Russia destroy HIMARS | But they are wooden !

Rockets fired from HIMARS or High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems have struck hundreds of Russian targets in Ukraine, including ammunition depots and command and control posts.

These strikes have restricted Russia's war-fighting capabilities.
The impact is so significant that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has ordered his forces to prioritize destroying them.

But things have not gone according to plan for Russia.

In this video Defense Updates analyzes how Ukraine is tricking Russia into using precious precision weapons to destroy fake HIMARS?

Never underestimate the use of wooden vehicles. They fooled Rommel in North Africa.

Straight out of the Allied playbook from WWII leading up to the D-Day invasion. Well done, Ukraine, well done.

[paulmurray]

LOL! For once, Russia is doing something positive in Ukraine, helping to keep its timber industry busy.😆

[Chuck_Hooks]

Sources say even wooden HIMARS can make Russian tank turrets fly.

[machdaddy]

Russia's "special operation" in Ukraine has seriously damaged their reputation as a super power. At least before they went on this "adventure" they were percieved as a super power.

They tried destroying the inflatable decoys but the bombs bounce off! 💥🤣

[kroooassant]

So you see? Russia was not lying when they said they eliminated 50 (wooden) HIMARS.

Ukrainian forces continuously showing the mighty Russian bear to be very much toothless

The Kaliber has proven to be a quite unreliable cruise missile with up to a 60% failure rate. The comparison to the Tomahawk is silly.

HIMARS decoys can be built even faster, and cheaper, using Coroplast sheets. 😄

I bet Ikea would even participate in manufacturing a quick to assemble flat packed 😄

[Villain]

Good stuff - well done Ukraine 👏

Best wishes to Ukraine her Armed Forces and People 🇺🇦🇬🇧

[JEFFRO]

Russia has been less than impressive in their Special Military Operation.

[akpeweeroh]

The fear of HIMARS for the Russians army is the beginning of wisdom

I'd like to thank Defense Update for sponsoring its own video. Lets get started.

Putin must be getting heartburn every time he hears the word "HIMARS"😉😁😆😈.

"Knew it was wood all along. Are making the sure the Ukrainians don't have firewood in winter"

[rogerhorton]

The wooden replicas are called VIZMODS. Visual Modifications. Decoys have been around for ages. You just don't want to be too close to them when they are found.

[jcwoodman]

🤣🤣🤣pretty soon every farm & sidestreet will have HIMARS loitering🤗

[alieskandari]

Putin’s army should try Plastic HIMARS next time😅

[JohnnyD-u]
