Arestovich will predict it...

Judging by all the videos, the Iskander cluster munition is very ineffective.
And why there are so many misses is completely unclear, there was no time to clarify the coordinates

  Seriously, ineffective?
  Then I have a logical question: have you personally seen the consequences of these "ineffective" strikes? I seriously doubt it.
  Even if the weapon is not completely destroyed, but is put out of action for a long time (it needs to be sent abroad, repaired, etc., and this is not something you can do with the snap of a finger), the blow in any case has its effect.
  Well, of course I don’t want you to see the consequences of such blows in life, although of course I understand that it’s more visible from the couch.

Well... so-so... The 1st missile just missed. The 2nd is useless in itself. There are few submunitions and their effect is zero. And only the third one was lucky enough to hit relatively successfully. But again, there are no signs of damage to the missiles, although it is possible that the launchers were empty, no fire of the vehicles themselves. So it is difficult to talk about the seriousness of the damage caused. The music is a separate masterpiece. With such effectiveness, more would have come from the "village of fools". This episode again raises the question of sane means of destruction of equipment or TsU-SP complexes, which can hit the target precisely and not somewhere in its area at distances of up to 100 km at least. Again, the distance from the LF of about 60 km allows us to cover this column from Smerch or additionally send 2-4 KAB / ODAB-500/1000. So that there is definitely nothing left there for restoration.

It is a shame that such a big target was attacked with a disgraceful result and an unsuccessful choice of weapon, without bothering to carry out additional aerial reconnaissance and repeat precise strikes with lancets.
