Ukrainian civilians shot a video showing the devastation left behind by the HIMARS attack, and local residents expressed shock at its scale.

“The walls of the hangar are destroyed. Obvious. Look, the radio station, the body armor has burned down,” says the cameraman, pointing the camera at the pleasant ceramics, which seemed to be part of the “armor” of Russian soldiers.

“They probably had a communication point here,” the story continues, as the man representing the destruction counts one by one the 12 radio stations destroyed in the attack. He then moves on to “something here and more” before returning to what caught the attention of those who were in the area.

“And here I want to show you the most interesting. What it is?” he asks, most likely pointing the phone at a cylindrical hole under the rubble.

“I don’t even know what it is, but I think it’s a HIMARS hole,” he says with a laugh. “I don’t know, it went through a concrete slab,” he adds, before another man attending the “presentation” notices piles of other destroyed equipment.

“It’s a strong smell of corpses,” says one of them, referring to the dead soldiers as “katsaps,” a derogatory term for Russians.

Although it is not known when this video was taken, a number of other videos released in recent days show the Ukrainians continuing to attack with HIMARS systems and other Western launchers, even though their forces are not currently carrying out major offensive actions, it appears that they are more active . focused on the defense of the strategic city of Bakhmut in the east of the country.

Ukraine’s Defense Ministry also released a video on Tuesday showing MARS II multiple-launch missile systems obtained from Germany, calling the weapon a “nightmare for the Russian occupiers” because of its range and high accuracy.

Also, a day ago, the Ministry of Defense in Kyiv reported that Ukraine received the fourth type of rocket launcher of the LRU (Lance Roquette Unitaire) model, the French version of the American M270 rocket launcher.
