The Financial Times shared the information.

According to Reznikov, the same applies to HIMARS MLRS.

"The Russians come up with a countermeasure, we inform our partners and they make a new countermeasure against this countermeasure," the minister said.

He emphasized that this is a "war of technology.”

Information available regarding HIMARS

This is an American rocket artillery system designed for "hit and run" tactics. It is equipped with guided high-precision rockets, tactical and ballistic missiles, and has a range of up to 499 km. Its primary purpose is to eliminate artillery systems, air defense units, fire support systems, trucks, combat vehicles, and armored personnel carriers concentrated in specific areas. Additionally, it provides essential fire support to its own units and support assets.

On June 23, 2022, the first American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems arrived in Ukraine. They played a crucial role in the preparation and conduct of successful operations against the Russian army.

According to the US Army, by mid-August 2022, Ukraine had destroyed over 100 high-value Russian targets using HIMARS.

On June 27, 2023, the US announced a new USD 500 million aid package for Ukraine, which included ammunition for Patriot and HIMARS, as well as armored vehicles.

According to Ukraine's Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar, as of July 4, 2023, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have managed to retain all their HIMARS systems despite Russia's continuous efforts to target them.
