The Kremlin has claimed multiple times that it destroyed a U.S.-supplied M142 HIMARS launcher in Ukraine. Until this week, every such claim was a falsehood. However, on Wednesday, a Ukrainian HIMARS was targeted and destroyed, probably by a single Iskander missile.

Video of the strike and its fiery aftermath has circulated on X. According to geolocation data, it occurred near the village of Nykanorivka in the Donetsk Oblast, about 25 to 30 miles west of the current frontlines.

The HIMARS is considered a high-value target, and for good reason

The loss has given Moscow another propaganda coup, coming just days after the destruction of a third U.S.-supplied M1 Abrams main battle tank.

However, Russia's chances of successfully targeting another HIMARS may be limited. Not only will the Ukrainians be more cautious when employing the launchers, but the supply of ammunition for the platform has been stalled as U.S. lawmakers argue over continued support for Ukraine.

Ukraine will likely run out of ordnance for the HIMARS before Russia can destroy all of the launchers.
