Ukrainian Armed Forces show how HIMARS missile systems are stored
Not a single missile system has been destroyed since HIMARS began deliveries to Ukraine. This was reported by a Ukrainian defender with the pseudonym “Captain HIMARS”.
The day before, an introductory video was posted on the Twitter account of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry. In it, Captain HIMARS talks about the storage of American missile systems. For this purpose, the Ukrainian Armed Forces use military facilities built during the Soviet era.
A friendly reminder from Captain HIMARS…

Their message in the post suggests that it should be viewed as a friendly reminder from the “HIMARS captain.” The Ukrainian military asked the Russian soldiers to pass on the coordinates of ammunition arsenals and armored vehicles. In response, the missile systems in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not hit the locations with informants. The fighter emphasized that the top military leadership of the Russian Federation continues to lie about the destruction of all HIMARS systems. In fact, none of them were damaged. HIMARS are stored in Soviet-era military facilities that can withstand a nuclear strike.
