The Russian air defense equipment could not prevent this. According to Ihor Girkin, ex-captain of the Donetsk militants, the missile complexes did not cope with the task, although “on paper” they had everything necessary for this.
“Girkin complains Russian anti-aircraft weapons (presumably S-400 that boasted such capability on paper) have been unable to shoot down HIMARS missiles, leading to “10 Russian munitions storage facilities destroyed and serious human losses on our side”.

Thanks to HIMARS, Ukraine struck the rear of Russian troops in the occupied territories, undermining their ability to continue to use artillery intensively. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Russian Federation occasionally launches fakes about the alleged destruction of one or two systems.

Together with the transferred ones, Ukraine will have 12 HIMARS systems.  These weapons are much more effective than the Russian ones, and are already changing the course of the war.
