Does a bridge need to come down for it to be missioned killed? If so why are Russians building pontoon bridges next to a bridge that hasn't come down? Why are Russians, according to their own telegrams, trapped in Kherson and using ferries and pontoons to evacuate?

Please, if an MLRS can't at least kill a bridge, then what's even the point of acquiring them. Pardon me my annoyance, but as a Chinese, I am really getting irritated with this boastful glee with the petty little HIMARS. Even its full capability (apart from nuclear tipped ballistic missiles) is laughable compare to what China can offer to the export market. HIMARS is only good for boasting the confidence of twitter readers. To any serious member of Sinodefenseforum, it's mediocre at best.
To put it bluntly and in everyday language, it would like you boasting about Chinese, or Indian, or Korea basketball teams to NBA fans: they are used to the type of intensity and basketball skill level that would make any other team outside of the USA look like junior amateur basketball. It's okey if you do it once in a while. But if you keep on doing it, well, it's not even insulting, it's awkwardly annoying.
Yeah that was not HiMARS. Plus Gen Milley said this.
DOD:
HiMARS has changed the war those that don't believe that don't want to accept that over a dozen launchers were able to give Ukraine the offensive capability to kick out Russia from Kharkiv Oblast. Destroying Russian weapons depots played an enormous role allowing Ukraine to be in the position where it is. HiMARS is not an MLRS it's pretty much Ukraine's only capability for CAS and Interdiction. These targets being hit by HiMARS the US would have taken out with air power that is US MO but Ukraine doesn't have an air force capable to do such sorties that is where HiMARS fills that gap and now because of that Ukraine is about to take control of Kherson west of Derp river.
@Mod. Posted this before reading your complaint.
Looks like a missile was still inside. (Warning loud obnoxious music in video)
He specifically meant T-62M variant which has more advance optics and ATGM capability contrary to T-72M
Question is will Ukraine let them escape or wait for them to bunch up and rain arty and GMLRS.... I say let them escape. It's all about optics and how the west perceives Ukraine in this war. Then again I could be waaay wrong and Ukraine is out for blood and totally annihilates them. Either way we're gonna find out soon.
