HIMARS ‘hasn’t been used’ to attack Russian territory
Ukraine has not used advanced US-made high mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS) to strike Russian targets outside of Ukraine territory, according to a senior US defence official disputing Russian accusations.
“The Russian claims about using HIMARS to strike outside of Ukrainian territory – those claims are false,” the official quoted by the Reuters news agency, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“Ukraine is using those capabilities to fight the battle that its forces are facing, and they are using them effectively in that battle.”
