Although Russia has a quantitative advantage in artillery, it does not have any rocket systems like HIMARS at its disposal. Alexander Musienko, head of the Center for Military Legal Research, told Channel 24 about this.
Russia has no alternative to HIMARS
Musienko said that HIMARS is a relatively new rocket artillery system adopted by the United States. At the same time, Russia did not develop new rocket artillery, but only relied on the repair and modernization of well-known systems such as Grad, Uragan and Smerch.
Alexander Musienko recalled that Russia tried some it's time to upgrade their missiles to Smerch and make them with satellite guidance systems, however, they never managed to make an analogue of such a missile.
They say that they have such weapons, that they also have missiles flying along complex trajectories and are difficult to see for counter-battery systems, but this is not true. They do not have the missiles that HIMARS have,” the expert emphasized.

HIMARS in Ukraine: latest news
- On July 23, Adam Smith, head of the US House Armed Forces Committee, spoke about plans for military assistance to Ukraine, in particular, the provision of HIMARS and MLRS installations. According to him, the partners are striving to reach the figure of 25 or 30 systems, as well as to provide as many missiles for them as possible.

- HIMARS entails panic in the aggressor country and in the ranks of its troops. Even Kremlin propagandists admit that these artillery systems can change the course of the war. That is why the Russian Defense Ministry is spreading fake information about the destruction of HIMARS in Ukraine.
- Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that 50 Russian ammunition depots have already taken off with the help of these artillery systems. Previously, the effectiveness of HIMARS was confirmed even by NASA.
