On August 1, Ukraine’s defense minister confirmed the country had received four additional M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, called HIMARS for short, from the United States. The same day, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) announced more arms and other aid for Ukraine valued up to $550 million, including 75,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition and an unspecified amount of HIMARS ammunition. Analysts and Ukrainian defense officials have described the HIMARS as a “game changer” in the war because the system allows Ukraine to hit targets from beyond the reach of Russian artillery. HIMARS has been used to blow up Russian ammo dumps and sever supply lines; giving the Kremlin a military and p.r. black eye. Hence a new line of disinformation from Moscow. Russia claimed in recent weeks to have destroyed six HIMARS, but the Pentagon said that claim is “patently false.” Russia also claimed, without evidence, that Ukraine used HIMARS to target a Russian-run prisoner, killing 53 Ukrainian prisoners of war. In fact, available evidence and intelligence assessments about the event suggest that Russia was itself behind the explosion, not HIMARS. Russian state media has also sought to downplay the usefulness of GPS-guided HIMARS, and to dispute their accuracy. https://www.polygraph.info/a/fact-check-why-russia-trash-talks-us-gifted-himars-to-ukraine/31973768.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
