Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Dage]

In Popasna, Wagner base destroyed by HIMARS.
They apparently released a video earlier this week, boasting about it.

It was then geolocated and targeted. Keep doing that stuff, clowns!

Good riddance!

I wonder if all these incidents are actually Himars. There are several other systems active in Ukraine with the same rocket ammo, e.g. the Mars-II system and I could be wrong but the British rocket launcher is at least able to fire the 80 to 100 km rockets.

Interesting if true pre deployment report from the Moskva.

Long msg sorry. (pasted from other source hence the capitals and phrasing)

• Ship only had about 50 or so of its 600 Fire Extingushers
• Of the ships 6 CIWS turrets Only 1 worked The other 5 were used as spare parts
• The OSA launchers didnt work
• The main gun was out of action due to a broken Hydraulic line
• S-300's & the radar for them:
• The radar could work and fire the missiles But it couldnt lock onto the targets for whatever reason. The Comms system would routinely knock out the radar But the radar couldnt lock onto the target
• 2 of the engines were tens of thousands of hours past replacement We are talking 20,000-25,000 hours past replacement
• And could only be used in case of emergency or by order of the Fleet Commander
• The other 2 had by order of the Fleet commander had the time between overhauls extended But they were still past when they should have gotten repairs
• Some of the generators worked part of the time
• The rudder was busted Or more accurately the steering gear Anything past 20 degrees Caused a severe issue & delay
• Several of the main cooling and hydraulic pumps were busted Requiring overhauls

And the kicker!

• The ship's assessed condition as satisfactory

HIMARS seems to have just become the default term for all MRLS.

No doubt the money for maintenance and repairs was handed over but somehow disappeared.
