Russia's MLRS Losses Milestone Hints at HIMARS Superiority (newsweek.com)

More than 1,000 Russian multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) have now been destroyed on the battlefields of Ukraine, per the latest figures claimed by authorities in Kyiv, as Moscow's forces continue attacking all along the 600-mile front despite staggering casualties and meager gains.

The grueling experience of Russian MLRS crews stands in stark contrast to the Ukrainians operating the U.S.-made M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System—colloquially known as the HIMARS—and related NATO platforms including the German MARS and British M270s.

Moscow's forces are yet to score a confirmed kill of any Western-supplied MLRS system, a reflection of the weapons' tactical and political value for Kyiv as well as the range and mobility of the platforms. In mid-February, video emerged of two purported HIMARS being loaded onto a transport plane, perhaps bearing shrapnel damage.

The Western systems offer far greater range than the Soviet-designed GRAD launchers that make up the lion's share of the Russian and Ukrainian MLRS armories. The Global Firepower Index for 2024 estimated that Russia has around 3,000 MLRS units, of which 2,000 are available for use.
