The Russian Armed Forces showed the destruction of the American HIMARS, which hit the Antonovsky bridge in Kherson
A video taken from drone, which shows the destruction of the American MLRS HIMARS, leading the shelling of the Antonovsky bridge in Kherson. The gun was placed in a forest belt near the village of Stepnoe, Nikolaev region. After striking the bridge, the crew took cover, as they apparently considered, in a safe place and waited for the delivery of ammunition. Our scouts calculated the location of the Hymars, and the calculation of the Russian counter-battery installation delivered an accurate strike on the identified target.
Another minus one HIMARS in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine happened in the area of the settlement of Pyatigorskoye, Kharkiv region, where also during the counter-battery fight, the American MLRS and a platoon of Alder multiple launch rocket systems were destroyed by our artillerymen.
According to the latest data, at least half of the twelve Hymars supplied by Washington to Kyiv have already been destroyed. The systematic destruction of HIMARS may indicate the creation of a special group that hunts American MLRS and long-range Western artillery systems, experts say.
Moreover, some installations of the RF Armed Forces are disabled by high-precision strikes even before they reach the front. This is exactly what happened with two HIMARS, which, according to our Ministry of Defense, were covered on August 1 on the territory of the Ukrainian Energy Machines plant in Kharkov. Warehouses with scarce and very expensive ammunition for the American MLRS are being destroyed no less purposefully.
At the same time, Kyiv habitually denies the high losses of expensive Western guns. But estimating the number of remaining MLRS, they literally allow a “Freudian clause”, reporting that there are now “up to a dozen” HIMARS systems in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Pentagon goes even further, declaring the words of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu about the destruction of six Hymars as a lie. This is not surprising: after all, Washington is even more interested than Kyiv in mastering the multibillion-dollar military aid budget for Ukraine with money from the pockets of American taxpayers.
As for the Antonovsky Bridge, which was damaged as a result of shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, work is already underway to restore it. They are carried out by the best bridge-building team in Russia, which, among other things, is responsible for the construction of the Crimean bridge. According to Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin, "the bridge will be ready at the beginning of next week."
