An Iskander-K cruise missile. Illustrative image.
On July 17, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it had destroyed one of the M142 HIMARS multiple rocket-launching systems recently supplied to Ukraine by the US. This is the third system destroyed by Russian forces in Ukraine.
During his daily briefing, the MoD’s spokesman Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov said that a HIMARS launcher and a reload vehicle were destroyed near the settlement of Krasnoarmeisk in the Donetsk People’s Republic as a result of a missile strike.
The MoD released footage showing the destruction of the alleged launcher and reload vehicle. The footage was taken by a drone, most likely an Orlan-10, that was apparently used to coordinate the strike.
The missile used in the pinpoint strike was apparently the 9M728 cruise missile, the main armament of the 9K720 Iskanderw-K system. The missile has a known maximum range of 500 kilometers. It is guided by the GLONASS satellite navigation system and INS [inertial navigation system].
The 9M728 is equipped with a TERCOM [terrain contour matching] system, which allows it to fly at an extremely low level to avoid detection by enemy radars.
So far, the US has claimed the supply at least 12 HIMARSs to Ukraine. Most of these systems have been already delivered.
The HIMARS supplied to Ukraine are armed with M30/M31 series GMLRS precision-guided rockets, which have a range of more than 70 kilometers. GMLRS rockets are guided by a GPS-aided inertial navigation system and have a circular error probable of one meter. Each launcher can be loaded with a pod of six rockets.

Kiev forces have been using HIMARS systems to target residential areas in the Donbass region. Now, Kiev is reportedly planning to use the systems in even a more provocative way.
Earlier on July 17, representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry Vadim Skribitsky said during a TV interview that Kyiv might use the systems for hitting Russian military objects in Crimea. According to him, the next target could be the Black Sea Fleet.
video not work
It works for me!
It depends on whether Jscript is working on your browser and/or you have any blockers in action .I have several browsers -if one wont activate the video then another will-none of them use Google /Chrome .
Some browsers have “built-in protection ” stopping you being tracked – in FF you can change that or its spin-offs.Otter browser allows it to run.
Thanks, Into Chrome it works (into Mozilla and into Edge not work).
If it doesn’t another way is right click on the video, select copy video link, paste it into the address box in a new tab and it plays then.
This one does – it’s a training one for the future NATO anthem, sung by one of their own! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1BmuSW1sR4
Nice to see the pows being allowed some rec time and music education. No breaking rocks for them, only the best.
You aren’t missing much. Just more goofiness from the anti-propagandists at the Russian MOD who always go out of their way to make everything seems strange and enigmatic.
Video works fine. hipp = jens holm the retard btw
Works OK in Brave browser.
oy vey! what will lgbt hohols do now
they very strong….the faggots gonna send some transgenders and dr Fraudi !!!
they gonna drink more coffes in Kiov with Lady gué gué and the big wef world economic faggots concert and Greta is gonna be there to say the chineses polute a lot of cheizen !!! blá blá blá we come we see and we exchange sex !!!
Too much much talk about faggots at the Southfront troll farm lately. Looks like they’re finally out of the closet and sucking each other’s dicks.
the only faggot here suking all the dicks its You !!! Pedo gay !!!
You’re projecting like the Putin faggot you are. Stop projecting, faggot. Enjoy sucking their dicks.
soros and bill and klaus are already taken in the anus !!! its gonna explode in big pedos flying !!!!
You can suck his dick too. There’s no reason to project. You’re a homosexual lunatic.
Sucking their dicks is your job. Sucking their butts is just your hobby 😀
No, sucking their dicks is your job. My job is to make sure you don’t end up raping them.
He should change his name to MOHOMMAD YOUR POOFTA. Fake azz troller probably one of those US military cyber unit jerk offs trying to stifle intelligent discussion and to AD HOMINEM us but has nothing interesting or intelligent to add. Best to ignore the phaggot.
He should change the name of Southfront to the Putin Faggots Gay Fanclub.
The Russian 220mm BM-27 Uragan MRL is another obsolete Soviet piece of gargage the Putin cockroaches just dug up from their warehouses. The Putin terrorists will probably use them to cover the Iskander systems they have left. It means that the HIMARS are working and the Putin terrorists are digging for scraps
This is irrefutable news that another US Hymars has been destroyed.
