Special Operations Forces fighters discovered and targeted a Russian command and control vehicle, deploying HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) in southern Ukraine, according to the Special Operations Forces (SOF).
The operators from the 73rd Marine Center of the SOF identified an enemy command and control vehicle during reconnaissance operations on the southern front. The Russians were using it to manage their units.
Aerial reconnaissance specialists adjusted the fire of the Ukrainian artillery onto the enemy vehicle. The American HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system destroyed the Russian command and control vehicle.
"As a result of a precise strike, the enemy command and control vehicle is not subject to recovery, in other words, destroyed," note the SOF fighters.
