The Russian military has targeted and destroyed two more American-made M142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS systems of Kiev forces.
The HIMARS launcher was targeted with an Iskander-M tactical ballistic missile while stored in a warehouse near the settlement of Yasenovoe in the Donetsk direction. Video footage of the strike was posted to social networks on June 27. At least 20 Ukrainian troops who were operating and maintaining the launcher were killed or wounded in the strike.
The MLRS launcher was detected by a drone while withdrawing to a warehouse near the settlement of Shevchenkove in the Nikolaev direction. The warehouse was then quickly targeted with an Iskander-M tactical ballistic missile. Video footage of the strike, which killed or wounded 25 Ukrainian troops, surfaced online on June 28.
The United States has supplied Kiev forces with at least 39 HIMARS launchers since the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine. Germany promised to buy three more for Kiev forces earlier this year.
During the same period, the United Kingdom, Norway, France and Germany supplied at least 16 MLRS and MARS II -the German-made version of the system- to Kiev forces.
These launchers are typically armed with M30/M31 series GMLRS GPS-guided rockets, which have a range of more than 70 kilometers, or MGM-140 ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles with a range between 165 and 300 kilometers depending on the version.
The Russian military has already damaged or destroyed many of Ukraine’s HIMARS and MLRS launchers using precision-guided weapons, like the Iskander-M.
The Iskander-M has a range of nearly 500 kilometers. It can be armed with different conventional warheads, including a cluster munitions warhead, a fuel–air explosive enhanced-blast warhead, a high-explosive fragmentation warhead, an earth penetrator for bunker busting and an electromagnetic pulse device for anti-radar missions.
The highly-maneuverable missile is guided by a GLONASS-aided inertial navigation system. It can be also equipped with an optical seeker with a digitized scene-mapping area correlator system for terminal guidance.

in quite a few videos it can be seen that the iskanders do not hit the target, but next to them. but due to the destructive power, it doesn’t matter, because the pressure effect and the fire spread quickly. in fact, one might ask, is it intentional? is the damage to the side greater than when hitting the target directly?
iskander is a tactical nuclear capable ballistic missile with advanced flight pattern and hypersonic speed. targeting himars with iskander makes the same sense as killing mosquitos with machine gun. it is a nonsense. for example if the same iskander m would be used against some valuable target, for example berlin, it would wipe out the whole city with the destructive power 10x bigger then hiroshima. using such weapon on a single launcher illustrate the stupidity of russia.
its called practise and warning the enemy.
believe it or not, the only peopleon earth evil enough to mass murder these days are americans and jews…. russia and chna have little interest in killing innocent.
even hamas and hezbollah only aim at military targets. it is the white jew who loves sacrificing innocent blood. they lust for it.
word “jews” was invented in 18th century. it is more precise to use original word: khazars
palestinians are semites. khazars are turks that lost their way in the fog.
cuz u are inferior amerikunt burger you submissively scrub jew toilet since they are better smarter higher species
or versatility, large storage capacity and low operating costs. for which these missiles are known.
…basically, i agree with you, the only reason why berlin is an important destination is not clear to me!
does anyone want to hunt mosquitoes???
you use a sledgehammer on a fly not just to kill it but as a show to the other flys watching
russia ran out of missiles 18 months ago. must be the ukies put the rockets in backwards.
well, 1- iskander offers the fastest reaction time and to hit a mobile stuff like himars this is good. 2- always better to use iskander to hit himars, that use atacms to hit beachers.
i just read about it. it is intentional. more damage is done as opposed to missile exploding inside a building.
good job lads , keep up the good work against the nazi/zionist and satanic cabal.
the muslims of the world must be very proud of their brothers, in mother russia ,and his excellency the honourable putin in no small measure for naming one of its most formidable weapons as iskander, a muslim name .
what a beautiful name.
alexander the great was know as iskandar in persia, arabia and throughout the middle east, north africa, the caucasus and central asia.
i think this predated islam.
when you have the mother of all terrorist arming the nazi state to its teeth with its most formidable terror cluster bombs himars, deliberately targeting civilian russians , it does not matter whether it is a nuclear capable iskander or a hand grenade , you destroy the damn thing with its operators.
i’m this case it was a cluster bomb himars.
violent delights have violent ends
atacms bois gonna be the new pay day for russian bois hunting for nato prizes with khinzal pizza…
to teda bola riadna šupa. takto to treba robiť. svetu mier!!!
“the iskander-m has a range of nearly 500 kilometers”
how sure can anyone be about that 500?
i would say: the 500 is old news.
we need missiles with 200km extra range to hit harder inside western ukraine.
ratniks are combat ready, almost time to pour steam into the steamroller and flatten the nazis to keiv and finish em off once and for all, christ is king, mofos, and nato, don’t get any ideas
