In Video: Russian Strikes Wipe Out Ukrainian M270 Launcher With It Crew

File image.

The Russian military has destroyed another American-made M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) of Kiev forces in the Sumy region with Iskander-M tactical ballistic missiles.

The launcher was hidden in a forested area near the settlement of Sadki. It was targeted with two Iskander-M missiles. As a result of the strikes, the launcher was destroyed and its crew was killed. Video footage of the attack was posted to social networks on August 31.

The United Kingdom, Norway, France and Germany supplied at least 16 American-made MLRS and MARS II -the German-made version of the system- to Kiev forces after the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine.

The launcher can be armed with up to 12 M30/M31 series GMLRS guided rockets, which have a range of more than 70 kilometers, or two MGM-140 ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles, which have a range from 165 to 300 depending on the version, in two separate pods.

The Russian military has already destroyed or damaged many of Ukraine’s MLRS and MARS II systems as well as several of around 40 M142 HIMARS -a lighter, wheeled system that fires the same types of projectiles- which were delivered to Ukraine by the United States over the last two years.

In recent weeks, several MLRS and HIMARS launchers were destroyed in Sumy. Kiev forces deployed the launchers in the region earlier this month to support its attack on the neighboring Russian region of Kursk.

ukrainian source reported that russian forces are storming ugledar head-on at this moment.

this comes as the elite ukrainian 72nd mechanised brigade was reportedly withdrawn from the town after over 2 years of defence.

it already started. shells are almost over on the nazi side and the replacements were destroyed in the military column last night. for the remaining nazis in kursk there is just 2 futures: to surrender very fast or die. return to ukraine alive is not possible anymore – north sumy is almost completely under rf fire control.

you much have much larger army group and accept more own losses, because nazis will strike from inside and outside the cauldron. i think there is no need for that, they are sending reserves, which are easy to destroy on stretched communication lines. in the same time this reinforcements won’t go to donbass, where out army is advancing now. novogrodovka was liberated in 3 days, buildings here have intact glasses. old defense area in karlovka was abandoned under the treat of encircling.

*you must have much larger army…

a cnn report says the pentagon is running out of atacms-himars & wont be able to resupply ukraine with these for a long time. now on top, the launchers are being wiped out constantly. i bet the same thing will happen to patriots & its launchers. funny how the sionist-enslaved us politicians, us military & us main stream media were lying that russia was running out of their guided missiles like 2years ago. now the shoe is on the other foot

don’t trust cnn, even if they say something you like. it’s fact that the us industry now is slow in production, but they could create some reserves before or give additional ammo to nazis from own stocks almost untouched before. hope for the best, but prepare for the worse, because if something can go wrong, it will go wrong — the law of meanness.

Nuke Ukropistan

western ukropistan needs to be hit by emp this will render their electronics useless and then carpet bombed into submission. it’s time to end this war and at the same time show the enemy what it will look like being plunged into the dark ages.

72nd couldn’t evacuate from ugladar potrovsk, guessing since are mechanized and lots of vehicles better to not loose another convoy. one from afu was lost with reported 22 light armour convoy in sumy from kursk to potrovk.
