5 HIMARS Strikes Target Russian Infantry Units
Published 1 years ago
The Ukraine military carried out five HIMARS strikes against Russian infantrymen on Dzharylhach Island along the southern coastal edge of the Kherson region. Observation drone footage prior to the strikes shows approximately a hundred-plus Russian infantry troops standing in formations in five different groups along the island.
The drone, which was operating either undetected or uncontested deep into Russian held territory zooms out to show all five strikes hitting the stretch of island within seconds. Only one of the strikes was shown at a relatively close view. The Russians had taken up shelter inside a cluster of trees, but the airburst GMLRS would have blanketed their positions with tungsten projectiles likely inflicting heavy casualties on all targets.
