Ukrainian forces identified the location of a Russian marine workshop where enemy troops were reinforcing the armor of their vehicles. The enemy base was destroyed using HIMARS, the press service of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade Magura reports.
"The reconnaissance unit of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade Magura sent a Fly Eye 3.0 on a little tour and found the enemy's 'garage of talents.' The marines of the 155th Brigade (of the Russian army - ed.) were diligently welding additional armor onto their 'tubs,' as if that could save them from reality. But if you have to weld your APCs to keep them from falling apart – maybe the problem isn’t the armor, but your karma?" the statement says.
According to Ukrainian forces, the occupiers attempted to improve their armor but instead "improved their casualty statistics."
"HIMARS conducted the final testing of their products. As a result, the workshop shut down - along with its clients," the Magura representatives reported.
HIMARS for Ukraine
HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) is a highly mobile artillery rocket system developed by the American company Lockheed Martin. It is equipped with six GMLRS rockets or a single ATACMS operational-tactical missile, allowing for highly precise strikes on targets up to 300 kilometers away. Due to its mobility and rapid deployment, HIMARS has become an effective weapon for destroying enemy command posts, ammunition depots, and logistical hubs.
HIMARS has been widely used in Ukraine for counter-battery warfare and strikes on Russian rear positions. Ukrainian forces have successfully utilized the system to disrupt enemy logistics, eliminate ammunition depots, and target vulnerable command centers, significantly complicating the Russian army's supply lines at the front.
At the end of December, Ukraine's Defense Forces eliminated three Russian army officers in the Zaporizhzhia region. The occupiers had gathered for a meeting and were taken out by a HIMARS strike.
