A new video posted on social media captured Ukraine’s attack using HIMARS systems from scratch, proving that Ukrainian strikes against Russian forces using these American-made weapons are continuing even after Moscow’s withdrawal from the west bank of the Dnieper in Kherson.

While it is unclear where the footage was shot, the most likely option is Kherson Oblast or other areas of southern Ukraine, where Ukrainian forces have concentrated their US missile launchers since the first batch arrived in Kyiv on June 23.

The Southern Operational Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced on Monday the start of an operation on Cape Kinburn, a spit of land at the end of the Kinburn Peninsula in Mykolaiv Oblast, saying a storm at sea was helping Kyiv forces liberate the territory.

Fighting has been going on here since last week, but the Ukrainian military has so far maintained strict “operational silence” regarding their actions.

But the vegetation captured in the images leaves no doubt that these are recent images, another possibility is that some HIMARS systems were moved to eastern Ukraine, where heavy fighting is taking place in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, called the battles in Donetsk, where the last offensive of the Russian army against Ukraine is taking place – the attack on the Bakhmut axis by mercenaries of the Wagner PMC, a real “hell”.

Daytime HIMARS attacks seem to have become the norm for the Ukrainian army

Like the rest of the recently recorded HIMARS attacks, this launch also took place during the day, a further reminder of the Russian Air Force’s failure to achieve air superiority over Ukraine.

The last months of the war have also shown that Russia has major problems with reconnaissance operations, which in the case of HIMARS missile launches must be carried out by specialized drones.

But sanctions imposed by the West and other allied powers such as Japan on exports of electronic components have crippled Russia’s ability to rebuild those forces after heavy losses recorded in the early stages of the war, and drones purchased from Iran are strike. , which do not have reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities on the battlefield.

We will remind that in the first months after receiving the HIMARS systems from the USA, the Ukrainian troops used them almost exclusively at night, when it is more difficult for them to be detected by enemy forces and put out of order by their counterattacks.

Although the first images of daytime attacks by Ukrainian HIMARS systems appeared as early as July 4, less than two weeks after they were received, they remained extremely rare until August-September.

For example, almost all of the known strikes on the Antoniv Bridge over the Dnipro River were carried out at night, so last month there was a common joke among the Ukrainian military that the early hours of the night are “HIMARS time.”
