The United States does not understand how Russia was able to defeat the HIMARS systems.

U.S. military experts are baffled as they try to understand how Russia was able to suppress the radar systems of advanced HIMARS missile systems transferred to Ukraine as part of military assistance, Military Watch Magazine (MWM) reports. According to the publication, the Ukrainian military makes extensive use of rocket-propelled artillery mounts, but their accuracy is declining.

The article notes that Russian air defense systems (AD) are increasingly shooting down missiles fired using these systems. The question of how the Russian army managed to reduce the effectiveness of HIMARS missile systems so much remains open.

Researchers suggest that in a full-scale war, HIMARS missile systems and similar systems will become even more vulnerable. In this case, their attacks are likely to be directed primarily at US satellites used to coordinate missile launches.

The lack of understanding of the reasons for the decline in the effectiveness of HIMARS missile systems is causing concern among US military experts, as it could signal Russia's ability to neutralize expensive and advanced military systems.
