Russian troops have a clear understanding that HIMARS is an unpredictable weapon, the expert noted.

Russian forces cannot adapt to the American HIMARS multiple rocket launchers.

This statement was made by military expert Oleg Zhdanov, noting that it is simply impossible to adapt to HIMARS:

“How did the Russians adapt to HIMARS? No way. That’s their problem. And our advantage. No one can adapt to HIMARS.”

According to him, Russians are wildly afraid of American MLRS:

“Everyone who is in the range of HIMARS is walking and looking around day and night. Even, you see, in the places of concentration of manpower, where they make transshipment mobilized bases that go to the front, they can’t even sleep peacefully there, so that “arrives”. The tendency is to “arrive” more and more often at the places of concentration of infantry, there are huge losses.

Zhdanov recalled the false reports of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which refer to the destruction of thousands of HIMARS in Ukraine, while only a few dozen are in service with the Armed Forces.

“The Russian troops have a clear understanding that HIMARS is an unpredictable weapon, and they are afraid of it,” the expert summarized.
