The American multiple launch rocket system is similar to systems made by the Soviets and Russia, the president of the aggressor country believes.
The decision of the US authorities to supply Himars multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) to Ukraine will not fundamentally change anything in the balance of power. Such an opinion was expressed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview published on Sunday, June 5th.
“There is nothing new here. First, many of these rocket launch systems – after all, they are in service with the Ukrainian army – similar Soviet systems, Russian production Grad, Smerch, Uragan,” he said. of the president of the aggressor country.

He recalled that “the range does not depend on the system itself, but on the missiles used.”
“What we hear now and what we understand is missiles flying exactly 45-70 km, depending on the type of missile. Well, the same thing happened with Grads, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, I said – there’s also a range of 40 -70 km. Nothing new, “explained the President of the Russian Federation.
Putin added that the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine is connected “with the replenishment of losses of this military equipment, nothing new here, and it does not change anything in essence.”
Putin also went through artillery. According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine initially had 515 units of such weapons, of which 380 were allegedly destroyed.
“But a portion was returned, taken from the stocks, as we understand, and they have about 360 in stock,” he added.
The Russian President of the Russian Federation called the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine a “disruption”, only prolonging the “conflict”.
“In general, all this chaos over the further delivery of weapons, I think, has only one purpose – to drag the armed conflict as far as possible,” he said.
Putin added that Russia would draw appropriate conclusions if the West supplied Ukraine with long -range missiles.
“But, if they are given and given, we will draw appropriate conclusions from it and use our weapons, which we have enough, to strike things that we have not yet hit,” the President of the Russian Federation concluded. .
It will be recalled that this week, US President Joe Biden announced the transfer of the modern HIMARS MLRS missile system to Ukraine. Kyiv will also receive many other weapons and ammunition.
The media also reported that the Ukrainian military has started a training course on working with HIMARS MLRS.
