but the real game changer in this war was the 30 year old HIMARS system, that thing packs one hell of a deadly punch.

I just wonder if anyone has admitted to Putin what a relatively old weapon it is and how far improved optics and microcircuitry are on our newer stuff, and I'm speaking for NATO, in general, not just the US.
