Himars vs. Hurricane ": The Armed Forces fighters destroyed Russian RSZV in duel (video)

To spread: Ukraine's defense forces have successfully applied the American Reactive System of M142 Himars to defeat the Russian RSSU BM-27 "Hurricane". The goal was revealed thanks to the Black Forest Intelligence Brigade. The deputy staff was published by the press service of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces on April 17.

The Russian 220-mm reactive installation stood by the road, had a full ammunition and was under the supervision of a Ukrainian drone, which handed over to the artillerymen and adjust the fire. One Himars installation was used to destroy the target. Although the rocket fell a few meters away from the installation itself, the fragments caused the ammunition, which led to the complete destruction of the system.

Military experts say that the American HIMARS system is different from the Soviet RSSU "Grad" and "Hurricane", first of all, accuracy. While Russian installations use unmanaged reactive shells that create a flat lesion effect, Himars is equipped with high-precision munitions with GPS-pointing such as GMLRS (GMLRS (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System). This allows you to hit goals with minimal deviation and without the need for a massive volley.

In addition, Himars wins in mobility, recharge speed and range. Such technological accuracy allows to efficiently destroy both stationary and moving goals, minimizing the cost of ammunition and time for a fire task. Recall that according to US sources, the further development of the HIMARS system is planned in the near future. Anduril Industries commissioned by the US Army will develop a new solid fuel engine with a diameter of 4. 75 inch (120. 65 mm) for high -precision jet artillery.
