HIMARS Strikes: A Tactical Shift
Recent operations have seen the return of HIMARS strikes, targeting key Russian military assets. Ukrainian intelligence reported the successful destruction of two KA52 ground attack helicopters and MI8 transport helicopters located at a forward arming and refueling point (FARP) in the Belgrad region. This tactical maneuver underscores the effectiveness of Ukrainian special operations forces and highlights the ongoing aerial engagement's significance in the conflict.
Russian sources provide mixed reports regarding these helicopter losses, with some suggesting they may have been decoys. Nonetheless, a consensus from various military bloggers acknowledges that Ukrainian forces have successfully conducted operations inflicting damage on Russian capabilities.
