The Armed Forces of Ukraine have already destroyed more than 400 targets with the help of High-Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), which were supplied as part of military assistance from the USA. The information was revealed by Head of the JCS General Mark Milley at a press conference following the Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
"We are seeing real and measurable gains from Ukraine in the use of these systems. For example, the Ukrainians have struck over 400 targets with the HIMARS and they've had devastating effect," Milley said.

The American general stated that the use of HIMARS rocket launchers has strained russian communication lines and supply channels, thereby creating "great difficulty resupplying their forces and replacing their combat losses". In addition, Mark Miley noted the "steady progress" of the offensive operation in southern Ukraine carried out by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
As a reminder, the Armed Forces of Ukraine officially received the first HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems on June 23, 2022. Roughly, per day, at least five targets of russian invasion forces were destroyed with the help of these weapons.
Meanwhile, russians continue to report "dozens of HIMARS" destroyed by their military in Ukraine, whereas all they actually find are just wooden decoys made to lure expensive russian cruise missiles.
