That video is 5 month old OPINION not confirmation. Besides US already debunked as of November.
Here is an article from today....
White House says it can’t confirm that US-supplied heavy artillery system destroyed by Russia in Ukraine
The White House on Wednesday said there was no confirmation of reports from Moscow that the Russian military had destroyed a U.S.-supplied heavy artillery system called HIMARS in Ukraine.
The Russian Defense Ministry on Tuesday said in a progress report that missile and air strikes launched in the east of Ukraine destroyed “two launching ramps for U.S.-manufactured HIMARS multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS).”
National security spokesperson
in a call with reporters, said Wednesday, “I’ve seen Russian claims that they hit a HIMAR system, and in response to this, we have no information to confirm that report.”
Kirby added that the Russians have released similar reports before, suggesting it is part of President
disinformation campaign that paints Russia’s more than 10-month assault on Ukraine as a defensive military operation.
“Let’s be, just, real crystal clear here. This is a war by Russia on Ukraine,” Kirby said.
“And Mr. Putin can claim all he wants that this is some sort of fight against the West, it’s existential for his security, it’s the U.S. versus Russia, it’s NATO versus Russia — we all know that’s a bunch of B.S.,” he continued.
“Russia is the one who’s visited violence on the Ukrainian people at a scale that is quite historic and unprecedented. And we are and will continue to provide them the kinds of systems and assistance that they need to defend themselves.”
The Kremlin’s claims followed
in territory it occupies in eastern Ukraine, where Russian officials said at least 63 of its soldiers were killed after coming under fire from what it said were U.S.-provided HIMARS.
Reached for comment, a Pentagon spokesperson said they “are aware of the reports but are unable to confirm the accuracy at this time.”
“We have deferred to Ukraine to speak to their own operations as they defend themselves from Russian aggression,” the Defense Department spokesperson said.
Kirby said that the
administration could provide Ukraine with additional HIMARS, which stands for High Mobility Artillery Rocket System.
For right now no HiMARS have been destroyed. Can't confirm doesn't mean they are hiding that a himars has been destroyed. If they wanted to hide a HiMARS destruction they would have flat out lied and said no HiMARS has been destroyed.
So for right now US can't confirm if what Russia is claiming is true. This article is hours long so they likely know by now and by tomorrow we'll officially know... if the media ask.
