The Russia-Ukraine war has entered its fifth month. During the " Group of Seven " summit, the Ukrainian army showed its strength. At the "G7" summit, Western countries once again united and announced that they would insist on increasing sanctions on Russia, while also supporting Ukraine. Faced with the support of the Western world, Ukraine acted like a chicken. On June 27, it launched a strike against multiple Russian ammunition depots in the Luhansk region. According to multiple information, the Ukrainian army used the M142 Seamaster high-mobility rocket launcher obtained from the United States. For this reason, it has new power to launch a surprise attack. Judging from the information released by Ukraine, the Ukrainian army has 4 M142 high-mobility rocket launcher systems.
The M142 high-mobility rocket launcher has more advantages than the original M777 howitzer . In addition to the range, the M142 high-mobility rocket launcher has more powerful maneuverability because the M142 itself has a power unit. According to photos taken by the European Sentinel spy satellite, at least four ammunition depots of the Russian army were destroyed in Luhansk. Global Defense Observation believes that the Russian army is "soft-hearted", which led to the sneak attack by the Ukrainian army. The M142 high-mobility rocket launcher was transported to eastern Ukraine through the railway system, but Russia did not directly attack it, so it encountered a vicious attack.
The current focus of the Russian army's operations is in the Donbass region. From the perspective of Russia's tactics, it is to completely control the Donbass region, which also includes Kharkov. The Russo-Ukrainian war began on February 24. Russian President Vladimir Putin personally ordered the start of a "special military operation" in Ukraine. The Russo-Ukrainian war is the largest "black swan event" in 2022. 202206299/Global Defense Observer/Ali, from the perspective of the Russia-Ukraine war, the tactics of the Russian army are quite conservative, because the Russian army did not attack Ukraine’s transportation facilities on a large scale, so that the weapons provided by the West can enter the eastern part of Ukraine with swagger. In addition to the M142 high-mobility rocket launcher, the remaining M777 howitzers and T-72 main battle tank also entered eastern Ukraine via railway.
After the Russia-Ukraine war, in addition to increasing sanctions on Russia, the United States and other Western countries are also providing Ukraine with a large amount of weapons and equipment. Recently, Ukraine has put forward the demand for long-range air defense missiles. During the "G7" summit, Western countries have reached a consensus that they will still provide Ukraine with a large amount of weapons and equipment. Judging from the critical attack on Russia's ammunition depot in Luhansk, the Ukrainian army obtained the US-made M142 high-mobility rocket launcher to show off its power. Russia underestimated the harm caused by the M142 rocket launcher. The U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps are equipped with a large number of M142 high-mobility rocket launchers. After the M777 howitzer encountered a large-scale attack by Russia, the United States changed its strategy and provided M142 rocket launchers with mobile capabilities.
The United States still has a hand in providing M142 high-mobility rocket launchers. If the United States provides the tactical missile with a range of 300 kilometers, Ukraine will have the ability to attack important targets in Russia. However, as the Russian army advances in Ukraine, the United States is very It is possible to provide tactical missiles. The critical attack on multiple ammunition depots of the Russian army this time also served as a reminder to Russia that if it does not attack the weapons provided by the West at the source, Russia will fall into more passivity. The United States and Western countries have increased their military aid to Ukraine in order to bring down Russia. The Russia-Ukraine war has become an opportunity for the West to further squeeze Russia's living space.
