MOSCOW, May 9th. American military experts cannot understand how Russia managed to suppress the advanced HIMARS missile systems transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces as part of military assistance. Military Watch Magazine writes about this.
According to the newspaper, rocket artillery systems widely used by the Ukrainian military have recently become «increasingly effective» in terms of accuracy.

"Russian air defense systems began to beat them down more and more. At the same time, it remains unclear how the Russian Armed Forces could reduce the effectiveness of these systems so much,” the authors of the article ask.
The publication also notes that in a full-scale war, HIMARS and similar means will become much more vulnerable, scenarios, strikes will be made primarily on American satellites coordinating launches. Russia has so far refrained from shooting down NATO satellites in a limited military conflict in Ukraine, despite steps to further expand its anti-satellite combat capabilities, the columnists concluded. ;
