Himars – long-range rocket launchers from the U.S. – have helped Ukraine target Russian ammunition stores, command posts and fuel depots, slowing down Moscow’s forces. As Washington sends more weapons, WSJ looks at why Kyiv is asking for other advanced tools.

if we took all of the nukes in the world could we use the rockets to go to space as a team winning a bigger space race? lol
what a watse building rockets this small
what about the medical budget in america?
America is a warmonger
Ukraine needs more weapons, so that their oligarchs and US weapons industry can sell them in Black markets…what cynicism !!
To hear you it almost seems that the Ukrainians are about to win the war. 🤣🤣
I'm so proud of us! Yes, that includes you! So many of us are new to investing, but we have not given up even when our stocks kept going down and down, and we bought the dip and the dip and the dip. I know the market could go down again, but even these gains in the last days shows us that one day there will be a bull market and we will prosper. Many of us are underdogs who are trying to gain financial freedom I have made over 16`btc from day trading with Mrs Clara Greens,. Let's continue to encourage each other and invest! I love my 10X family! This is a place to exchange and gain. Have a wonderful week!.
Moral of this war is you can't be broke forever to the point you can't defend yourself or your land
Good let the Ukrainians strike inside of Russia. Russia started this needless war!
Bs
Joe Biden is a war criminal. His mis-guided policies and weakness on the world stage enabled and funded this war!
The media, and the US-LED-UK-BASED imperialism and it's backers must stop misleading the public against Russia – what happened, the explosion in the one of the ammunition storage facility at one of the Russian airbases, apparently also a training facility for the Russian Navy pilots, in Crimea, given the circumstances, was purely an accident -it is only Russia has the precise and firsthand evidence.
Russian intelligence is the most professional, advanced, and sophisticated in the world, and it knows exactly what its enemies (foes) are up to and what they got.
The people who believe in the US or its alliance (the US-LED-UK-BASED imperialism) are among the most ignorant and lack of wisdom (lack of Godly guidance) – the US and its alliance, including, some media outlets can only mislead this kind of people. A person who is possessed by evil walks in darkness – blind to the reality and truth.
(1)Weapons storages of modern or latest advanced weapons systems, including, missiles that carry explosives are extremely high risk. (Defense Technology, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2021, Pages 1081-1093)
(2) Under no circumstances Ukraine could fire either missiles or flying objects into Crimea. Crimea is highly fortified with world's most advanced missiles defense shields and their accompanied defenses such as Pantsir. The Russian missile defense system does also intelligence gathering, and they are also designed to work with satellites, including those dedicated. Usually, the defense systems are both manual and automated – usually rely on transponder codes to distinguish between friends (buddies) and enemies (foes). Russian air defenses do take into account stealth (anti-radar detection) enemies. The American HIMARS was engineered in 1990s.
(3)Russians defense shield does take into account HIMARS; otherwise, Russian missile defense system would not be the most demanding in the world.
(4)Russians defense shield does take into account M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (M270 MLRS) is an American armored, self-propelled, multiple rocket launcher, which was designed in 1977, and was produced between 1983-2003.otherwise, Russian missile defense system would not be the most demanding in the world.
(5) Such storage facilities are constantly monitored, including with CCTV cameras. Accordingly, the Russians are the only people who know exactly what happened.
(6) The satellite images of the areal view were provided by the US to the media; the US and alliance are the biggest enemies of Russia, and they are the world's biggest liars, thieves, gangsters, murderers, and deceivers, whose primary intention to humiliate and destroy Russia by hook or by crook (deception, bribery, fabrication, and lies). Those satellite images were obviously tampered with and fake in comparison to Russia's firsthand evidence. It is only Russia that has the genuine or the accurate information, given the circumstances; and there are no 'ifs and buts' with regard to this.

Can someone explain why Ukraine shouldn’t be given weapons to strike Russian city’s? Russia has been attacking Ukrainian city’s and civilians since the outset of Russias unprovoked attack on Ukraine. Are Russian cities and civilians more valuable then their Ukrainian counterparts?
I don’t think so, in fact their is a good argument to be made that the exact opposite is true. Point is, i bet this war would be a lot shorter if HIMARS tactical missiles started striking Moscow and other Russian cities. Let the Russian population experience what their omnipotent leprechaun czar Putin has been doing to Ukraine.
Big USA guns bringing the hurt down on Russian regular army soldiers!
Thanx US to support Ukraine against Russian terrorist state 🙏🙏🙏💙💛
Everyone knows that the USA, UK, and some blind NATO countries, as usual, are secretly fomenting a disastrous WAR in the world for their own gain, profit, and interests.
The United States, the United Kingdom, and NATO are making money from weapons and benefiting from the destruction of other nations and human lives.
In fact, now the losers are Ukraine, Russia, the EU & the world, but not the US or the UK.
It is also good education for Taiwan and the world.
Himar American made is so powerful.thsts Taiwan wants to fight china
i can only have respect for ukrain to have such courage and fight for themselves
support for russia fighting imperailists defending its security
admiration for usa puting ukrain in face of its geopolitical rival just like it did with mujahidin in afghanistan and will if necessary in Taiwan weakening its enemys without even going to war
if china would took the bate of taiwan they will return to the middle ages
Ni rereserve cguro nila ung mga elites military men..even modern military hardware..incase of world war 3…

well.
Most Russian grunts aren't all that happy about being in Ukraine without some kind of reasonable explanation as to why? and then they're not getting paid and there families back home need money for food. Now there looking at the calender and know they're not prepared for a Ukraine winter that just around the corner and their -engaged in a trench warfare. At least not with a guy like Putin in charge who's famous for his no troop support.attitude.
in comparison to spending which was spent annually on Aafganistani war, that 10b already spent in Ukraine is a measly i'd say, but we have to consider that no American AF are in Ukraine
Anyway big thanks to US being so generous and helpful, but heavy assault machines will be handy
America needs to be very careful that it does not leave itself short of weapons as China might take the opportunity to attack the US
May Allah Bless the Ukrainians
Yeah , f 16 and a- 10 would be good.
Zelenzky become a global icon, the Tshirt,, slava Ukraine from Africa
Most Russian ammo/fuel arrive s.Ukraine via Kerch Bridge, if remove 1 span no logistics/no fighting. WH claim 300km himars, can strike russia. Simple IT fix – overlay digital map on fire ctl app, so users can't type gps coords in Russia / return error msg. Similar to what I do, for sending out junk mail.
The HIMARS are a game changer is absolute 💩. Show one area on the front line where Ukraine have taken back any significant ground.
Come on a Asia And Russia moment is now. I don't think that we won't get any more perfect and we are now we could but it's gonna be rough. I'm ready at the end of my resources. I already have Mexico with us to begin war if you can start Canada and get through or have Canada get with you when we take over USA why not? They did not change the order to the custody case. It's in American history books they stole the land. That is what they teach us.
Everyone's already fling to the middle of America as of three years ago. It was called the great white migration. Come on there's very minimal security in the borders here at the coasts They have full borders near Utah getting into the next country. I wonder why?
They were not going to add any earths resources between California and Mexico you think that no the full on border is in the middle America
This war isn’t to help Ukraine this war is for the west to weaken Russia. Same reason the US wants to help Taiwan because it’ll weaken one of the wests biggest rivals.
The problem is they need another 50 HIMARS. The biggest issue will be whether an adequate supply of ammunition is available.
