@noclador Translation: You and many commentators for some reason limit the role of HIMARS-GMRLS to "fighting super-concentrated artillery". But what I have been told by those stationed at Nova Kakhovka takes the role of this system much higher. /1

@noclador HIMARS was not just destroying artillery, but actually the entire military infrastructure in the city, all the depots and warehouses, all the places where military activity was observed. There were hundreds of corpses of Russian soldiers, and the civilians suffered as well. /2

@noclador Warehouses were torn up in such a way that entire blocks were blown away. But it was not only artillery, tanks, APCs, BMPs, personnel and materiel. Everything was blown up. Survivors remember Nova Kakhovka with horror. /3

@noclador All buildings with a minimal presence of Russian Armed Forces were hit. And the crossings too. As far as I understand, it was a similar case in all major cities and places that the RF Armed Forces relied on. /4

@noclador HIMARS not only put an end to the over-concentration of artillery, but over the summer they have worn off the regular army of the Russian Federation. Who sat under shelling. And not only the LDNR People's Militia. /5

@noclador Some elite units tried to crush the GPS [guidance] at the very end of the trajectory, but the missiles travelled on inertial [guidance] and statistically (and practically) there was no meaningful increase [sic, probably means decrease] in circular error probable. /6

@noclador Now the Russian Federation actually does not have a regular army, and every month the position of the RF Armed Forces is weaker. The replacement weapons and reinforcements in the form of the mobilised are not even close to what they lost in the first month of the war,... /7

@noclador in the treacherous original plan of the Special Military Operation, and finished off in late spring - summer.

The Russian Federation will continue to lose territories, including those that it had before February 24. /8

@noclador Until the military-political leadership and the multinational system are changed,the items needed to win will simply not be produced. /9

@noclador On the other hand, there will be wrecking waves of mobilization of 300,000, their grinding down by personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 3-4 months, then a new wave - and so on until complete de-Russification. /end
