The video showed the identification of the target, which is the US "HIMARS" missile launcher, before launching the missiles and destroying them completely.


The  Russian Defense Ministry said , in a press briefing for its spokesman Igor Konashenkov, on Sunday, that Russian forces destroyed "another HIMARS launcher" in Donbass .


Konashenkov explained that the Russian forces destroyed, with high-precision weapons, a launcher and a loading vehicle for a US-made HIMARS launcher  , in the Krasno- Armysk  Donetsk region.


This targeting of US weapons is not the first of its kind, as the Russian Ministry of Defense had announced , 10 days ago, that its forces had destroyed two former HIMARS launchers and their ammunition stores in eastern Ukraine.


The American launcher is a highly mobile artillery missile system, which is a light rocket launcher that was developed in the late 1990s for the US Army .


The launcher carries 6 missiles or one missile, which is placed on the medium tactical vehicle, which weighs 5 tons.


The missiles have a range of about 480 km, along with a launch speed of 85 km per hour.