I do hope that it had a US/NATO crew that are now said to be operating some of these US Hymars in Ukraine. The re-load and hymars crew could easily equate to 25 US bodybags, plus the bagged up remains of sightseeing Ukies, LOL
Slava Rossiya.
Expect a helicopter accident in the US, to disguise where the body bags came from. Those helicopters get awfully accident prone, when there are a lot of dead bodies in the wrong place at the right time.
Long may the US military have many ‘training’ accidents in helos.
The Black Hawks are tricky to fly in ideal conditions, so flying in a US propaganda shit storm is bound to have casualties, AM :)
I was considering asking the NHS if it is safe for me to go outdoors in the searing 29C where I am. I was also wondering in the NHS has a Clot Shot vaccine for Summer weather.
Yes, and the more crucial asset they destroyed was the trained Ukrainians to operate the HIMARS , reload it and reload the pods………..those are crucial positions that are harder to replace than the HIMARS itself.
One question – how the fuuucck HIMARS reached Donbas??!! Russians still let Ukr Army transport troops and equipment with ease all around country.
It may have escaped you, but Ukraine is a very large landmass with a long Hato border in the West!
It happened while the Putin terrorists were destroying bridges and trying to surround and destroy the five Ukrainian battalions in Severdonetsk for Vladimir Putin’s moronic propaganda. I thought that was pretty obvious.
I russi sono come un vecchio senza occhiali. cosa si pensa che possono vedere con qui pochi droni che anno il 10% di quello che succede. Ecco come arriva tutto. E in più un servizio di intelligenza nemmeno lontano parente del KGB. Ecco perché sono in questa situazione.
The Kremlin refuses to destroy the supply lines. The Kremlin continues to supply the enemy with fuel and natural resources. All a problem with the Kremlin and what ever their actual goals are.
In the long term, Russia will need those same supply lines for advancing………..if they ever actually start. They seem to be focusing on where the Ukrainian troops stay now, they may actually be targeting the trained HIMARS crews, more than the HIMARS themselves.
Using roads, how else. Russia can’t control every road in Ukraine.
This video shows nothing. Could be explosion targeted nothing or something else.
Yes, video have a very poor Quality and it is not time continue. I tried to save it locally and enlarge, but without any good effect.
jens you dumb monkey your dead eyes are “very poor quality”, full of cataracts and yankee semen
It shows you mama sucking 10 black dicks. Cope you blind and butthurt imbecile.
It would be more effective if the drone filming he strike had waited until the smoke had cleared so the extent of damage could be appreciated.
I suspect the Russian military cared more about getting their asset out of there after the explosion as opposed to leaving it in the area, so you’d be satisfied. If the missile hit during the reloading process, then its accurate to assume the vehicles were destroyed.
What you see in the video is a set of cursors with objects in the frame that give reasonably accurate dimensional information – you know the area covered by the cursors. What you as the owner of the missile also know is the charge and type fitted and the probabilities associated with damage to a known target ( a known HIMARS launcher) – you know how close you need be to that vehicle with that type of charge to guarantee a kill – rendering the platform useless. The video proves the hit was within range and the enemy is signalled very clearly and they understand that the target is destroyed. The enemy also knows the type of charge expected. Now that is enough. You don’t need give information away by waiting for smoke to clear, as that would give away information about the actual blast effects, patterns and ranges achieved – the video proves the kill and that is all it is meant to do!
Russia through standard military planning has built capability to have countermeasures and strategy to deal with all NATO and US ‘toys’ that can possibly be deployed in battle. That is what a military organisation and apparatus does – it gleans information, it analyses and then it plans and deploys to have a capable military response. Russia has a fully developed technical infrastructure including space technology that is largely hidden away from view and isolated from the civilian domain – they can’t make a brilliant TV – but my they make a great hypersonic missile. The west media has no clue of Russian capabilities and Russia is going through extensive lengths only to surface what it needs to in any exposed conflict situation. These HIMARS will be taken out the same as every other ‘toy’ sent to Ukraine. Then we will hear the repeated mantra from drugged up comedian Z-elensky – if only Ukraine had the next new…… weapon we would win. Russia has this all in hand, the west needs to start to realise it. Russia has escalatory dominance in this geographical area – if you need listen to someone – listen to Obama.
