One of the vaunted HIMARS Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) sent to Ukraine by the United States, has been destroyed by the Russian Army.
We are told by sources in Europe this is the first of what will be quite a few more.
Apparently the Russians arranged to "buy" one of the US HIMARS from corrupt government soldiers/officers in Ukraine.
We are also told that Russia paid the cash, received it, took it apart, analyzed it, and has now found "multiple ways to track it, jam it, and destroy it."
Looks like one of the ways they found . . . works.

So, it would make sense, in terms of the time frame that at this point the Russian army has done their engineering analysis and can now use the info to save Russian lives.
This is very good news.
It may only be a representative photo. Russia would be making a nasty security breach if they showed the actual photo, as it might give away the methods they used or their intel sources, if the AFU started piecing together facts.
Head was Photoshopped to protect identity.
Probably doesn't need brains anyway ..... OUCH !
Cloaking device?!? or just a problem with lighting?
In both pictures the head is not recognizable as a human head, what is it above his shoulders? He seems to have a Ukrainian patch on his chest (blue and yellow)
We can clearly see the damaged HIMARS it is not the one they bought is it? We shall soon see if they have stopped the operation of HIMARS by the US/Ukraine forces. I wonder how many are left intact right now.
Could this mean they will be desperate to use them while they still can. Is an attack on Russian territory imminent?
What is happening with the new forces that are twice those originally deployed in the "Special military operation". There does not seem to be much movement of Russian forces at the moment.
I downloaded the photos and then could enlarge them - the head has been 'photoshopped' in both images.
Maybe that's why he's standing on a pile of crap... (badaboom)

for the Gipper
Anyone still trying to sell stuff is a waste of time!
I can just see a meeting at the Pentagon discussing this picture:
Aspiring Colonel: "Can we fix it in software ?"

Called it! :-D
.
We'll never get anything like that on MSM.
But what is that thing that looks like a body with no head in the upper part of the picture, atop the HIMARS chassis ?? Is it ?
