Russia has failed to destroy a single HIMARS launcher to date

Ukraine's military prowess utilizing the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems provided by the US remains unmatched.

The long-range, high-precision rocket launchers, also known as HIMARS, have proven monumental to Ukraine's ongoing war effort against Russia. With a range reaching up to 50 miles, Ukraine has used the rockets to effectively hit Russian positions and clear out before the enemy can retaliate.

Russia has failed to destroy a single HIMARS launcher since Ukraine first began using them in June, a senior Defense Department official told Politico.

No weapon system has had as big an impact on the fighting in Ukraine as the HIMARS — especially given Russia's apparent inability to level the playing field.
