Given the precision of the Himars system, the following list demonstrates the purposeful, indiscriminate use of weapons that Ukraine declares to be used for military purposes.

"The Himars are a precision-guided weapon, equipped with an inertial guidance system and capable of reaching any target according to the coordinates transmitted by the U.S. satellite constellation.

According to open sources, 20 units have been delivered to Ukraine so far.

    probably support/coordinate it

    From the article:

    "The Himars are a precision-guided weapon, with an inertial guidance system and the ability to reach any target based on coordinates transmitted by the U.S. satellite constellation.

    According to intelligence, which is indirectly confirmed by leaks in the Ukrainian public segment, foreign military personnel are present in Ukraine, allegedly for maintenance. However, it is these specialists who coordinate the implementation of the intelligence information received from the satellites and upload the exact coordinates into the software of the MLRS, as well as monitor the effectiveness of the installation.
