HIMARS has a built-in system for rapid target reprogramming right inside the cabin. This allows the crew to change the target even minutes before launch, after reaching the firing position. Because of this, HIMARS is almost impossible to catch with counter-battery fire - it shoots and relocates immediately.
In Ukraine, HIMARS were used not only against ground targets but also to destroy river crossings. In several cases, strikes were so precise that the rockets literally “cut” pontoon sections, stopping entire columns of equipment.
In 2022, HIMARS was used for the first time to hunt enemy air defense radars. Its precision and speed made it impossible for the systems to relocate in time.
On the North-Slobozhanske front, the occupiers tried to move a cannon on a truck… across a river using a blown-up bridge.
But once again, the recon company of the 47th Mechanized Brigade “Mahura” worked flawlessly in coordination with a friendly unit.
A Shark recon drone and one precise strike from a partner unit’s UAV - and the enemy truck, crew, and cannon are gone.
A rare sight — the occupiers used heavy equipment on the Lyman front. And instantly lost it!
Pilots of the 63rd Brigade’s UAV unit spotted a tank the Russians had carefully hidden in a tree line and disabled it with three drones.
