The American system for launching long-range rockets ‘HIMARS’ is seriously damaging the Russian army in Ukraine, but it will not decide the war

The long-range rocket launch system ‘Himers’ US HIMARS long-range rocket systems, provided by the United States to the Ukrainian army Stops, for now, the progress of the Russian forces in the war in Ukraine and causes them heavy losses.
Since the beginning of July, this system has hit 100 Russian strategic targets that included headquarters, ammunition depots, causing the Russian forces hundreds of casualties per day. The very fact that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu this week ordered the Russian forces to concentrate on destroying the rocket launch system indicates the damage and losses it is causing to the Russians.
But destroying these systems is not such a simple task.
to the army The Russians do not have accurate artillery pieces that can hit the American-Ukrainian systems. Russian attempts to disable these systems through cyberwarfare that would disrupt their GPS navigation systems have so far failed. Military sources in the Pentagon in Washington and Kyiv also denied Russian claims this week that they managed to damage and disable four Hirms systems out of 12 systems that the Americans transferred to Ukraine.
Encouraged by the effect these systems cause The Ukrainian army is now concentrating on trying to liberate the city of Kherson from the hands of the Russian army Kherson. If the Ukrainian army succeeds in this task, it will be able to take control of the two bridges on the Dnipro River, which will open the way to the Black Sea and the port city of Odessa, which the Russian army is trying to take over.
One of the main problems with the use of the rocket launch system is what is the American ability to supply a large number of rockets and spare parts for these systems?
Chief of the American Armed Staff General Mark Miley Gen. Mark Milley said this week, ‘Because the problem will be (with the supply of) ammunition and the pace of arming’, The issue will become ammunition and the consumption rates. “We look at this very carefully on a daily basis.” ‘For now we think we are fine with it’, We are looking at all of that very, very carefully on a day-to-day basis. … We think we’re OK right now.
Miley’s words raise the concern that a large supply of rockets and spare parts could damage the stocks of the American army.
The Americans have so far refrained from sending long-range rockets to Ukraine despite pressure from Kiev longer-range ATACMS rockets capable of hitting targets inside Russia itself.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said this week that “Russia will be forced to occupy additional Ukrainian territory if the West continues to supply Ukraine with weapon systems such as the Hirms system, Russia would be forced to take more territory in Ukraine if the West continued providing it with weapons, such as the HIMARS.
Like any weapon system, the Himars long-range rocket launch system also has its shortcomings. The system is ineffective against moving artillery batteries and against infantry forces. That is why there are American generals who believe that while the attacks on Russian command centers are impressive, the system will not decide the war. In their opinion, in the future it will create a situation of a draw between the two armies.
