Since Russia first invaded Ukraine back in February 2022, the U.S. and other North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members have provided Kyiv with scores of advanced military equipment and weaponry.
The Biden administration and the U.S. Congress has directed more than $75 billion alone in assistance to Ukraine, which includes humanitarian assistance, training, weapons and munitions.
Many analysts believe Kyiv’s defensive strategy against Russia would be severely hampered without this Western assistance.
Perhaps one of the most effective systems provided to Ukraine by the U.S. is HIMARS. The long-range, mobile, precision fire launcher has proven to be a significant asset for Kyiv.
In the video published by the group’s @UAWeapons Twitter handle, the self-propelled gun is seen traveling on an isolated direct road when it is struck.
Following a burst of flames that erupt around the gun, the camera pans in and billows of grey smoke appear.
