☆ Ukraine's air-defense problems are letting Russia launch HIMARS-style deep strikes behind the front lines
  + stars: | 2024-05-14 | by ( Ella Sherman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Read previewUkraine's struggling air-defenses have opened doors for the Russians to launch their own strikes similar to Ukraine's HIMARS attacks. AdvertisementWith better targeting, Russia is executing strikes behind the lines with Iskander tactical ballistic missiles and rocket launchers like the Tornado-S system. "There have been other notable strikes of a kind that Russia has long aspired to but rarely successfully executed." Russia was originally unable to defeat or conduct the same kind of strikes as Ukraine's HIMARS due to a lack of precision, targeting capabilities, and timely intel. "The outlook in Ukraine is bleak," Watling wrote.

☆ Ukraine is focusing on blowing up Russia's electronic warfare systems that are impeding its advanced weapons

Ukraine is putting renewed effort into its fight against Russia's electronic warfare, CNN reported. AdvertisementUkraine is focused on destroying Russia's electronic warfare systems that are increasingly hampering its advanced weaponry, CNN reported. Electronic warfare systems can seriously hamper advanced weapons, by jamming signals or by confusing a missile as to where it is, causing it to miss its target. AdvertisementCompared to older weapons systems, modern systems like HIMARS are particularly vulnerable to electronic warfare because they use GPS to hit their targets, CNN noted. But he warned that Russia was outdoing Ukraine in developing its own electronic warfare systems.

☆ US-made ATACMS cluster missiles could give Ukraine's HIMARS the power to punish Russia's artillery and 'cut off' its army, former US artillery officer says

One variant that could help Kyiv is the M39 cluster missile, which has nearly 1,000 submunitions. Rice has lobbied for Washington to send cluster munitions since July 2022, and his efforts have also focused on cluster rockets and missiles. Fewer of these were produced compared to the older M39 cluster variant, military research indicates. That's what ATACMS cluster missiles will help do, he said. With longer-range M39 ATACMS missiles packed with far more explosive submunitions, this becomes even more of a deadly challenge for Moscow's army.

☆ HIMARS changed the game in Ukraine, but a former US artillery officer says what they need now is a firepower boost with M26 cluster rockets
  + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
HIMARS rockets proved to be a game-changing weapon for Ukraine when they arrived last year. Now they need is a firepower boost from M26 cluster rockets, a former US artillery officer says. For this reason, HIMARS rockets aren't used against individual Russian artillery pieces and are instead fired sporadically at higher-value targets, Rice said. A top Pentagon official said last month that Russia's cluster munitions, by comparison, have a dud rate of up to 40%. AdvertisementAdvertisementLike he first did with the 155 millimeter cluster munitions, Rice is currently lobbying for Washington to provide the M26 rockets to Ukraine.

☆ A busted Russian warship may not have seen an exploding Ukrainian drone boat coming, hinting at problems that have plagued Russia throughout its war
  + stars: | 2023-08-09 | by ( Ryan Pickrell | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
A Russian warship was struck by a Ukrainian drone boat that it doesn't appear to have seen coming. Just a few days before this attack, Russian vessels were fighting off drone boats in another incident. "It just seems very strange they didn't respond at all to the incoming drone boats," Clark added. The Russian ship may have assumed it was safe in Novorossiysk, given that the port is roughly 350 miles from the Ukrainian port city of Odessa, but it shouldn't have. The reach of Ukraine's drone boats was hardly a secret.

☆ Ukraine released footage of a HIMARS strike on Russians gathering out in the open on a beach, saying it took out 200 troops

Ukraine on Tuesday published footage of a HIMARS strike on Russian units deployed to a sandbank. The clip appears to show soldiers stretching and exercising, as well as lining up in the open. Ukraine said it caused 200 casualties at Dzharylhach island, which is reported to be a training ground. The outlet reported that 200 Russian soldiers "were lost," though it's unclear how many died or were injured. On July 23, US-based defense think tank The Institute for Study of War wrote that Russian forces had "recently established training grounds on Dzharylhach Island."

☆ Storm Shadows are a threat to Russian forces in Ukraine, but busted missile remains may offer lessons for Moscow's military
  + stars: | 2023-07-11 | by ( Ryan Pickrell | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
UK-provided Storm Shadows are a new threat to Russian forces operating in Ukraine. Russian forces recently claimed to have recovered a downed missile. The recovered Storm Shadow could hold clues for the Russian military, but there's a question of whether they can learn from them. A Storm Shadow missile is prepared for loading to a Royal Air Force Tornado GR4 aircraft in the Gulf in support of Operation TELIC, March 21, 2003. Throughout the fight in Ukraine, Russian forces have had to learn lessons, but it's often a grinding and costly process.

☆ Moscow's military leadership is under fire after a Ukrainian HIMARS strike killed scores of Russian soldiers
  + stars: | 2023-01-03 | by ( Jake Epstein | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Russia said a recent Ukrainian HIMARS strike in the occupied Donetsk region killed 63 of its soldiers. Over the weekend, Ukrainian forces used a US-provided High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) to attack Russian positions in Makiivka, a city with a pre-war population of nearly 350,000 people in eastern Ukraine's occupied Donetsk region. Russia's defense ministry said on Monday that Ukrainian forces fired six rockets and that the strikes on Russian positions killed 63 soldiers, state news agency TASS reported. Videos of the aftermath of the deadly attack, which have been published on social media by top Ukrainian officials, showed a scene of rubble and smoke. Ukraine's HIMARS strike came as Russian forces fired a barrage of Iranian-made suicide drones into Ukraine over a two-day period, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
☆ Russia has failed to destroy a single HIMARS launcher to date, but Ukraine still needs more artillery: report

Russia has not destroyed a single HIMARS launcher to date, a defense official told Politico. The long-range rocket launchers have been a huge asset to Ukraine's war effort thus far. But Ukraine still needs much more artillery for the fight ahead, the official said. Russia has failed to destroy a single HIMARS launcher since Ukraine first began using them in June, a senior Defense Department official told Politico. Despite the HIMARS' power, Ukraine still needs more artillery for the fight ahead, the same defense official told Politico.

Why Driverless Cars Are Taking ‘Hyper-Realistic’ Virtual Driving LessonsNo matter how many real-world miles driverless cars experience, it’s unlikely they’ll come up against all of the rare and dangerous incidents they could encounter. So now, driverless car companies have turned to hyper-realistic virtual worlds to safely test their cars against some of the most extreme scenarios. Illustration: George Downs