More UK/USA lies shown up and makes the Paid Posters here look stupid for parroting it –UK Admiral Sir Tony Radakin head of UK armed forces- quote- “Mr.Putin is sick is WISHFUL thinking ” .
Jens, Hans & Co. will be very sad today. My deep condolences to you guys.
1 strike in Russian territory = Chicken Kiev for Ukraine
HIMARS became BYEMARS in a flash!
The crushing bombing campaign of the Russian Air Force has been very active in the last few days. Let’s hope they will keep the momentum.
Ukrainian cargo plane crashed in eastern Greece
An aircraft of the An family crashed on Saturday evening, July 16, west of the city of Kavala, located in eastern Greece. This was announced on the eve of the TV channel ERT. According to journalists, we are talking about a Ukrainian cargo plane.
According to preliminary information, there was a crew of eight people on board. The authors of the publication reported that at the moment the search and rescue operation has already begun.
The aircraft was last seen on the radar screen 10 nautical miles west of Kavala. The pilot reported the failure of one of the four engines and was immediately cleared for an emergency landing at the local airport. At the end of the Athos peninsula, the aircraft made a U-turn to land. The board began to lose altitude due to a burning engine.
It is assumed that during the descent, the aircraft hit a local power line, due to which the entire area was left without electricity. The wreckage of the An-12 was found near the village of Paleochori in the municipality of Pangeo, 40 kilometers from the Kavala airport. According to eyewitnesses, the aircraft crashed into a corn field, explosions occurred.
It is known that the An-12 aircraft carried out a commercial transport flight from Serbia to Jordan. According to the assumptions of the representative of the Greek Civil Protection Service, the liner could carry ammunition.
A special drone will be launched over the crash site to help determine if there are any surviving crew members. According to journalists, everyone was advised to wear protective masks, since a certain specific smell is felt from the fire site, TASS writes.
On the eve of the multi-purpose helicopter Black Hawk Ministry of the Navy of Mexico crashed in the northwestern state of Sinaloa.

More verry bad news. Me so sad now.
” According to journalists, everyone was advised to wear protective masks, since a certain specific smell is felt from the fire site, TASS writes.”
That being the case, what chemical weapons were being transported to the Ukrainian government?
Could it be that Israel supplied Sarin etc to Jordan to load on the Ukie aircraft?
Very suspicious. Serbian authorities said that Ukrainian plain was carrying Serbian weapons for Bangladesh??
Maíz tostado. Que bueno!
What kind of crazy goofy footage is this? Russian MOD is full of it on so many levels. Can’t even provide 30 seconds of coherent video.
one thing is sure: the HIMARS is NOT invisible, it’s possible to find it and this mean it will not longer escape even if survived this time.
BS video. The missile hit the middle of nowhere.
Cry bitch cry! And die bitch dieeee!!
HIMARS KABOOM HAHAHAHAHA
💥💥💥😄😄😄😄💥💥💥💥
“Russian”, Vanya, Muhamad, TombSewer, the same retarded moron spamming even more garbage than usual coz he’s even more frustrated, butthurt and desperate than usual (if that’s even possible).
Well, I guess it’s time to push the Ukrainians out of range…………………
Soon the 300km missiles will arrive and they will target the Crimea Bridge and the Ports of Odesa.
Russia now threatens us with crushing blow if we attack Crimea or Kerch…..I will consult w new foreign minister Jens assholm to decide.
The video does not works in Firefox, it only works in Chrome!
You have to use video formats that are standard and work in all browsers!
Or simply use another browser if Firefox is not working. LOL
Russia honestly, STEP up the ante until the West begs to have it stepped down.
R u fuckin kidding me,? I thought humanity has evolved past propaganda. Stop it!
We hear Russians bought one of the HIMARS they claim to have destroyed. You don’t see a missile hit in the videos released. Either way, the noises around Ukrainians selling one HIMARS system seem to be growing stronger for closer to a week now
It wont work because the axis of evil are attacking it.
